God is calling every believer 2 arise and shine.You can shine like d sun by burning a bit of yourself bit by bit through giving.You can also shine like the moon.How? The moon receives light 4rm d sun nd reflects it 2 d world.Shortly before His ascension,d Lord gave an instruction to His disciples in Mark 16:15-18.He was simply asking them to go in His name,take d light from Him and reflect it 2 d world.You need to reflect His light bcus of d gross darkness dat will cover d earth.One characteristics of light is dat it attracts all kinds of things,both good and bad.If u turn on a light bulb in the midst of the night,it will attract different kinds of insects.Just as light attracts good things,so does it also attracts bad,ugly and evil things.In effect,the moment your church begins to grow or to achieve for God,get ready for those who will want to pull it down.Someone once said there are witches in The Redeemed Christian Church of God and I told him there are many of them.Some of them may even be among workers,choir,wives of ministers and pastors.I also added that the church is God's hospital and in every good hospital,you will have the worst or most challenging cases.However,light also attracts kings,princes and nobles and you need these in your church.Do you know that we are yet to have the best of singers,instrumentalist,prayer champions,ushers and ministers? Do you know that those who may be used of God to take your church to the next level are yet in the world as unconverted souls? If your light does not attract them,what a disservice that would be to the body of Christ! Some sisters are praying for husbands meanwhile God's right choice for them may still be 'enjoying' the world.It is when we reach out to these that such prayers may be answered.In the same vein,some helpers that God will use in taking you to your next level might still be unsaved.The more souls are saved,the greater our chances of accessing such potential brethren.
