Souled Out Teenagers Week - Shine BIG (Bright in Glory)

 By Bro. Rilwan Daniel Olunlade 

What does it mean to shine bright in glory? Shining bright in glory is to set yourself aside from others and live in certain characteristics.  


Naturally you will stand out from non-believers, it’s obvious because we have sets of rules to follow and live in light. You start to shine when you show love to others, be thankful, be faithful, and obedient in God.  

You will know you are shining bright when you can separate yourself from someone you know that doesn’t walk with God. Isaiah 60:2 says that darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people. 

This meaning that we live in a world of darkness, when you shine you will be set aside from that. It says the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.  We are created for God’s glory. Our purpose is to glorify God, doing so you will shine. 

Think of yourself as a temple, God lives in us, He shines in us, giving us life. Now that we know how to shine, you are now forced to continue. What I mean by this is to drive on with your faith.   

This point proves that God can chose anybody to use them for His work, by you obeying His word and His commandments you will shine great in glory. Matthew 5:16 says let your light shine before others so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven. 

After reading this you can understand that God wants us as His followers to shine our light through our behavior and deeds so that non-believers become compelled to glorify our Father in heaven. 

In conclusion, if you want to shine you must first surrender yourself to God. When you surrender yourself open up to God’s calling and words. 

As you know now shining is the act of obeying God and doing things in His name so that non-believers see these acts and begin to glorify God. The Lord bless us as we shine and glorify Him, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom
