Ps Nicky began by telling us that as we walk with God, each of us must have three types of encounters with God: (i) Truth Encounter – the word of God has to come alive in our lives i.e. letting the Word of God transform our thinking in all areas so that we are aligned with God; (ii) Power Encounter: We need to experience the power of God working on our behalf through the Holy Spirit. Whenever we face difficulties, we can walk in the power of God, as we are anointed by the Holy Spirit just as Jesus was anointed in Acts 10:38; Letting the Holy Spirit dwell in us will result in an outflow (iii) Personal Encounter: This is not a one-time event, it is a constant encounter in our lives. It is a personal encounter of your identity of who we are with God and more importantly, who God is to us. He reminded us that as parents, we need to build this foundation in the lives of our children.
Jesus said in Matt 5:14-16 that “You are the Light of the World”. Thus, God has anointed us to be the Light of the World, for us to “Shine like Stars” amid chaos and darkness Phil 2:14-15 (HCSB).
