YOU ARE A MORNING STAR
"In which you SHINE LIKE STARS in the universe (Phil 2:15)

A morning star doesn't have a good beginning. In it incipient stage or early life, it is not usually recognized as a star because it is covered by very thick cloud of dark dust. While other stars are shining, the morning star in its early stage doesn't shine along with them. It has a humble beginning, often looked down upon by other stars.

But as time progresses, the morning star gradually grows in glory and brilliance until it breaks free from the dark cloud that enveloped its brilliance and outshines not only the dark clouds but also all the other stars. The glory of the morning star is quite different and more glorious than all the other stars as it is written

" STAR DIFFER FROM STAR IN GLORY"
(1Cor15:41)

The way of a child of God is like the way of a morning star . In fact we are morning stars. The path of a righteous man is not always smooth in the beginning.
No wonder his word says
"The path of a righteous man is like the MORNING SUN, SHINING EVER BRIGHTER TO THE FULL LIGHT OF THE DAY"(Pro 4:18)

The glory of the morning star is covered by thick dark dust particles in the beginning, so is the life of a righteous man is beset by many disappointments, failures, rejections, lost of job, family breakdown, betrayals etc. You see friends walk away from him because of loss of job, you see wife leave him because of financial breakdown. He is treated as the refuse of the world, even the scum of the earth. His glory is hidden and concealed by his creator by thick dust of darkness. He does it so that when HE brings him to limelight , all will know that his glory was from the Lord alone. The Lord doesn't want to share that glory with anyone .

The morning star shines at an appointed season. It doesn't shine until the time set by the Father because the morning star is a destiny star. He is a special star , he is not just a star. His glory surpasses that of the other stars.He always has the last laugh. When other stars were shining and rejoicing over him because he was steeped in pitch darkness, he trusted in his maker. But once in limelight, he outshines all the other stars. The glory of the morning star is seen not only at night , but also in the morning. In the morning when all the brilliance of all the other stars are overcome and concealed by the brilliance of the sun, the MORNING STAR STLL SHINES FORTH. Not even the radiation and the brilliance of the sun could stop this great star from shining. When you see a star shining in the morning, it is a morning star. They are only one or two of them that shine in the morning. They are not many. They are chosen by the Father to shine when all the others stars have faded away. Though their beginning are always rough and bitter, their end surpasses the glory of all the other stars.

No matter whatever you may be going through in life never lose the MORNING STAR.

" I AM THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR"
(Rev 22:16)
The Lord Jesus Christ is the morning star. His beginning was very rough but today he sits enthroned as the King of Kings. He also lives in you if you believed in him. In him also you have become a morning star. You may suffer the lost of job, friends may walk away, wife or husband may abandon us, society may label you a failure, but never give up. In due season, you will shine. He has destined the time for you to shine. As it is written

"The revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will never prove false, though it linger, wait for it. For it will surely come and will not delay"(Hab2:3)

Whatever the Lord promised you will surely come to pass
He never disappoints. Hold on to HIM.
You are the light of the world; a city set on the hill cannot be hidden.

You will outshine the thick dark dust covering your glory. You will outshine all the other stars on the day He brings you to limelight.
