🕯 The Lamp on a Stand

Faith Was Never Meant to Be Hidden

Jesus didn’t just talk about seeds. He talked about light.

“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.”
— Luke 8:16

Seems obvious, right?
You don’t light a lamp and bury it.
You lift it high — so everyone near it can see.

But Jesus wasn’t giving home decor advice.
He was talking about you.


🔦 Hidden Light

God placed something inside you — a spark, a light, a calling.
But so many people hide it.

Why?

  • Fear of being judged
  • Past mistakes
  • Feeling “not ready”
  • Wanting to keep the peace

But God’s light in you wasn’t meant for hiding.
It was meant for healing others.


đź’ˇ Light That Leads

When you walk into a dark room and turn on a lamp — you’re not trying to impress the furniture.

You’re trying to help someone see.

That’s what your story does.
That’s what your faith does.
That’s what your “yes” to God does.

It lights the way for others.


🔥 The Cost of Silence

If your faith is only personal, it might not yet be powerful.

Not because it’s not real — but because it’s still under the bed.

The world doesn’t need more silence.
It needs people bold enough to turn on the lamp, even if it flickers.


đźš‚ The Train Connection

Everyone who boards The Billion Dollar Train brings something with them — not just prayers, but purpose.

This isn’t a train of shadows.
It’s a train of light-bearers.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to be willing to shine.

So dust off your lamp.
Stand it up.

Let it glow.


🙏 Ask Yourself:

  • Am I hiding the light God gave me?
  • What would it look like to share more boldly?
  • Who could be encouraged by the fire I’ve been keeping to myself?

🎟️ The train doesn’t need passengers in the dark.
It needs lamps in motion.
