*LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.*(Series 8) *Scripture Reading:* Colossians 4:6 *"Let your speech at all times be gracious and pleasant, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how to answer each one [who questions you]."* *7) Be careful of what you say:* Our words to others in one way or another really tell of whom we are. You can be easily judge by your utterances either knowingly or unknowingly. Apostle Paul admonish the beloved in Colossians to be mindful of what they say to others because it will define the kind of light they claim to have. To let your light shine, believers must be careful of what they say. Words are powerful and can be used for good or bad. *If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. The purpose of our conversation is to build people up, to make them better people.* You must be very careful of what you say if you want your light to shine. Ecclesiastes 10:12 says; *"The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious and win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him;"*(AMP). Let every words from your mouth produces Grace and it then releases favor and blessings of all kinds. There's need for you to check if: 1) INDEED YOU ARE A LIGHT : *"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven."*(Matt 5:16 AMP). You can't be light and at the same time represent darkness. Is either you're light or darkness. *You maybe a fervent church goer and still surrounded with darkness.* CHECK YOURSELF. To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful Friday, peace. *Prayer point:* Let my utterances be a true proof of whom Christ is and let the light in me manifest greatly in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S.
