John 9:5 NKJV
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 9:5 NKJV
Jesus spoke about the urgency of finishing His mission here on earth. He said while it is still day, He needs to work towards accomplishing His mission.
Jesus mentioned as long as He is in the world and this means exactly that.
As long as He is in the world, He needs to be the light to the world.
The assignment as a light into the world is an absolute plan of God that does not need confirmation from a prophet or leader of the church or even trying to wait for God to tell.
These are absolutes about His assignment. He does not need to wait any longer. As long He is still in this world, He is to be the light to the world.
Jesus said that we His children are the light of the world. Every born again believer is a light to this world.
One of the many assignments over our lives is that we are to be that light of Jesus in the world.
We don't have to pray about it, we don't have to wait on God for it and we don't need to wait for an inner conviction to be the light into the world.
These are God's directional word for us as long as we are living here on earth. The expiry date for this assignment is when we breathe our last breath here on earth.
We are not saved to be the light in heaven. Our Father in Heaven, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the light that shines for all to enjoy for eternity.
Us, being the light is only for use here on earth.
It is for us to be the light to the world as Jesus was.
To be the hands of Jesus to heal, comfort, restore and revive.
To be the feet of Jesus that will go and reach the lost.
To be the light to the lost sheep to bring them back to Our Father.
We must not be deceived by not going out to be the light because we are waiting for God to tell us or to lead us.
God will show and give the right word to speak.
God gives the word of knowledge, prophecy and healing when we take the first step of faith to be the light in the world.
Let us be the light as long we are still here on earth.
