You are the light of the world.

"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

John 9:5

Jesus was the one who made that declaration when He was still here on earth. But where is he today? The Bible says in Romans 8:34 that Jesus is "even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Now that Jesus is at the right hand of God, who is the light of the world today? It is you and I. Praise God!



In Matthew 5:14, Jesus said to His disciples, "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." Then, in verse 16, He said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Since you are the light of the world as a Christian, you have to take responsibility to see that the light of the gospel spreads throughout Nigeria. You do not have to hold a political office to influence the nation positively. You can change things through prayer. So, have you prayed for Nigeria today?



Pray for the nation everyday instead of complaining. That is one of your responsibilities. When you pray for the nation, pray with all your heart and expect to see that which you have asked manifested in our nation.

After you have prayed for the nation, keep your confessions in line with your prayer. And then begin to practise and live out what you want to see in the nation. Live your life with integrity and truth and let the change begin with you.

In Ephesians 5:8-11(CEV) the Bible says, "You used to be like people living in the dark, but now you are people of the light because you belong to the Lord. So act like people of the light and make your light shine. Be good and honest and truthful, as you try to please the Lord. Don't take part in doing those worthless things that are done in the dark. Instead, show how wrong they are."

Prayer.

Thank you Father for making me the light of the world. I ask that this light would shine into every sphere of society in this nation. May everyone who has been held captive in our nation, from the political leaders to the common man, be liberated in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and may every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Doing the Word.

Please pray and prophesy what you want to see in Nigeria.
