In the deep sea dwell many amazing marine animals. One of these is a fish called the “flashlight fish,”. The “flashlight fish”, also called lantern-eye fish, are characterized by the presence of luminescent organs just below the eye. They are among the few species of non-deep-sea fishes to possess such organs.
When it is night, some animals are overcome by the darkness, and so hide in their holes, but other creatures like the flashlight fish, who emit light from their bodies, light up their surroundings.
Other animals, we are familiar with, who also glow in the dark, are creatures like the firefly, whose light flickers in dark nights. They can turn their lights off and on, like a flashlight.
This phenomenon of emitting light is known as bioluminescence. And it occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within the organism’s body.
When these creatures are in the dark, they do not allow themselves to be overcome by the darkness, rather from within, they produce their own light for illumination.
As Christians, though we may dwell in a dark world, we are to light up our environment with the glory of God.. Jesus is the light of the world and when He lives in us, we also become the light of our world.
Light is most effective in dark places. And in today’s world, our light is most needed, because of the gross darkness increasing upon the earth. In these last days every believer has been strategically placed to manifest the glory of God in their environment. You are called to be the light of your world, a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. You are Heaven’s advertisement board of the glory of God upon the earth.
Therefore God sets you up in places of visibility, as candles set upon candlesticks, so that men can see our lights and be drawn into His Kingdom. (Luke 8:16).
If you find yourself in a dark place, such as a difficult family, workplace or neighborhood, you’re not there by accident. You are to shine there with your godly character. Because Jesus let His light shine among sinners, many became believers. Likewise, as we remain consistent witnesses of the Gospel, many lives will be transformed as our light eventually overtake the darkness in them.
2 Corinthians 4:6 says ‘For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”
People are to see the light of God through our lives. Today, through the entrance of God’s Word in our hearts, may His light and glory shine through us to shatter the darkness in the lives of men and draw them into God’s everlasting Kingdom.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always fill my heart with Your Word so that Your light can constantly shine through me to lighten the world around me and draw men into Your Kingdom in Jesus Name. ,
QOUTE;
Illuminate your world for you are a star destined to shine. WORDBITE 222.
Shalom!
