WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO SHINE?

Matthew_5-16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

Isaiah_60-1: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee

TEXT: Matthew 5: 13-16.

 
INTRODUCTION:

If light refuses to shine, it ceases to carry out the original purpose for which it is meant. If light cannot shine again, it becomes irrelevant and useless.

 
BENEFITS OF SHINING

 
i. Your life affects others regularly and positively as you keep shining. Col.4: 5-6; Isa.60: 3; Phil.2: 15.

 
ii. You become a terror to the kingdom of darkness. e.g. Elijah, Elisha, Paul etc. Eph.5: 8-14.

 
iii. Boldness becomes a life style. Light is not afraid of darkness. Fear is associated with darkness. Prov.28: 1; Acts.4: 13; Acts.19: 8; 2Tim.1: 7

 
DANGER OF NOT SHINING

 
i. Backsliding. Matt.26: 58-74; 2Tim.4: 10

 
ii. Spiritual and physical death. Saul’s light became darkness because of disobedience. 1Sam.28: 3-7, Samson experienced spiritual death and later physical death. Judges 16: 20-30.

 
CONCLUSION:

Do not allow your light to go out as it may never be regained.

Thank You Jesus.
