DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The preacher delves into the significance of 'rhema' in the Bible,
emphasizing its various meanings such as prophecy, charge, message,
promise, and command. 'Rhema' is portrayed as a powerful spoken word
that can bring about different outcomes, from nourishment and life-
giving to potentially damaging effects. The sermon highlights how
'rhema' is a purifying, creating, and upholding word, ultimately aiming
to sanctify and cleanse believers, making them blameless and holy before
God.

We are called the lights of the worldlight bearers, reflectors,
candlesticks, lamps. We are to be kindled ourselves, and then we will
burn and give light to others. We are the only light the world has. The
Lord could come down Himself and give light to the world, but He has
chosen differently. He wants to send it through us, and if we do not
give it the world will not have it. God does not put a meteor in the sky
to tell us when to shine. We are to be giving light continually wherever
we are-at home, among friends or in church. We should have the attitude
that we may never have another opportunity, and so we should always be
shining for Him. Let our lamps be trimmed and full of the oil of the
Spirit.

Above all, let us be a steady light to those without Christ.

Let me dwell in Timnath-serah, Where the sun forever shines. Where the
night and darkness come not, And the day no more declines.
