Title: You Will Shine
Text: John 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.
In other words, the Bible says, even though there is darkness covering many things, many people, and thick darkness here and there but yet the darkness could not hinder that light.
You are the light of the world. Jesus Christ, our Master, called us Light and we can never be hidden.
As you are reading this article right now, that is the very area of your life in which the light is not shining the way it is supposed to be.
I command the power of God to bring forth the light in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Now, when you think about this world where we are, different situations or circumstances here and there as human beings, you might be thinking, Will I be able to shine in this kind of world? Is this how I will be spending my life forever?
No, God is a God of change, an Unchangeable changer. He can change the situation that you are going through now. Somehow, this is the time that people do see this world as if there is no certain hope for people.
They call it a time of uncertainty. A time that people lose hope, Many believe they cannot succeed in life and struggle. But I want to tell you, that in the midst of it, you will rise and shine.
The will of God, the plan of God for you, the next agenda of God for you is to lift you.
Whatever you are passing through now, it may be sickness, knocked down to it, and you think you cannot raise again. Added it if you heard rumors with problems right here and there. There are covid attacks, locked down in the pandemic, and no hospital accommodation. I want to tell you that God never forgets you regardless of what is happening around you, you are still going to shine.
You might feel that your business is failing, your career is not working, your job is not going well because of the pandemic and you may ask if you can still rise again.
You might have been the breadwinner in your family before but now, you are the one asking for money from them because you do have not enough anymore. Don’t worry about it because it’s not yet done. God has sent me a word to tell you that you are destined to shine and will surely shine. When I say, to shine, it simply means to bring forth the real glory of your life and to bring forth the colorful destiny of your life which is the plan of God for you.
Somehow you know if you look at the gold which looks genuine and glorious.
But when it comes out from the process of passing through the goldsmith. The gold finds itself in the very hot fire. Maybe the gold is crying inside and thinking that its end for the fire is too much to bear. The fire is not allowed to destroy the gold but to make it shine. After passing through the fire, the end thereof is shining forth. The people will look for gold with great value. The same thing in your life, you might be facing hardships like a fire. and say, I cannot imagine that there’s somebody who has problems like mine which is too much to carry.
You might think that God is not answering your petitions even if you have tried many possible solutions. I have good news for you the fire is not to consume you but it’s just to make you shine brighter.
As God Almighty lives, soon and very soon, people shall see the glory of God in your life even in your family and every aspect of your destiny in life. God never forgets you and He has sent me to tell you that this day is your turn to shine
If you believe it, so shall you shine. Hallelujah, Jesus.
The passage we read never says that the light shines because everywhere is okay, No,! For the light shines even in the darkness. This world is dark and you are the light that shines in this darkest world.
You will shine in every aspect of your life and many will come to locate Jesus Christ through your life
That’s why many people are facing hardships like what you are going through which is very tough.
So that by the time God will lift you, you will be able to know how to rescue those who are in trouble that you overcome. You will not miss your shining for it is God’s plan for you to shine in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Whatever God wants to bring forth in the fulfillment of His purpose upon the life of somebody, He usually sends a messenger to make a declaration. And I’m glad to declare that God has sent me this day and say His agenda for you is to make you shine.
You are getting out of that situation like sickness, debt, problems, or frustrations you are passing through. God will get you out of it. Believe God with me as it’s just a few days to come and you’ll be having a testimony.
People will congratulate you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Believe the Word of God, Hallelujah! It’s your turn, it’s your time to shine.
Let me tell you quickly what the Bible says, so that you may know and understand what I am trying to talk about. Isaiah 60: 1 says Arise, Shine for thy light has come
You will rise and you will shine because God of the light Himself will rise on you. The glory of the Lord will burst forth whereas the glory has been before.
If you are encountering challenges, failures, and disappointments, tossed with the storm, troubles, and turmoil, don’t forget that God has packaged the glory from heaven inside you.
It’s just waiting for the day to rise. Therefore, whatever your hardships now, God is about to bring forth what He has packaged in you for shining forth. It shall manifest by the speed in the name of Jesus, Amen.
