Rhapsody Of Realities 31 December 2025 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Your Light Must Shine

TOPIC: Your Light Must Shine (Rhapsody of Realities 31 December 2025)

Ye are the light of the world… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:14,16).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

Light is that which describes; it gives direction. Light doesn’t argue with darkness; it simply shines and dispels darkness. You’re the light of the world; that means your presence in any environment dispels darkness and brings enlightenment. It brings guidance and reveals truth.

Your life as a Christian is meant to expose deception, bring hope, and illuminate the path of righteousness for others. God expects His glory in you to radiate through every part of your daily living. He wants His life and righteousness to be visible through your words, your conduct, your love-walk, and through your witnessing.

Notice again the profundity of the Master’s statement about you: “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

Refuse to be a hidden Christian. Let your faith speak. Let your compassion lead. Let your words, actions and outlook on life reflect your convictions about Christ and His glorious Gospel. Even those who are yet to read the Bible should read Christ in you, for you’re His Epistle (2 Corinthians 3:3). You’re the effulgence of His glory.

Therefore, illuminate your world, your environment and the lives of those around you with the life and light of Christ that’s in you. Isaiah 60:1 declares, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.” This isn’t optional; it’s a divine mandate. God has made you a burning and a shining light. So light up your world with the Gospel of His truth, righteousness and grace. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for making me the light of the world. I shine brightly in my world today, illuminating lives with your love, truth and grace. My light draws men to Christ and glorifies you always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Philippians 2:14-15 (NLT); Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

Isaiah 60:1-3 (KJV); Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Ephesians 5:8 (KJV); For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

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.
