Open Heaven For Teens 6th September 2024 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: Shine Forth
MEMORISER
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14
SCRIPTURE READING
Matthew 5:14-16
To shine forth means to radiate, glow, and make one’s light visible to others. In this dark world, we are to shine forth by bringing hope and joy to those around us.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 As a child of God, it is your good deeds and actions that will draw others to Christ. Thus, you must live like Christ so that you will become a model for others.
This will give you the boldness to preach the gospel like Stephen in Acts 6:8-15 and Acts 7. He was full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. Even at the point of death, he shone and shared the message of Christ with those around him.
Until everyone in your neighborhood, classroom, school, family, and church attest to your good deeds, you are not shining.
KEY POINT
When you behave well and perform good deeds, you shine, but when you behave badly, you dim your light.
