Salt and Light
Bible passage: Matthew 5:13-16
“13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. ”
We give all thanks and glory to Father God who’s blessed us to inaugurate five elders, 95 senior deaconesses, 24 honorary senior deaconesses, and 1 cooperative senior deaconess. I also thank their families and guests who came to celebrate. Brothers and sisters, whichever organization you belong, you need to go through a lot of processes for a long time to become a leader.
For example, for a new recruit to become a president, he has to start off from the lowest position and go all the way up to presidency, which takes decades of time. But, this isn’t the case for any employee. It’s possible when he is recognized for his capabilities and achievements. The same goes for titles in the church. When we’re recognized for our faith, achievements, and fruits, we can receive a higher title.
So, what an honor and blessing this is for you, inaugurated workers! If you cherish your title and live up to it, God will also recognize you. How thankful you should be for that! Thus, receiving a title in the kingdom of God is such a great honor and blessings which cannot be compared to any titles and positions in the world.
