We
want
to
look
at
something
that
I
believe
is
going
to
help
us
as
a
people
,
is
going
to
strengthen
us
,
is
going
to
give
us
direction

We

to
consider

We
39

be
discovering
the
secret

with
this

in

Previously
,
we
looked
at
, <
strong

Light
as
a
Navigational
Tool
into
Destiny
Fulfillment
strong

But
now
,
we
will
not
see
light
as
a
tool
,
we
want
to
understand
the
responsibility
of
light
.
And
by
the
grace
of
God
,
we
will
also
discover
what
the
authority
of
light
is
.
And
I
don
39
;
t
want
us
to
fixate
our
minds
on
the
bulbs
that
we
can
see
all
around
me
here
.
The
things
we
are
dealing
with
is
beyond
what
we
can
see
.
Even
though
it
is
not
beyond
what
people
can
see
,
but
is
beyond
what
we
can
see
here
.

In
the
beginning
,
God
created
the
heavens
and
the
earth
.
2
The
earth
was
without
form
,
and
void
.
And
darkness
was
on
the
face
of
the
deep
.
And
the
Spirit
of
God
was
hovering
over
the
face
of
the
waters

We
are
looking
at
the
responsibility
and
the
authority
of
light
.
If
I
ask
any
one
of
us
today
,
if
there
are
two
things
available
,
one
is
a
responsibility
,
the
other
one
is
an
authority
,
which
one
would
you
pick
?
Authority
!

So
,
authority
is
more
attractive
,
authority
is
something
that
anyone
will
want
to
pick
.
But
as
God
would
have
it
,
authority
does
not
just
come
.
Authority
does
not
stand
alone
.
Authority
cannot
suddenly
appear
.
If
there
will
come
an
authority
,
there
must
have
been
a
responsibility
.
So
,
usually
even
though
we
love
authority
,
if
we
will
ever
experience
it
,
it
is
because
we
have
accepted
responsibility
,
and
we
have
held
that
responsibility
enough
to
command
authority
.

Now
,
let
39
;
s
quickly
look
at
Genesis
chapter
1
,
from
verse
1
to
verse
3
,
especially
verse
2
.
It
says
, <
strong
><
em
>
the
earth
was
without
form
,
and
void
.
And
darkness
was
on
the
face
of
the
deep
.
And
the
Spirit
of
God
was
hovering
over
the
face
of
the
waters
.
Then
God
said
, &
ldquo
;
Let
there
be
light
,&
rdquo
;
and
there
was
light
em
>
strong
>.
In
this
instance
,
at
this
moment
,
none
of
us
can
look
at
light
and
say
,
light
has
authority
.
When
God
says
,
let
there
be
light
,
God
didn
&
rsquo
;
t
say
let
there
be
authority
for
light
.
God
only
said
,
let
there
be
light
.
The
question
is
,
what
will
light
be
for
?
Will
light
be
for
a
fun
,
or
for
a
function
?

Now
,
if
light
is
for
a
function
that
means
the
light
is
for
a
responsibility
.
If
light
is
for
a
function
,
that
means
there
are
things
or
at
least
one
thing
that
the
light
is
meant
to
be
there
for
.
Now
,
as
I
39
;
m
standing
before
us
now
,
I
am
holding
a
small
mic
.
And
then
I
have
this
pulpit
in
front
of
me
that
is
able
to
handle
the
Bible
and
the
notes
.
So
,
if
you
say
,
let
there
be
a
pulpit
before
Brother
Gboyega
.
And
you
say
,
Let
there
be
a
mic
in
his
hand
,
are
you
giving
authority
to
these
things
or
you
are
giving
responsibility
to
them
?
Responsibility

