The Menorah People

The Menorah People…

Israel’s symbol is the menorah, a seven-branched lamp stand- the lamp that stood in the Holy Place, filled with oil and was kept burning by the priests.

Israel was called to be a light to the nations, a holy vessel filled with God’s oil, shining with His light, the light of His presence, and His salvation.

The Word of God says that if you’re born again, you are a fellow citizen of Israel. God’s nation is called to be a light to the world, and every citizen is called to be a light to those around it. So the menorah, the lamp stand, is the symbol of your nation, your citizenship, and your life.

But that lamp could not be a light on its own power. On its own, it was empty. It needed to be filled with the oil and the fire. In the same way, in order to be a light, you need to get filled and refilled every day.

Get filled with the oil of His Spirit, joy of His presence, bread of His Word, and fire of His will. Be the light you were called to be and shine at all times, in all things, and to all people. It’s your calling… and your heritage.

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Commit that today you will not be overcome by any darkness – but you will shine the light of God into it.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always
