PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 5:14-16
[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.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Light is an important element created by God and it’s one of the essential in life. It was created at every beginning of the world. The Bible says in Genesis 1:2-3, that though darkness came forth first but this was not what God wanted in existence.
God did not allow this to exist, He then spoke what was in his mind and that was light, then light came into existence, till this presence moment this light never goes off.
Also, Jesus calls the believers in him “the light of the world” according to our today’s Bible text. The question is, are we really shinning the light in the dark world?
TEXT REVIEW: MATTHEW 5:14-16
i. We are the light of the world.
ii. We should let our light shine, so that our good works can be spread.
LESSON OUTLINE
THE CALLED OUT.
As we discussed above, God called forth the light we are enjoying today out of darkness. More so, 1Peter 2:9 tells us that God has called all Christians out of darkness into His marvelous light. The way God spoke and the light came to be. He has called us light, so we are to shine this light in the world.
SHINE THE LIGHT
Isaiah 60:1says ” Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee”. We are to arise to arise and shine forth the light that is already been deposited in us without any further delay. Because the more we hide or refuse to shine this light the more darkness progresses or expands.
WHERE SHOULD WE SHINE THE LIGHT?
1. In our place of work.
2. 2. In our business places.
3. 3. In our neighbourhood.
4. 4. In the entire world. Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-18
ACTIVITY: How do we shine the light into the world?
SUMMARY: We are the light of the world.
CONCLUSION: “LET THERE BE LIGHT” is a command not an advice. Also, this is a heart I deposited in you the day you accepted me as your Lord and Saviour. please don’t hide your light any longer.