So
,
let
39
;
s
say
a
million
people
get
to
watch
this
video
online
.
A
million
people
!
And
then
they
see
this
pulpit
.
Now
,
what
will
happen
is
,
assuming
this
pulpit
has
an
inscription
on
it
that
shows
its
name
.
So
,
a
million
people
have
seen
its
name
,
what
has
happened
?
The
pulpit
has
become
known
to
a
million
people
;
that
pulpit
has
become
famous
.
But
the
fame
didn
39
;
t
just
appear
.
It
was
responsibility
first
.
What
was
the
responsibility
?
To
carry
this
Bible
and
to
carry
the
notes
!
These
are
not
easy
things
.
Do
we
think
they
are
easy
?
Who
will
want
to
hold
his
or
her
hand
up
,
and
say
, &
ldquo
;
put
the
Bible
throughout
one
hour
,
and
then
I
will
hold
it
,&
rdquo
;
it
will
be
painful
.
See
what
the
mic
is
doing
.
No
matter
the
fame
that
will
come
to
this
mic
in
days
and
years
to
come
,
it
all
began
by
being
useful
first
;
accepting
responsibility
.

Imagine
that
I
put
on
this
mic
earlier
before
I
came
here
,
and
the
mic
didn
39
;
t
turn
up
,
will
I
hold
a
mic
that
is
not
working
in
front
of
us
?
So
,
if
there
will
ever
be
authority
,
a
man
or
a
thing
must
have
accepted
responsibility
earlier
.
So
,
we
are
looking
at
the
responsibility
and
the
authority
of
light
.
Indirectly
,
we
are
saying
,
we
are
looking
at
how
light
began
to
become
useful
.
We
are
looking
at
how
light
accepted
responsibility
.
How
light
became
a
thing
of
blessing
,
a
thing
of
joy
,
to
the
point
that
everyone
cannot
do
without
it
,
and
hence
everyone
talks
about
it
.

So
now
let

go
on

I
still
want
us
to
check
a
few
verses
in
that
chapter

Let
39

s
check
Genesis
chapter
1
,
from
verse
14

Now
see
what
the
Bible
says
, <

Then
God
said
,
Let

Initially
in
Genesis

1
verse

,
God
said
let

Do
we

One
light

Going
forward
,
God
said
, <

Only
God
knows
the
number

they
could
be
a
thousand
,
they
could
be
ten
,
they
could
be
a
million
;
they
could
be
billions

God
said
, <

Let
there
be
lights
in
the
firmament
of
the
heavens
to
divide
the
day
from

and
let

be

So
,
every
time
people
want
to
see
a
sign

they

a

they

And

And
it
was
so
then
God
em

made
two
great
lights
,
the
greater
light

rule
the
day

the
night

He

Initially
,
the
Bible
says
God
made
lights
.
Plenty
!
Then
later
the
Bible
says
,
And
God
made
two
great
lights
,
two
great
lights
!
The
Bible
says
,
one
to
rule
the
day
,
and
the
other
one
to
rule
the
night
.
Something
becomes
obvious
to
all
of
us
here
.
Lights
are
not
for
fun
.
A
light
is
not
a
mere
entity
.
A
light
is
expected
to
be
a
ruling
entity
.
In
fact
,
God
created
two
.
Assuming
they
were
one
million
,
God
would
have
said
, &
ldquo
;
number
one
hundred
and
something
,
something
thousand
,
you
shall
rule
this
thing
.
Number
one
point
something
,
you
shall
rule
&
hellip
;,&
rdquo
;
God
would
have
mentioned
them
in
their
numbers
and
assigned
rulership
to
each
one
of
them
.
So
,
we
must
settle
that
at
the
back
of
our
minds
,
that
lights
are
not
mere
entities
,
lights
are
ruling
creatures
of
God
.

