"LIVING A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE OF LIGHT"

There is a big difference between a churchgoer and a son of God...look at the difference with this scripture..."Luke 2;48-50..."And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? And they understood not the saying which he spoke unto them." The difference between Jesus and His parents is they came to the festival in Jerusalem, as a ritual to fulfill their responsibilities, according to Moses law. But Jesus had a greater purpose. He understood that it is not only about attending church services, but it is to fulfill a Godly purpose. A churchgoer attends service as a means to an end. A son of God knows that he or she is called to a higher purpose that sends him or her to the world. When God said.."Let there be light." it was to counter the darkness that covered the deep. When Jesus came to the earth, as the light of men, He not only came for the Jews, He came for all men. Therefore, the son of God knows that his or her calling to let the light of God shine wherever they go. The light must not only shine in church but in the outer world where darkness still resides in the hearts of men. Many people love to hide behind the four walls of their assemblies, where they can just occupy a chair until Jesus returns. Even if they go out to evangelize, they do it not as light but to represent their denomination. But the son of God lives with one purpose in mind and that is to fulfill his or her role as custodians of the entire earth, in accordance with the first ever covenant in Genesis 1:26. In the image of the Creator, we are called to represent the light of God to the world. Church is essential but we are not called to live there. If light is to be perfected, then all darkness must be eliminated. Unless we feel that darkness exists in church, we must go to the darkness of the world. We must target the hearts of men for there is where gross darkness resides..."Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you thee. 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..Isaiah 60:1-2.
