Title: True Lights
Memorize: Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. Genesis 1:16 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Matthew 5:14-16 (Nkjv)
[14] You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
[15] Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Message:
God created different degrees of light. He Himself came to the earth as the Light of the world (John 9:5) and gave us a part of Himself to shine as light. When we held our first convention at the first auditorium in Redemption City with a crowd of over 1,000 people, I thought we had a large congregation. Years later, I attended Kenneth Hagin’s camp meeting in the United States of America and saw hundreds of thousands of people. Immediately, my prayer point changed. Much later, I attended Dr. Yonggi Cho’s church in South Korea, and I saw that they held seven services every Sunday and appealed to those who came in a particular week not to come the following week so that those who couldn’t attend that week could come the next week. After seeing this, I became hungry for even more and I prayed, “Lord, let me shine as a true light to the whole world, so that millions will come to Jesus through me.” This is the primary reason I keep evangelizing and organizing outreaches at 82.
My dear child, many people have not heard about Jesus in many parts of the world, and you can reach them through the internet. Compose a salvation message today and post it online.
Key Point:
Are you shining your light and leading others to Christ?
HYMN 9 – DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
CHORUS
O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed, Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word.
2. Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will.
3. Deeper, deeper! tho’ it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.
4. Deeper, higher ev’ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
