The Light Bearer

Light is very important and crucial to everything that has to do with life. There's no life without light. Without light, there is no existence of anything. We can virtually remembered the story of how God first created the earth. Before the earth was formed, it was originally desolate and formless. The first command God gave us that there should be light. Light is a very essential part of living. You can't totally live a free life in darkness. Light illuminates everything around us and give us enlightenment of who and what we are. Suppose you are to meet probably with someone you have never met before and on the first encounter, you couldn't see the person because he was engulfed in darkness, how will you explain or describe his physical features? You can't because you didn't see him in a plain manner.

Whenever there is presence of light there is always an element of truth. That's why people who do bad things always hide under the disguise of darkness to do their bad deeds. You will accept that most robberies and theft are always done in the night because it's a bad deed and those perpetrators need something unclear like darkness to aid their misdeeds. God knows that not much will be accomplished if light is not created first.

With the presence of light around us we come into the consciousness of many things around us. If you wants to deceive someone then you put that person in total darkness, in another words you put that person in total ignorance of what's currently happening. Darkness aids ignorance but light reveals the hidden things. If you hide something in the darkness, a good light that shines brilliantly can disclose the location where you hide what you hid.

WHO IS A LIGHT BEARER?

To be a light bearer means to be a carrier of light, to be someone that carries and expresses the light of God. Spiritually speaking, a light bearer is an established child of God who receive the gospel (the gospel is light) and also carries and expresses the light to others in darkness. A light bearer carry something, a light. There is a personal identification with the source of light which is Jesus Christ. The light of God that a light bearer carries all around is the light of the gospel. When you are a light carrier, the Lord want you to distinguish yourself with the particular message he give to you. God expects you to bring good tidings to wherever you find yourself as a light bearer because light brings happiness to wherever it shines upon. You cannot be sad as a light bearer, joy must be sighted and shown in your life.

One of the things to avoid as a light bearer is evil association, association that is not of God. As a light bearer, you must not have anything to do with the darkness(evils). It's important to stay connected and in a consistent manner to the source of light. Avoiding bad association and involving or associating with Godly people. You must also know your place and location. It's not enough to be a light bearer alone, you must be able to distinguish a d identify the place to which you are called. You must shine the light of God in the very place God has called you to. The light was be shined wherever you find yourself. God's light drives away fear and bring people into self fulfilment and happiness. God deals with light and not darkness since himself is a light. That's why he admonished us in the scripture to flee from all works of the darkness and comes into the light of his kingdom.

Remember that every Christian is a light bearer. Once you accept the good news of Jesus and you are transformed as a result of the good news of Christ, then you are also saddled with the responsibility of carrying the light to other people in the world.
