A City Set Upon A Hill Can Not Be Hidden.
Mat 5:14-15 says;
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.
An allegory describing the purpose and intent of the glory, power and influence of the Spirit upon your live.
Today's message will focus on this allegorical statement, with its meaning and significance. The city in question is set on a hill. It wasn't set of its own accord, it must have been set by someone. God has set you upon a hill. Did you realise that the moment you came to Christ, God had already elevated you beyond the elements of this age? Did you realise that your life couldn't ever be described as 'ordinary', why? Because, you were born again with a higher purpose! Separated from the masses to beam forth a light that does two things; shows humanity the way to God, or repels them - not everyone can stand His Light!
God set you apart, to achieve His goal. The Master goes on further to say "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." Men light candles with their finite light, to give light to those in the house. God's light is infinite, to brighten the world! Beloved, STOP hovering over your present circumstances! Have your affections tightly fixed on the things above where Christ is seated in the right hand of his majesty!. Jesus came, ministered for only three years, and the world hasn't remained the same since. Paul was said to have 'filled the world with the doctrine of God'! The Father still uses a single faith-filled believer to change the world.
Through you, God's light will subdue the world; one street at a time, one city at a time, one nation at a time, one country at a time. Before you know it, you would have reached the world for His namesake! Elevate your vision towards the body of Christ and the kingdom of our father. Look from the mountain top!
Bible study: John 8:28-59.
