"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 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. (Matt. 5: 14-15 NKJV)
Our society today is in desperate need of role models who can correct some of the ills of the society; role models who can uphold a new value system that is built on integrity and truth. The Bible says that we are such role models in Matt. 5:14-15. We are to give light to all who are around us. We are to show them how to live.
A Christian should always be such a person that wherever he’s found, he will be the reference for incorruptibility. To be the light of the world is to be a trail-blazer, a pace-setter and an agent of positive change. The world is waiting for us to eradicate corruption, to start doing what we say.
For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth." (Acts 13:47 NKJV)
We are sent as light bearers to the world, to bring salvation and deliverance from every works of darkness.
There’s so much we can do to bring about change and give direction to those who are lost. The role of living exemplary lives is not exclusive to leaders. You can be a person of influence at your own level.
Your style may not seem to be the popular way but never mind, keep doing the right thing. God will reward you and in due time, people will come to you for guidance.
Prayer Point:
Lord, please give me the grace to be a true role model that will bring glory to Your holy name
