ATTRACTIVE TO KINGS AND THE MIGHTY
By Pastor Ayo-Simeon Agbelusi
The Christian life is no ordinary life. It is a divine reflection of the character and nature of Jesus Christ. There is a beauty and glory that flow from dwelling in God’s presence—one that naturally reveals His radiant personality to the world. This is why, despite all the troubles surrounding Jerusalem, the command was clear: Arise and shine, for God’s glory was already breaking forth upon them.
“All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see the glory of the Lord upon you.” Isaiah 60:3 (TLB)
Beloved, you cannot experience the beauty behind the veil until you choose to rise and shine. Your life is already loaded with the glory of God. If it were not so, He would not have commanded you to shine. Refuse to dwell on your present limitations, weaknesses, or challenges. Instead, focus on the glory of His presence that rests upon you.
When you rise to reveal God to your generation, your light becomes irresistible. It will not only shine with beauty—it will attract kings, nobles, and the mighty in your land. The nations are groaning under burdens of darkness and confusion, longing for answers that bring joy and lasting peace. You are called to be that channel through which many will see the light of God in this generation.
Prayer: Father, thank You for shining Your glorious light into my life. Help me to rise now and shine Your light to everyone walking in darkness around me and to the nations of the world. Amen.
