Chapter 11

             Here are more verses concerning our destiny. These are things that are destined to take place in our lives. They cover different areas, but they are all important. By now we should be catching hold of the fact that we are special and that we have a special destiny ahead. We should live like it and not like the people of the world who have a bad destiny.

 

 Light:

 

            Sons of light:

 

1 Thessalonians 5:5

5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;

           

            Jesus was called the light of the world. We are His brothers and sisters and have the same Father, so why shouldn’t we be called sons of light and sons of day? Because we are of the light and of the day, we should walk as children of the light and day. We should not be ashamed of our thoughts or actions. They should be a light to those around us to bring them to Christ.

            Those who are of the darkness do not want their deeds exposed. This is happening a lot today in politics. Politicians said or did things in secret that are now being revealed. Unfortunately, it’s also happening to a lot of people who were leaders of Christianity. When people do wrong things and they are not immediately caught, they tend to get bolder and bolder in their wrong doings. What might have been a minor offence will sooner or later turn into a major one.

            We should live our lives as if we expected the entire world to see and hear our every word and deed. Then we would have nothing to be ashamed of.

           

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "There is no darkness in you, My children; for you are the light of the world. The world is in darkness, but you are in the light. Walk as children of the light; of the day; not of the night. For there is a great darkness coming upon the world, but fear not; for you have overcome the world and it lies in the power of the evil one. But you are not of the evil one; for you are of Me and therefore are of the light. This is the light that will guide all men unto Me, if they will allow it to. But you are to not hide your light under the bushel basket; but are to place it in the window of your soul so that others may see and come in unto Me.”

 

            95. I am a child of the light and of the day. I will walk as if all my actions were being viewed by the entire world. I will say, do, and think only those things that bring glory to my Lord and Savior.
