What is in the Bright and Shining Light Agenda?
3. It signifies that we are in the era of wisdom
(Eccl 7:11-13, 10:10 Luke 16:9-10, Ezek 28:7, 17, Gen 41:31-28, Prov 4:7, Dan 12:3, Ps 72:8-11)
• Wisdom provides solutions to problems people are facing.
• Where there are solutions, there is money and promotions.
• If you have money but lack wisdom, there are certain realms you can’t enter.
• Wisdom will bring beauty and color to your life.
• Wisdom will bring sharpness to the things you do.
• Wisdom makes you shine.
• Growing in age does not mean growing in wisdom.

4. Dominion (Dan 2:31, 44-46, Exo 34:30, Luke 24:4-5, Acts 10:30, 22:6-7)
• Bright and Shining Light speaks of dominion at higher levels.
• When your afraid of you, certain battles come to an end.
• Light is a weapon that ensures you remain in dominion.

5. Superior weapons over stubborn enemies (Jer 51:11, Ezek 21:15, 21, Nah 3:3, 2 Thes 2:8, Hab 3:11, Acts 12:7)

6. Visibility and spread (increase) (Deut 33:2, 1 Sam 16:15-21)
• Visibility is important because it amplifies value.
• You can have value but when people can’t see that value, it doesn’t help.
• You need light for people to see, cooperate with and enjoy what God has endowed you with.
• It is not about how good you are but who sees or knows your good.
• Recognition leads to opportunities.
• Trust and influence grow with exposure.
• When you are exposed, people can trust you.
• People trust what they see more.

How to increase your visibility
1. Know who you are and occupy your place
• Jesus was not afraid to say who He was.

2. Make use of all available platforms to make yourself known for what you carry

3. Be consistent
4. Show up where it matters
5. Deliver the value you carry (represent) publicly
• Let people see what you can do.
• Don’t perform secret miracles, perform them publicly.
• Joseph wasn’t interpreting dreams secretly.

• When your love for God begins to wax cold, the things you used to be zealous about God for you won’t be zealous anymore.
• When your love for God begins to grow cold, the things of God won’t move you anymore and that will be the beginning of your downfall.
• Those churches that are called traditional churches today weren’t always like that, they were once as hot as those who think they are hot today.
• As an individual, you can examine your walk with God (2 Cor 13:5).
• In the same way a student can know when his grades are going down, you too as a believer can examine your walk with God.
• Today there are pastors who are not saved.
• Today there are pastors who hire gunmen to kill other pastors they’re jealous of.
• Today, there are pastors who go to witchdoctors to get charms in order to have power.
• We are in the last days.
• One of the signs of the last days is the love for God dying in the hearts of people.
• When the love for God dies, the negative things that were difficult for you to do will become easy to do.
• The love for God we receive in our hearts is what makes us to desire God.
• There is nobody that is strong in their christian walk outside God, don’t deceive yourself.

• A good wife can become a bad wife without God.
• The good things we are and are enjoying are because of God.
• Our strength, our beauty is in our relationship with God.
• Keep checking your love for God because once it leaves your heart, something else will enter.
• When people backslide, they lose affection for God and the things around God.
John 14:30, 1 Cor 13:13
• The love for God that is in our hearts help us love God and gravitate towards the things of God.
• If you are having difficulties gravitating towards the things of God, check your love for God.
• If you no longer want to serve God with zeal and passion, check your love.
• Every time love for God seems to be going down, it is an indication that the relationship with the Holy Spirit is dying.
• Every time you have fellowship with the Holy Spirit, your love for God is refreshed and gets stronger.
• When the devil has access to your life, the first thing he will do is kill the love for God and replace it with his own.
• The Spirit of God uses love as a tool to draw you closer to Him.
Zec 12:10, Psa 65:4
