Rhapsody of Realities September 10 2023 written by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome And Today’s Message is
You are the Light – Personalise It
Our opening scripture comes from the book of John 12:36 and it says:While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them
Remember the words of Jesus in Mathew 5:14.”Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” The world is in darkness, but you’re the light of the world. In John 8:12, Jesus said, “..I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
He also said in John 9:5, “As long as Iam in the world, Iam the light of the world.” Remember Jesus has ascended to heaven; therefore, we’re now the light of the world because we live in His stead; He lives in us and reigns through us.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 says, “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” Being children of light m e a n s we’re light. You might say, “Pastor Chris, isn’t that a conjecture?” Read Paul’s beautiful revelation in
Ephesians 5:8; it says, “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.”
Notice that it says we used to be darkness, but now we are light in the Lord. Blessed be God. As long as you’re in this world, you’re the light of the world. This should be your declaration! As long as you’re in that family, that school, town, community, city, or that region, you are the light! You have to personalize it.
CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank you that I am the light of the world, illuminating, enlightening, revealing and manifesting the glory, manifold graces, beauties and perfection of divinity to my city, state, nation and region. I’m a city set on a hill that can’t be hidden. I’m making the Name of the Lord Jesus known and bringing men and women into righteousness. Amen..

Do all things without murmurings and disputings:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Matthew 5:14-16
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 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. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
