Isaiah - 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 60:2 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. 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
60:1- Arise, shine; for your light has come: After the thick and desperate darkness, this is the glorious rescue from the Redeemer. Light has come – so God tells His people to respond to it, and to arise and shine.
Darkness is for lying down; light is for rising up. Darkness is for gloom and sleep; light is for shining. When the light has come, we must respond, and arise, shine.
First we receive God’s light (your light has come), and then we have a service to perform (arise, shine). You can’t shine until your light has come, but once it has come, there is something wrong if you don’t arise and shine. Isaiah 59:9-10
Today we’re living in darkness. We are using our mobile phones for wrong doings, today youngsters ,adults are addicted to pornography, some are being stoned, which is taking us towards darkness. Coming out from this darkness will help you to arise and shine in the name of Jesus.
60:2- And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you: This is no earthly light; this is light that emanates from the glory of the Lord. This is like the light of Jesus in the Transfiguration, when His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. Sometimes harsh, bright light can be disturbing or uncomfortable – but not this warm, wonderful light that pulsates from the glory of the Lord. Matthew 17:2
Many will change themselves now with this message, and that is good but, till when?
Earth revolves around the Sun. Jesus shines like sun and we (earth) have to revolve around, we have to come out of our closed houses to see the shining of our Lord. Sun rays will only come inside your house when the windows will be open or when you’ll go yourself out to see the rays. Come out of your comfort zones for getting the brightness of Lord.
60:3- Gentiles shall come to your light: When the Lord lifts up His glorious light over Israel, the Gentile nations shall see it and be attracted to the light. Even kings will be attracted to the brightness of Israel’s rising. This will be ultimately fulfilled in the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus when Israel is lifted up among all nations.
When you shine, people are attracted towards you, they get desperate to know what actually you’re doing that you shine so bright. An example of this is, a class of 60 students and 1 is topper and teacher’s favourite. Now rest of the class always wants to like that student because they also want to be teachers favourite student, your classmates come to you to ask what you do.
Being anointed and still doing wrong, wrong doesn’t mean only to watch bad things, and being stoned but also it includes the bad words you use for others, disrespecting your elders, worshiping others, blaming, lying, cheating, cursing others, etc.
Lord has come, stop sinning, be sorry for whatever you've done wrong. Still you've time to get up, till the time the groom (JESUS) is not coming. When the groom will come the time will be over. He sent His anointing to heal you and to let you heal others in his name. Don't think that if you're anointed you can do anything. NO, NO, NO, when you're anointed you don't do wrong. Remember, he said, JOHN 1:1 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning."
And now he is sitting right side of GOD, from where he'll choose you.
When you’re anointed, you do miracles in Jesus name, you give Glory to God.
Today we will pray, we’ll pray for ourselves and for others.