You, who are reading this article right now, will never miss your shining forth in your business, career, job, family, and children, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
In those areas of your desires in life in which the darkness is too much, hear the Word of God, you are shining this time and God is making a way for you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Let me show you quickly the keys you need in your journey of shining forth by the grace of God.
1. Keep following the shining Christ.
Jesus is the light. When you accept Him in your life, you belong to Him. It means that you belong to the camp of light. But when you forsake Jesus Christ that means you moved to the camp of darkness. It’s not possible to stay neutral.
It’s like saying, Lord, I’m not going to follow you, I’m not listening to any messages from any Pastors in any churches, I’m not going to Satan either, I just want to be alone.
It’s impossible. It is either you belong to the light or you belong to the darkness.
If you say, ‘ Light, I don’t need you’. Darkness will tell you, I am here for you.
May you never be part of that darkness in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
If you want to shine, follow the shining Christ, that is Jesus. yes, the One what the Bible talks about. He shines and the darkness can never cover Him.
So, whoever follows Christ Jesus, no matter what you may be facing, your tomorrow is secured.
You might never have enough to feed yourself, but very soon, a day shall come when you will become a multi-millionaire because you are following the shining Christ.
Your shining will come forth and it’s very, very important not to forsake the shining Christ, follow Him, abide in Him, and stay with Him. The only reason why Satan is trying to kick you here and there is to make sure that you are going to be weary. It’s just to take you away from Jesus and he will cover you totally but if you can follow Jesus and make a firm decision to follow Him seriously without looking back, you shall surely shine for God’s glory. You shall be able to bring a lot of people to God’s kingdom as your shining will bring forth the glory of God.
It may take time, for nobody followed Jesus and regretted it
The Bible says, even though Lot who followed Abraham was blessed by God Lot didn’t ask anything from God. Only to Abraham God spoke to. But because Lot, followed Abraham was blessed as well.
So, whoever follows Jesus will never regret it in the end but rather will end in shining forth.
Don’t say, ‘This is the time that I will not go to church again because I am tired of that church. No! Just follow Jesus continually, This is not the time to surrender because your shining is about to manifest. Just wait for only a few more days and the glory of God will surely burst forth shining in your life.
And everyone who knows you will say, ‘Congratulations ‘ to you
People will share your testimony and your story.
They will say that ‘ God has done it for him or her.
That’s the Word of God for you. Follow Jesus.
2. Arise and shake off the chain – Isaiah 52:1-2 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, o Zion put on thy beautiful garments, Shake thyself from the dust; Arise ,,,,,,
Shake yourself off! When your shining is about to happen, there must be some dust that should be taken away from you, otherwise, dust will cover the shining.
What is the dust I am trying to talk about? Probably, you are walking and following Jesus in a zigzag way. One leg for Jesus and the other leg for Satan.Shaking off the other one and focusing on Jesus. Maybe, you are discouraged and weary because of what other people say around you, you have seen yourself as if you cannot succeed in life. Discouragement has worn you down, Shake it off. Look up for it’s not yet the end of you. You are going to shine. You had your challenges of frustrations yesterday, some problems here and there that came like a rushing mighty wind, debts, affliction, or whatever it may be, Shake it off!! Get up and say, ‘ I’m going to shine’. Don’t let the devil rejoice over you. You are not destined to be a victim of any Devil.
Failure should not be a problem.
Every great person that will shine forth passed through failure. They fail and fail until they succeed. You may have a relationship disappointment, failure in business, or being knocked down by sin, challenges one way or another, but it’s not the end of you. Decide to shake it off.
We are not here to condemn you. God is good and He wants to rescue you if you want to make up your mind today.
I dropped that sin, I’m not going back there anymore. I want to follow Jesus, I will start to be holy again, walk righteously and God will say, ‘Good of you, my daughter, my son, wake up, I will strengthen you and from there, you will shine.
Everybody will see and say How glorious God is in your life.