He

Now
let
39

Now
,
let
39

s
take
it
further
. <

Let
us
make
man

image

God
didn
39

t
just
stop
creating
stars
also
,
and
different
kinds
of
lights

God
didn

t

authority

God
went
ahead
to

let

And
let
this
man

the
manner
of
the
light
that
I
had
created
earlier

Let
them
also
rule

But
God
didn
39

t
just
use
the
word
,
rule

God
used
the
word
, <

If

So

when

God
was
saying
let

So
,
as
those
two
great
lights
have
dominion

God
also
says
,
let

If

So
,
God
sets
the
light
in
the
firmament
of
the
heavens
;
when
we
talk
about
firmament
,
we
are
talking
about
the

So
,
God
puts
light
in

and
God

so
that
they

Indirectly

they

They

they

further
also
,
God
said

Let

that

going

set

man

When

Let

there

the

He

light

What
happens

Darkness

the
enemies

Now
,
the
reason
why
we
have
this

read

that
darkness
did
not

is
because
darkness
attempted

overcome

Darkness
attempted

You

for
every
light
that
shines
,
there
is
always
the
place

darkness
to
contend
with
that
light
.
The
only
enemy
,
not
the
greatest
,
the
only
enemy
of
light
is
darkness
.
Darkness
is
both
a
situation
and
a
personality

Darkness
is
the
absence
of
light
,
and
it
is
the
person
of
the

See
,
this
statement
in
verse
9
was
mentioned
first
in
verse
4
.
And
if
two
things
are
coming
in
the
same
chapter
,
similar
things
,
then
there
is
something
we
must
learn
from
it
.
Verse
4
says
, <
strong

em

In
Him
was
life
and
the
life
was
the
light
of
men
,
em

strong

so
men
need
light
.
That
life
that
was
in
Him
is
the
light
of
the
men
.
Every
time
men
are
looking
for
light
,
they
look
at
the
life
that
is
in
Him
.
Then
they
get
light
.
Then
in
verse
9
,
the
Bible
says
, <
strong

em

He
is
the
one
that
gives
light
to

I
begin
to
see
a
situation
where
somebody
says
,
I
was
born
in
the
village
.
Even
if
I
have
to
die
in
the
village
,
I
want
to
be
known
everywhere
in
the
world
.
I
imagine
somebody
saying
,
when
I
was
born
,
I
was
born
very
poor
.
I
didn
39
;
t
know
anything
.
I
was
born
without
this
.
I
was
born
without
that
.
But
my
desire
is
to
be
very
great
.
I
want
my
name
to
spread
.
When
people
hear
my
name
,
I
want
them
to
say
,
there
is
a
God
in
that
man
39
;
s
life
.
So
,
you
are
thinking
you
are
nobody
.
But
somehow
,
let
me
use
another
word
,
you
want
to
invade
the
world
.
You
want
to
influence
the
world
.
Don
39
;
t
forget
,
we
are
unveiling
the
secret
of
influence
.
You
want
to
change
the
world
,
you
want
to
alter
the
dimension
or
the
arrangement
of
things
in
the
world
.
In
fact
,
you
want
to
turn
the
world
upside
down
.
You
don
39
;
t
want
to
be
worldly
but
you
have
this
world
-
impart
,
world
-
invasion
mindset
,
then
you
need
the
light
that
overcomes
the
world
.

The
Bible
says
,
everyone
that
comes
into
the
world
needs
the
light
.
And
I
want
us
to
understand
from
that
,
that
another
way
we
can
put
it
is
,
anyone
that
wants
to
win
the
world
,
the
Bible
says
,
God
said
,
let
us
make
man
and
let
them
have
dominion
.
The
dominion
is
not
in
the
heavens
.
God
didn
&
rsquo
;
t
say
,
let
man
rule
in
the
heavens
,
no
!
God
gave
dominion
over
the
world
to
man
.
All
the
things
that
God
mentioned
,
the
fish
of
the
sea
,
the
birds
of
the
air
,
the
things
that
creep
,
the
cattle
on
the
earth
,
all
of
that
summarizes
the
world
.
The
dominion
over
the
world
has
been
given
to
man
.
And
if
you
want
to
rule
your
world
as
it
were
,
then
you
need
Jesus
,
you
need
God
to
impart
you
.

