I AM A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN

03/03/2024

"You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14 NCV).

You are a message from heaven. Jesus said to people during His earthly ministry, "Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father." This statement conveyed that He embodied the Father's revelation, eliminating the need for further seeking. Encountering Jesus meant encountering the Father Himself. This truth extended not only to humanity but to all creation. 

Before Jesus, creation had only heard the voice of God; even Adam experienced God's presence through His voice, not His physical form. However, with Jesus's arrival, humanity and creation encountered God in a new way. Jesus was the manifestation of heaven on earth. John aptly described this by saying, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." Jesus didn't just pay a visit; He fully immersed Himself in humanity. This is a cause for celebration! By becoming human, Jesus enabled humanity to partake in divinity. Thus, every individual who experiences spiritual rebirth becomes a message of power and authority on earth—a symbol of grace and light. 

For this reason, Philippians 2:14-16 urges us: "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain." Notice the phrase "among whom you shine as lights in the world." This illustrates that we exist in the world as heavenly stars, illuminating the paths of those around us.

Thus, we are not just bearers of light; we are light ourselves. Reflecting on Jesus' words in John 9:5, "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world," we understand that in His physical absence, we now carry the mantle as the light of the world. John 1:5 reinforces this truth, stating, "And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]."

Consider this: everything that originates from darkness cannot withstand you. Sickness, failure, poverty, confusion, and the like cannot and will never overpower you. I dare say, regardless of what challenges come your way, your life has already triumphed over them all.

Here's my message to you today: Endeavor to advance; take steps that propel you in your purpose and destiny. You are unstoppable! Even your mistakes cannot halt your journey. The blood of Jesus covers all your shortcomings. God holds nothing against you. Not even the wrongs you committed an hour ago can hinder you. According to 1 John 2:1, provision has been made for all your past, present, and future wrongs. So acknowledge and receive forgiveness in Jesus' name, and let nothing impede your advancement.

Remember, you are a divine message to the world. Ensure that your message resounds loudly today!

It is your month of uncommon favor and fruitfulness.

God bless you!
