HOW DO YOU SHINE?

TEXT: Matthew 5: 13-16.

INTRODUCTION:

There is no other better time for you to shine than now. Light shines more in the midst of darkness, the presence of light brings joy to the environment, the glory of God has risen upon you, and light keeps darkness far away. But then, the question is how do you shine?

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO SHINE?

(i) Keep connected to your source of supply.

Every light that shines has a source. If it is cut off from the source, it cannot shine. Jn.15: 4-5; 1Sam.16: 14; 1Sam.17: 11.

(ii) Constantly doing good works. Matt.5: 16; Acts.9: 36-40; Eph.2: 10; Col.1: 10; 1Tim.5: 10.

(iii) Keep renewing your lamp. Daily looking at yourself in the mirror of the word of God helps you to wake up. Matt.25: 1-11; Rom.12: 1-2
