Audio Version
- Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.“
As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect Christ and to be the light of the world, shining brightly in the midst of darkness. To reflect Christ is to live a life that points others to Him, a life marked by love, kindness, compassion, and sacrifice. It means being intentional about representing Christ in every interaction, whether at work, at home, or in our communities.
When we reflect Christ, we are not just mirroring His actions; we are also revealing His character to a world that desperately needs to see Him. Our good works, our words, and our actions all have the potential to glorify God and draw others to Him. As we walk in obedience to Christ, we will naturally show forth His light, and others will take notice.
So, make a conscious effort to reflect Christ daily. Look for opportunities to serve, love, and bless those around you. As you do, you will not only bring glory to God and bring many to Christ, you will also be a source of hope and encouragement to those who need it most. Hallelujah!

PRAYER FOR A NATION
CYPRUS
Cyprus has struggled to achieve stability since gaining independence from Britain in 1960. A 1974 Turkish invasion and occupation of the north has divided the island, creating 230,000 refugees. The island remains divided, with the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus having separate governments. Negotiations for reunification have been ongoing since 2008, but progress is slow. Cyprus is struggling with severe economic challenges, with heavy exposure to bad foreign debt and a declining tourism industry. The country also struggles with negative prejudices against Evangelical and Protestant churches.