The
Bible
says
,
in
Him
;
in
the
Word
is
life
.
And
that
life
that
is
in
Him
is
the
light
of
all
men
.
And
the
light
shines
so
much
in
the
darkness
.
The
light
did
not
shine
so
much
in
the
light
.
The
light
is
not
shining
so
much
in
heavens
.
The
light
comes
to
the
world
to
shine
.
You
know
,
we
have
a
situation
where
we
want
to
get
out
of
the
world
,
and
shine
in
the
church
or
shine
in
heaven
.
But
our
shining
is
supposed
to
really
be
on
the
earth
,
in
the
world
.
A
man
who
wants
to
go
into
politics
is
supposed
to
shine
in
that
political
party
called
PRP
,
PLP
,
PUP
,
PDP
,
LP
.
As
a
man
of
God
,
your
influence
,
if
it
will
penetrate
the
world
is
going
to
require
the
light
that
God
has
made
available
for
the
world
.
And
so
,
you
cannot
intend
to
overcome
the
world
on
their
own
playing
ground
without
you
engaging
a
power
;
a
force
that
is
outside
the
world
,
yet
available
in
the
world
.

So

if

become
an

factor

an

entity
on

then
you

the
power
that
is
bigger

You

when

There

Whether

wherever

there

if

you

until
I

You

there

a

The
smaller
animal
needed
to

the
smaller
animal
told
the
bigger
animal
,
just
please
carry
me

and
I
will
be
very

And
the
bigger
animal
said

both

understanding

they
began
the
journey

lo

behold
,
just

the

the

,
no

will
you

Okay

if

wouldn

So
,
if
you
began
with
the
devil
,
don
39
;
t
forget
,
the
devil
is
not
alone
.
He
has
a
lot
of
brothers
and
sisters
.
There
are
uncles
and
brothers
and
aunties
in
the
kingdom
of
darkness
.
Those
aunties
have
their
own
children
too
;
the
children
are
over
cities
and
territories
.
Ambitious
!
Equally
wicked
like
you
!
If
you
think
you
are
wicked
,
they
are
much
more
wicked
.
You
guys
are
of
the
same
family
.
So
,
you
can
39
;
t
think
you
are
looking
for
safety
and
then
you
go
into
that
kingdom
.
The
culture
of
that
kingdom
is
,
if
you
want
to
go
up
,
you
pull
somebody
down
.
Have
you
not
seen
Nigerian
politics
?
Can
&

t
somebody
say
I
am
competent
,
take
me
for
this
job
.
No
!
The
person
will
make
sure
he
destroys
the
person
that
is
ahead
.
He
says
, &
ldquo
;
If
I
need
to
go
up
,
I
need
to
implicate
this
man
,
this
woman
&

So
,
in
the
kingdom
of
darkness
,
there
is
no
guarantee
of
safety
.

But
Jesus
said

I
am
the
light
of
the
world
,
he
who
follows
Me

don
39

t

You
will
never
walk
in
darkness
.
You
won
&

t
experience
darkness
.
Darkness
will
not
be
your
mannerism
.
You
will
not
function
in
the
order
of
darkness
.
You
remember
the
two
brothers
who
wanted
to
call
down
fire
to
destroy
the
people
of
Samaria
?
Jesus
said
,
no
!
you
do
not
know
the
manner
of
spirit
that
you
are
of
.
Why
did
He
say
that
to
them
?
It
is
because
they
were
his
followers
and
they
wanted
to
behave
in
a
way
that
is
different
from
people
in
the
light
;
the
way
they
behave
.
So
,
if
you
are
following
Jesus
,
you
must
not
suddenly
exhibit
darkness
.
It
is
wrong
for
you
to
say
, &

