Mathew 5:16 ‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.’

DAILY READING; • Matthew 25:1-30; Numbers 30-31; Job 1

James O. Fraser was the pioneer missionary to the Lisu people in China. He was born in London and by the time he was 20 years, he enjoyed a promising future and became an honors student in engineering.
But his life changed drastically when a fellow student gave him a small booklet that stated that more than half the people in the world had not yet heard the gospel.
James Fraser was so touched that he turned his back on his lucrative career in engineering. He also gave up the possibility of success as an accomplished concert pianist and applied to the China Inland Mission to become a missionary. In 1908, he was commissioned and he sailed for China.
Arriving in China at age 22, Fraser devoted his life to preaching to the unreached Lisu people. Fraser saw many hardships, often having only meager food. He also found it difficult winning converts. However, six years after he reached China, the breakthrough came; 600 Lisu people turned from their idol worship and followed Jesus Christ.
Fraser is remembered as one of the most successful Christian missionaries in East Asia of modern times. Through his ministry almost half of the entire Lisu people abandoned their worship of ancestor spirits and have become Christians.

It is indeed amazing how God can use a man who is willing to bring changes to a nation. The truth is that God has called us to shine as lights in our dark world.
Especially today, there is a need for the light of the Gospel to shine through us relentlessly into the increasing darkness in the world. We are all called to pay the required price to make the difference in the lives of people.
Jesus said no one lights a candle and hides it under a bushel, but sets it up to give light to all that are in the house.
Our lights are not to be hidden at this time. In whatever house we are, our lights are meant to give light to all that are in that environment. .
Let us therefore go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. As the Father sent Jesus, so have we been sent to our world. Today, we are the manifest form of Jesus that men see. We are the ambassadors of Heaven, positioned in our various fields of endeavor to positively affect our nation and generation. We must look beyond our immediate occupation to the divine call and assignment before us. God is going to use us as battles axes to root out and to build up and make a huge difference in the world.
Everywhere we go, the atmosphere should shift. Lives are to be changed and destinies recovered.
Indeed we are God’s agents on earth in these end-times to bring men into alignment with His will. We are called to be light bearers to combat the darkness in this generation.
Let us therefore not keep quiet or act as secret Christians. Let us proclaim the Gospel with boldness and power wherever we go. Let us keep shining our lights to help people find their way out of the darkness to embrace the light of Christ.

PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to pay the required price of spiritual preparation, so as to be used by You to preach the Gospel wherever I go. Thank You Lord, for indeed manifesting Your power mightily through me in this generation in Jesus Name.