I declare in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, every challenge that the enemy ties you down, every weight that the enemy weighs you down, I command them to lose totally in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I see you are lifting, rising, and sh, shining forth in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Shake it off and start to shine. That problem won’t stop you from shining because you carry a great glorious package from heaven above and you will not miss it.
3. Push away the darkness – Isaiah 60: 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord arises upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
If you want to shine, one of the most important things is you need to be a fighter in spirit. Not just somebody who says, ‘ I’m just tired, it’s better to die, No, no, no !!
Rise and say, ‘ Darkness, you are not permitted in my home, in my house, in my ministry, Move!!’ Satan is like a goat, He will move a little, little, and will watch you. If you become too gentle, He will say, ‘ I will come back ‘. But if you will be like a dog, when you come to him, very great and push him away. That’s why I call it, Push away the darkness, Move,!!
He will move a little but not yet then ..Move, this is not the place, Move! Then the devil will say, ‘ Now, I realized that I am in the wrong place, Bye,!’
For you to shine forth, push in prayer, that’s why we call it in prayer, Push Until Something Happens.
You are just praying but it seems nothing is happening. You keep on praying and it seems nobody listens.
No one recognizes what you are doing.
You just keep praying as if you haven’t heard anything from God. Keep on praying, the more you pray, the more you keep pushing on something.
Every hindrance beyond the limitations is taking over and soon your shining forth shall manifest. Then the whole world will see that God is in you. Congratulations!
Don’t be discouraged it is not yet manifesting. It’s just in the process, just keep pushing and have a testimony soon in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
I say you will have a testimony concerning your marriage, children, business, career, job, and ministry which seem to be difficult and impossible as it is no way.
Just continue to push in prayer and God will make a way for you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Do not allow any situations around you to intimidate you. God is taking you somewhere higher, greater beyond what you are expected and you shall surely shine.
Let me tell you one more.
4. Embrace divine Wisdom – Daniel 12:3 The wise will shine like a star in the firmament.
So, it takes wisdom to shine.
If truly you want to shine, what do I mean by this?
When God wants to manifest your shining, one of the important things God will do is He will go on with signals, ideas, and inspirations.
When you are receiving those signals, rise and be sensitive to them. Take note, take a step and it will lead you to your shining. Some so many people are too tied down to what they believed for so many years.
Oh, No!? That’s how I’ve been doing it for 20 years, for 50 years, I’m not going to change it, it can’t be changed and that’s how it will be forever and ever. God is not like that for what the Scriptures say, they are new every morning. His Goodness is new.
He is the God of new revelation day by day. Fresh ideas. and fresh inspirations.
God can give you an idea of the year 2023. if you will not embrace it but use the idea of 1980, you are pretty out as it won’t work.
This entire year, some years back since you were born. You may say, I don’t have any experience with the pandemic and how do you do? You need a fresh idea, a fresh direction from God..you may say, ‘I’m not going to do it like I must do exactly the way it was 50 years back You are just like or will be like a dummy somewhere.
For you to shine, embrace God’s wisdom and speak to God.
The Word of God says if anyone needs wisdom let him ask for it. God, I am set to shine, teach me Lord, I believe in Your wisdom, in Your knowledge. Give me a sharp mind of you, let me understand what is next. Now, if you can have the kind of prayer attitude, then you can shine higher and higher.
God is a good God on a monthly, weekly, daily basis even on an hourly, minutely, and a cond basis, God has a revelation upon revelation for His glory.
Only those who are willing to embrace the revelation of God’s wisdom will shine.
The glory that He created in you has a certain wisdom that must be applied to you to bring that shining forth and that’s what people don’t want to have. Satan is aware that there is glory there, loaded with glory to be so great.
So, Satan wants the person’s mind to be thinking the wrong way. Never to realize the wisdom of God in him or her but never to follow the wisdom of God. He would say, No, No, No, I can’t do that, my policy is different to that, don’t do such things. You don’t know that what God has packaged in you has a certain right time, right date, and aight revelation of the right time.
You just need to embrace it and Shine forth.
You will not miss your shining in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Don’t forget, it is your time to shine and you will shine in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
God bless you greatly.
