DIVINE ENABLEMENT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (PART 4)

DIVINE ENABLEMENT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (PART 4)     
TEXT: Acts 10:37-38; Matt. 5:16King James Version (KJV)
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 5:16King James Version (KJV)

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven
When the scripture for today speaks of us being the light of the world it is actually talking about a divine enablement given to us by the Holy Spirit. Verse 16 begins with the word “Let,” this is very important to note as it depicts choice. This obviously tells us that it is a choice to shine, and that choice is ours. If you decide to, your light will so shine that people will see your moral excellence. Some Christians have a battered reputation, their testimony cannot is not strong enough to rebuke sin. Each morning you leave the house, you have packaged a message for your generation. How you dress up, introduces your message. You can dress up in a way that set people on the freeway of carnality. At the end of the day, you have not helped somebody find the glory but unfortunately, you enticed them to come down from the glory. Beloved, this is happening in our midst as Christians. We must always be conscious of the message that we pass to people.
When we step out, we must be dressed to reveal the glory? You can dress nice without taking somebody out of the path of glory. Some so called Christian men love to talk deceitfully to ladies. Some of such ladies become so gullible, believing their lies and so end up heart broken. You can talk nice and sincerely decent without giving somebody false hope. When the glory of God is upon our lives, we will not go with the flesh, instead, we become the light to shine forth the glory of God. Do your best to keep shining for Jesus.
