SUSTAIN YOUR SHINE

[source](shutter stock)

A topic I listened to during pastor E.O. Adeboye's Birthday anniversary. I divided to develop it.
Your shine is what you have in you that can make you shine in the sight of people which can bring out the true picture of the one you are serving. [3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation]

You can shine because God is in you. You can shine because God can never let you down. [4:18 But the path of
just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs].

how do we sustain our shine?

• Daily and active consciousness about the coming of Christ.
  Just have it at the back of your mind that Christ is coming and tell that to the whole world. [24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew]

• Excited about occupying the works of the lord
  While doing the work of that one that sent you, always do such work diligently and let it show in you that you are doing the works of the Lord Almighty. Be excited when you see people being converted into God's kingdom. Be excited about winning soul to God.

• Take blame
  Whatever you have done wrong in the sight of God, always take blame and don't divert it to others and also do not complain.

• Constantly introspect [10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians]
  As a righteous, you must learn how to renew your strength when you are falling or when you are week. The evils does renew their wings when they are fading off. So you must be prepared so as not to be caught unaware.

• Learn to give God thanks and all the glory. God is our supreme maker and must be given thanks because he alone has made us who we really are today.
