*ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21*
*When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.
*Acts 15:30-40*.
Having seen what it takes to shine, today we will be looking at what it takes to keep shining because i believe that it is everyone's dream to move from good to better and the book of proverbs puts it this way.
*But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day*.
So we have seen now that it takes one being just to keep shining brighter and brighter and the big question now is "who is a just man or what does it take to be just?".
A just man is a man of "righteousness" and "justice" being attuned to the right thing and actually doing it. Which mean that the man must not just be morally upright and good but must be seen to live it out in his daily life.
What is righteousness? By righteousness we means "Purity of heart and rectitude of life; conformity of heart and life to the divine law. Righteousness to me is to be in right standing with God.
Righteousness, is mostly used or compared to or equivalent to holiness, understanding what it takes to be holy, loving it and practicing it with all sincerity.
What is justice? By justice we mean rendering to everyone that which is his due. Justice also entails impartiality; equal distribution of right in expressing opinions; fair representation of facts. As Christians we are duty bound to do justice to every man, whether friend or foe.
In essence what characterises the life of a just man is his uncompromising nature, his refusal not to allow circumstances to change him, his descison to make sure that the right things are done irrespective who is involved.
Let us also place it on record that this path that shines brighter and brighter is not meant for a particular set of people neither is it forced on anybody but it is for those who in their own Accord/free will choose to live it out and remain committed to it and as such find joy and fulfillment in doing so.
But how can one shine in the midst of a darkened world, how can one shine when everybody seems to be dancing towards darkness? The answer dear friend is that every light shines brighter when it is darker. The darker the darkness the brighter the light so do not allow the darkness around you to deter you from shining.
Are you ready to shine more and more or you are contented with where you are? Remember that the greatest enemy of more success is the success of today so don't allow what you have achieved or where you are to deny you of moving forward. Remember that the widest room in the world is the room for improvement. If you are not improving know that you are dying gradually.
I pray that the Angels of the Lord will push you to a realm where continuous shining will be your lot through Christ our Lord Amen.
Good day beloved and do have a blessed day. Peace be with you.
To all of us celebrating anything today this is wishing you the best.
*REMEMBER*, That when you are down to nothing that God is up to something.
