Topic: The Restorative Power Of Light [June 29, 2018]
Scripture: Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? Luke 15:8
Thought For The Day: Missing things are restored in the presence of light.
It has been confirmed that one reason God created you is so you can be light to your generation (Matthew 5:14-16). All the identifiable attributes and benefits of light are the profits we were created by God to add to our generation as children of God.
Yesterday, we saw that light is critical to generational transformation.
Today, it is very important to add that light is critical for generational restoration. Anywhere something is missing, all you need to do is light the place. Our anchor Scripture reveals a woman who recovered her lost coin because she lit her candle.
So, light equals restoration, wherever light is available, things are not permitted to be missing. Missing things are restored in the presence of light. Light equals generational restoration. So, when you appear in a place, the things missing in people’s life should be found – someone whose joy, peace, favour, health, vision and direction were lost should be found because of your presence.
One of the worst things that can happen to anyone is to be the reason for losses in the lives of people; that is, people lose their joy or peace as soon as you appear. It is a tragedy to live a life where things are subtracted from peoples’ lives because of their encounter with you. When you live like this, you become a burden, concern, liability or minus factor. There are people who are plus factors because they add something positive to your life. You are designed as well to be a plus factor in your class, a plus factor to your family and neighbourhood.
My counsel is, let people feel the impact of your existence; decide to handle the challenges of your neighbourhood or community even if no one cares or does anything about them. Take your position as the leading light of your generation; let your excellent life rebuke the average existence of people, and you will see God do great things through you.
Remember this: Missing things are restored in the presence of light.
