God has set us in heavenly places in Christ Jesus . When we receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit we enter into this heavenly kingdom . The place where God has kept us , wherever it may be , is heaven for us ; we should take it as heaven by us . Then we shall be able to shine and give light to others .
But if we choose a place for ourselves according to our own will , the place may appear like heaven , as Sodom did to Lot when he chose it , but it will soon turn into hell for us , like Sodom did when fire and brimstone was rained . Instead of emitting rays of light we shall be engulfing others in darkness .
God has set us in heavenly places and He expects us to give light to the earth . God's method of ruling is by giving light , and this is an excellent way to rule . Rulers should be exemplary . Ruling should be character - based , not power - based . We need revelation and enlightenment to live a selfless life , and rule according to the pattern set by God .
Jesus said , " Let your light so shine before men , that they may see your good works , and glorify your Father which is in heaven " ( Matt 5:16 ) . God wants us to give light to the earth through our good works .
