The Word
Matthew 5:14-16
Ye are the
salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be
salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be
trodden under foot of men.
Ye are the
light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 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.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Isaiah 60:1-3
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is
risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness
the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen
upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising.
Psalm 18:28-39
For thou wilt
light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by thee I have
run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. As
for God, his way is
perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girdeth me with
strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high
places. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine
arms.
Thou hast also
given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and
thy gentleness hath made me great.
Thou hast
enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. I have pursued mine enemies,
and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. I have
wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
For thou hast
girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that
rose up against me.
Vision statement
To equip Christians to shine and keep shinning as light at
the work place and in all areas of life by the strength that God provides.
Our message
Ø
The light
‘In him was life; and the life was the light
of men.’ John 1:4
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.’ V9
Christ is the light, we are only reflectors of the light. The word of
God reveals Christ to us and doing the word makes us reflect Christ to our
world. The more we allow Christ, he more we will shine.
Ø
Strength
of the spirit
It is God that
girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. Isa 18:32
For thou hast
girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that
rose up against me. Isa 18:39
Success in the world for a Christian can
only be gotten by the strength that God provides. This strength is generated in
the place of prayer. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes
tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
James 5:16B (Amp)
Ø
Equipping
He teacheth my
hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Isa 18:34.
The Christian needs to be equipped and
trained for the task ahead. God uses situations and circumstances to equip;
Education both formal and informal are also necessary trainings; reading and
attending seminars all make the Christian better able to shine the light for
others to follow.
Ø
Graceful
labour
But by the
grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I
laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which
was with me. 1 Cor 15:10
Grace is not a license to laziness or an
excuse for works of unrighteousness. Grace empowers to fruitful labour. Labour
existed before the fall of Adam and is still relevant today. Burning the night
candle and applying oneself to the work God has committed to your hand is a
basic component for shining as light.