I

Jesus
is
saying
,
if
you
follow
me
,
you
will
not
walk
in
darkness
.
It
will
not
happen
to
you
that
people
can
find
darkness
coming
out
of
you
;
dark
thoughts
,
dark
imaginations
,
dark
behavior
.
But
it
39
;
s
not
going
to
be
because
you
have
spent
30
years
in
the
church
,
it
is
going
to
be
because
you
follow
Me
who
is
the
light
of
the
world
.
You
see
,
it
is
easy
for
us
to
be
holy
in
the
church
.
That
39

s
the
issue
.
We
don
39
;
t
live
,
and
sleep
and
work
in
the
church
.
The
Bible
says
,
in
Him
,
Christ
,
we
live
,
we
move
,
we
have
our
being
,
for
those
who
really
live
in
Christ
.
But
usually
we
come
to
church
,
we
go
to
our
houses
.
From
our
houses
,
we
go
to
our
offices
,
we
go
to
the
market
,
we
go
to
farm
.
These
are
places
that
we
do
evil
.
Another
word
for
darkness
is
evil
.
Jesus
said
,
walk
with
me
,
follow
me
,
and
you
will
not
do
evil
.
You
will
not
think
evil
thought

I
pray
God
will
help
us

Why
would
this
be
?
Because
you
are
shining
!
But
please
,
there
is
something
that
we
are
reading
here
and
many
of
us
have
not
been
reading
it
correctly
.
In
Isaiah
60
:
1
!
Do
you
know
how
we
have
always
been
reading
that
place
?
We
39

ve
always
been
reading
it
like
arise

is
that
not
what
we
read
? &
ldquo
;
Arise
and
shine
for
your
light

The
Bible
didn

t

Arise

Bible
says
, &

Arise

comma
,
then
&
ldquo

Shine
&
rdquo

You
know
,
at
the
beginning
I
asked
us
,
if
they
give
us
two
things
;
authority
and
responsibility
to
choose
one
,
we
all
agreed
that
,
we
will
choose
authority
,
very
quickly

So
,
there
are
two
things
now
:
Arise

and
shine
.
The
Bible
didn
39

t
say
, &
ldquo
;
Arise
and
shine

Because
that
will
be
very
difficult

how
can
I
rise

and
at

I

I

it
&

s
difficult

Let
me
quote
a
Scripture
for
us
.
The
Bible
says
<
strong

Seeth

strong

and
I
want
us

seeth

the

he
shall
stand
,
this
thing
is
definite

it
will
happen

It
may
not
be
happening
now
oh
,
but
he
shall
stand
before
kings
and
not
mere
men

Let
39

s
say
that
again
.
Have
you
seen
a
man
,
have
you
seen
,
in
the
past
,
have
you
seen
yesterday
,
3
years
ago
,
a
man
,
did
you
see
him
last
week
,
who
is
diligent
,
every
time
you
go
to
him
,
since
Buhari
became
president
,
and
even
after
Buhari
left
,
and
since
President
Tinubu
became
President
,
and
now
President
Tinubu
is
looking
at
one
year
in
office
,
every
time
you
see
him
,
you
see
him
being
diligent
in
his
business
.
The
Bible
says
,
that
man
shall
stand
before
kings
and
not
mere
men
.
What
does
that
tell
us
?
It
takes
time
to
shine
.
If
you
will
ever
shine
,
it
must
be
because
you
have
first
arisen
.
So
,
there
is
a
condition
that
is
necessary
for
anybody
to
shine
.

An
average
Nigerian
wakes
up
in
the
morning
with
a
lot
of
wishes
.
But
most
people
go
back
to
sleep
without
anything
to
show
for
it
.
So
,
let
39

s
get
away
from
wishes
.
Let
39
;
s
learn
what
the
Bible
is
showing
us
.
It
says
,
that
shining
that
you
want
to
do
is
possible
but
this
is
it
,
you
have
to
first
arise
.
Of
course
,
you
have
to
arise
from
your
bed
.
Arise
from
your
past
failures
,
arise
from
the
things
you
did
before
and
people
liked
it
.
That
thing
that
people
liked
has
being
the
reason
why
nobody
like
anything
again
,
any
new
thing
,
arise
from
that
.
Arise
from
your
relationship
that
collapsed
,
arise
from
things
that
have
kept
you
the
way
you
have
been
.
Arise
from
your
own
limited
and
limiting
thoughts
;
arise
from
the
way
you
think
.
You
think
nobody
has
ever
been
great
in
your
family
and
you
think
,
it
can
&
rsquo

t
even
be
you
,
arise
from
that
thinking
.

