DIVINE ENABLEMENT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (PART 3)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Matthew 5:14-16King James Version (KJV)
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
From our text for today, Jesus speaking to his disciples makes us to understand that we are the light of the world, a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. He did not say you are a light of the world, but that “you are the light of the world.” It means you are the hope of the world (Col. 1:27), so, you should dispel darkness wherever you go. You cannot have the light and put it under a bushel but rather you put it on a candle stand to give light to all. If you are the light of the world, anyone in darkness around you should have direction because of you. If you claim to be the light of the world and people around you are comfortable in sin, beloved, you are not the light Jesus is talking about. Because John chapter one says, the light shines in darkness and darkness cannot comprehend it. So, there should be a clear difference between you and unbelievers.
When there is a problem and this light shows up, there is immediate solution, when there is confusion and this light shows up there is clarity and direction. Your presence anywhere; be it at home or work, should be the answer to set people free from harassment and oppression. The light we carry is the divine enablement of the Holy Spirit.
