YOU’RE THE LIGHT OF YOUR WORLD

….. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…
(Mathew 28:18-20).
When Jesus said “Go ye therefore, and teach all person going to the entire countries of the world. He meant every man’s world; your immediate sphere of contact. He used the Greek word” ethons”: Go ye therefore, and teach all ethnos.”
Ethnos means” a group,” a company, people of the same nature or gene, a group of people with common trade, characteristics, vision, etc!” It refers to the people in your world of influence; your sphere of contract or interaction! You’re to show them the way!
Light the path for them to see, and live the victorious and glorious life of success that God planned for them to live, because God has made you the light of” ethons”!
As Christian we’re the custodian of his message. We’re the ones authorized and deputized to carry forth His message to those in our world; we’re to show them what he said, and teach them to observe and do his commandments.
By this commission, Jesus has made you a leader, He’s made you light and an example to your world. A leader in this context doesn’t necessarily mean the head of an organization but one who has direction and superior information; one who knows the way, and can provide guidance for other to reach their destinations of success.
This is something every Christian needs to do. You must became the example of God’s kind of life to those in you ethnos” those with whom you’re in the same trade, business, vocation, school or those with whom you live in the same neighborhood or estate. You’re to teach them how to live the higher life of success and victory in Christ Jesus, for God has made you a light and an example to your world.
Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for conferring on me the spiritual responsibility of showing everyone in my world how to live the glorious life of success and victory in Christ Jesus.
I declare that by the power of the Holy Spirit that’s at work in me, I’m providing direction, guidance and inspiration needed for those in my sphere of influence to help them reach their destination of success, in Jesus Name Amen