Have

have
a
different
way
of
life
.
Have
a
new
way
of
thinking
,
a
new
way
of
seeing
life

You
know
,
when
the
Bible
says
,
repent
,
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
at

Another
word
for
repent
is
change
your

Change

Change

repent

not
also
similar

&

arise

Change
your
mindset

So
,
if
you
will
shine
in
that
your
business
,
you
have
to
change
your
mindset
.
This
your
current
mindset
cannot
take
you
to
the
point
that
you
desire

Do
you
remember
where
you

yourself

last

That
your

it
can
39

t
be
done
with
this
your
current
way
of
living

30

no
more
like
that
.
But
there
are
people
today
in
2024
who
are
still
thinking
like
that
,
no
matter
what
they
make
,
they
will
finish
it
.
So
,
the
Bible
says
,
if
you
will
succeed
,
arise
from
that
.
Arise
!

I
want
us
to
conclude
with
this
scripture
in
John
chapter
5
,
from
verse
33
to
35
, &
ldquo
;<
strong

you
have
sent
to
John
and
he
has
borne
witness
to
the
truth
.
Yet
I
do
not
receive
testimony
from
man
.
But
I
say
these
things
that
you
may
be
saved
.
He
was
the
burning
and
shining
lamp
.

Another
word
for
lamp
is
a
light

And
you
,
the
people
,
you
were
willing
for
a
time
to
rejoice
in
his
light

So
,
Jesus
was
saying
,
when
John
was
alive
,
John
was
a
burning
and
a
shining
light
.
But
we
should
never
forget
that
John
did
not
start
shining
when
he
was
born
.
Of
course
,
John
shone
a
little
bit
when
he
was
born
,
do
we
remember
?
When
they
said
,
what
is
his
name
?
And
his
father
eventually
spoke
that
day
after
being
dumb
for
almost
a
year
.
So
,
people
are
like
,
what
manner
of
a
child
is
this
,
wow
,
we
have
never
seen
this
before
.
Apart
from
that
day
,
he
didn
39
;
t
shine
again
.
He
was
not
popular
.
Bible
says
,
he
was
in
the
wilderness
until
the
day
of
his
showing
to
Israel
.
Another
word
for
that
showing
is
,
of
the
day
of
his
shining
before
Israel
. &

So
Sir
,
when
he
was
13
,
14
,
15
,
16
,
24
,
25
all
those
years
,
he
was
busy
in
the
wilderness
,
arising
.
Can
we
see
,
that
word
&
ldquo
;
arise
&
rdquo
;
is
large
.
It
can
take
40
years
of
a
lifetime
,
so
for
those
who
want
to
suddenly
shine
,
don
39
;
t
think
you
can
shine
suddenly
except
you
want
to
be
a
fake
light
.
I
was
watching
Twitter
yesterday
on
my
phone
and
a
particular
boy
on
the
street
, &
nbsp
;
I
don
39
;
t
know
the
town
in
Nigeria
,
like
a
busy
road
,
dualized
road
,
so
it
must
be
a
state
capital
in
Nigeria
.
You
know
this
Jeep
,
Mercedes
Jeep
,
colour
white
,
he
came
out
of
the
Jeep
and
the
boy
was
tearing
his
clothes
.
He
is
a
<

yahoo
yahoo

boy
.
He
was
tearing
his
clothes
. &
nbsp
;
Eventually
,
some
juju
in
the
car
,
he
brought
them
outside
on
the
road
.
He
threw
it
on
the
ground
.
Fine
boy
!
A
lot
of
people
were
holding
him
,
eventually
,
he
was
just
with
boxers
alone
.
White
car
!
White
clothes
!
White
boxers
!
Everything
is
white
.
But
they
did
not
tell
the
man
that
,
that
day
his
life
is
going
to
be
arrested
,
a
young
guy
,
he
could
not
be
more
than
35
,
or
up
to
35
,
He
had
already
gone
mad
.
His
friends
were
holding
him
,
they
were
putting
him
inside
the
boot
.
If
you
see
the
way
he
was
dressed
,
you
will
know
that
they
didn
39
;
t
want
to
use
him
for
<

