Father Abraham should be the most pitiable person when one reason why people don’t enjoy or enjoy very little of the promise of God for their lives. He wished he could but time would not. One of the promises God made with Abraham was about stars. His descendants would be like stars, would be stars:
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. Gen. 15:5
Abraham did not understand what God meant. Yet Daniel had insight on the one called stars:
And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Dan. 12:3.
THE REVELATION OF STARS
Stars therefore, according to scriptures are believers; a product of faith and a producer of faith. Jesus Himself is referred to as the Bright and Morning Star:
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star. Rev.22:16
Jesus is a star. This was not shown to anyone but only to the wise men. Only wise men deserve to know Jesus as a star. It takes only wise men to know this reality. Only wise believers can realize that they are stars. The wise men would not miss it. They traced the star to its location:
….behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. Matt. 2:1-2
THE GLORY OF A STAR
According to the scriptures, the glory a star caries deserves to be worshiped. He is the bright and morning star. Believers as stars are to be seen and in turn worship the bright and morning star that shines in them and through them. The scripture is emphatic about how the operation should be carried out:
Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matt. 5:16
He is always shinning, we permit him in us, he then shines out- we shine to be seen by men, and men see and exclaim: Glory to God! That is the system. Anything different from this is questionable. This is because we don’t have our own star; we are a reflection of Christ. We have no light of ourselves:
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:4
The Stars are located everywhere for this glory. There is a glory that each star carries. The brighter the light (or glory) of the star, the more the worship that is being given to Go. Apostle Paul got this understanding and uncovers that:
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. 1Cor. 15:41
THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE GLORY
Although all of us tapped from the same source- the bright and morning star, we don’t shine the same. What determines the brightness of this shining is our dedication to God’s work. That is the revelation Daniel got. He knew that as many who are committed to soul winning, they are expected to shine more. They are the one proverbs chapter four verse eighteen described:
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
CONTINUITY AND SUBSTANCE OF THE SHINING
May I say to us that we are met to shine brighter. Every day, everywhere, every place, every time, every seconds until the perfect day- the kingdom day, the judgment day, the rapture aftermath. So no believer is expected to retire from soul winning business. We shine continually. There is every tendency that those who are shining in true kingdom soul winning business will continue to sine from that same level from the perfect day ahead. May God give us understanding.
God prophesied into Abraham that innumerable number of believers would fill the earth as believers and reapers of souls. It is happening today, but Abraham is absent to see this.
If you know that you are a star, shine. This is the command god gave to us who are stars:
Arise, shine; for thy light is come…. Is. 60:1
So, let us shine to the world. Let our path that is shining make others to see the way and follow the path of light. May we have grace to shine as star without limits in Jesus name. Amen.
Shine, Shine, Let the Stars Shine.
