Open Heaven 27 March 2026 TOPIC – Ministers Of Light (1)

MEMORISE: The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. – Matthew 4:16 (KJV)

READ: Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 17-18

Open Heaven 27 March 2026 MESSAGE

Light is powerful. It drives away darkness and reveals whatever is hidden. In John 9:5, Jesus said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 1:4-5 also says, “In him was life; and the life was the light and of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” These Scriptures confirm that Jesus is the Light. However, in Matthew 5:14, the same Jesus said to His disciples, “Ye are the light of the world…” God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19); hence, if Jesus says His disciples are the light of this world, if you are His disciple, then you are light.

James 1:17 tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from God, who is the Father of lights. If our Father is the Light, then His children must be light. God expects you to shine, and in today’s Bible reading, He commands you to let your light shine so that men will see your good works and give glory to Him.

As a child of God, you are a minister of light, and this means that you must shine. God has called you an able minister of the new covenant (2 Corinthians 3:6); therefore, your life must reveal God’s glory and grace. In John 14:12, Jesus said that those who believe in Him will do the works He did and even surpass them by doing greater works.

When the light of God shines in a place, impossibilities become possible. We can see this in the life of Jesus Christ; wherever He went, miracles, healings, and deliverance happened in abundance. In John 9:1-7, He gave sight to a man who was born blind. Likewise, in John 5:1-9, He healed a man who had an infirmity for 38 years. He also healed some lepers in Luke 17:11-19, as well as a man who was possessed by a legion of demons (Mark 5:1-20). The Bible says in Matthew 4:23-25 that Jesus’ fame spread throughout Syria because of the great miracles He was performing. People saw Him as the Light and were willing to follow Him wherever He went.

Beloved, as a child of God, light is your identity, and this light must shine so brightly that it eliminates every form of darkness around you. I pray that the light of God in you will never become hidden, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 27 March 2026 PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to walk in the fullness of my identity as light, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 27 March 2026 HYMN 7 – I Am Thine O Lord

1 l am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer bless Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3 Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee,
my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4 There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