he
is
the
one
that
has
used
other
people

So
,
if
you
don
39
;
t
want
to
be
like
that
,
then
it
will
take
you
a
long
time
to
arise
.
Many
of
us
did
not
hear
anything
about
Solomon
until
suddenly
he
became
king
over
Israel
.
But
let
us
not
be
deceived
,
that
man
took
time
to
arise
,
the
same
thing
with
David
.
David
was
in
the
desert
with
his
father
39
;
s
sheep
.
He
was
killing
lions
.
He
was
killing
bear
.
We
didn
39
;
t
hear
about
him
.
What
was
he
doing
?
He
was
arising
.
Jesus
,
Bible
says
,
and
the
child
grew
.
The
same
thing
for
John
,
and
became
strong
in
spirit
.
When
Jesus
was
doing
all
that
,
what
do
you
think
was
happening
to
Jesus
at
29
,
30
years
?
He
was
arising
.
But
one
day
He
took
the
Bible
in
the
synagogue
and
He
read
it
,
and
He
said
,
this
day
this
Scripture
is
fulfilled
in
your
presence
.
I
have
been
arising
oh
,
brethren
,
I
have
now
fully
risen
up
.
I
am
taking
my
place
in
destiny
.

So
,
there
must
come
a
time
in
your
life
when
it
is
said
of
you
that
you
are
arising
.
The
Bible
says
,
Arise
,
shine
.
Why
are
you
doing
all
that
?
The
Bible
says
your
light
has
come
.
Your
light
has
come
doesn
39
;
t
mean
you
will
not
be
prepared
,
it
doesn
&
rsquo
;
t
mean
dross
will
not
be
taken
away
from
you
.
Anything
that
complicates
or
implicate
,
everything
that
pollutes
and
corrupt
must
be
taken
out
of
your
life
.
Your
heart
must
be
purged
,
you
must
go
through
a
consecration
process
,
you
must
become
a
man
whose
heart
is
right
before
God
.
When
that
has
been
done
,
what
will
happen
is
that
you
will
shine
;
you
will
not
shine
for
a
while
you
will
shine
for
a
long
time
.

John
the
Baptist
had
died
,
long
time
now
but
we
still
talk
about
him
today
.
So
,
he
is
still
shining
.
Apostle
Paul
has
died
,
but
we
quote
him
every
time
. &
ldquo
;
Let
39

s
open
our
Bibles
to
Romans
chapter
5
,&

it
was
written
by
him
.
So
,
every
time
we
quote
what
he
wrote
,
what
is
he
doing
?
He
is
shining
.
He
is
influencing
us
.
Another
way
,
he
is
exercising
dominion
.
You
cannot
survive
without
them
shining
on
you
.
When
the
sun
does
not
rise
up
in
the
morning
,
do
you
rise
up
from
your
bed
?
So
,
you
wait
for
the
sun
before
you
wake
up
.
The
people
of
the
world
are
waiting
for
you
before
they
wake
up

Bible
says
in
Romans
chapter
8
verse
18
, <

Arising
is
a
matter
of
your
posture

Arising
is
a
matter
of
your
position

The
same
way
God
sets
the
light
in
the
firmament

God
will
set
you

I
by
how
we

this
rising

When

Lara
rise

what

take

position

don

t

Maybe
God
is
putting
somebody
in
government
position
,
don
39

t
run
away
from
there

Wherever
God
is
raising
you
,
stay
there
,
that
is
you
accepting
responsibility
.
If
you
can
stay
enough
and
do
what
God
asked
you
to
do
,
it
&

s
just
a
matter
of
time
,
you
are
going
to
be
known
as
a
light
that
shines
;
a
light
that
shines
so
much
that
darkness
around
you
will
be
able
to
overcome
it
.
Let
us
rise
up

in

Let

responsibility
for
our
destinies
,
let
us
shine
