Happy weekend everyone in the Hive Open Mic community. It is with great pleasure coming here again with my entry to the week's theme which is titled "Beacon of Light". Here with me is a cover of a beautiful song from Bethel Music which was sung by Jonathan and Melissa Helser, titled "Raise a Hallelujah".
I watched the live video of this song and listened to this big miracle that happened which birthed this amazing song. Jonathan narrated an incident that happened four years ago, a few days before Christmas, a little boy named Jackson was airlifted by his parents to an intensive care unit where he was about to die. The Bethel music family came together that night and started praying for this boy. Jonathan said as he was praying, he saw this giant of unbelief in front of him and he didn't know when this song dropped into his heart and sang in the presence of the giant. Immediately, the sword was dropped down and a miracle happened. The boy came back to life.
I was so moved by this story and how the song of Hallelujah brought back a little child to life. The Bethel family were a Beacon of light in Jackson's life as they interceded with his parents in prayer.
Anyone can be your Beacon of light as they help you to overcome some challenges in life. A beacon of light is like a source of inspiration to anyone. I am privileged to have my siblings fill in the gap for me where I'd thought I wouldn't be able to go back to school. I went and graduated with a good grade. All thanks to their light through God that shone on my path. Aside from them, I would like to thank my parents for believing in me, even though my Dad is the one alive who still keeps motivating me and is the reason I am trying my best so that I could take care of him.
This song is so inspiring and emotional that I just couldn't stop singing it, knowing how powerful it is to break every chain and bring light to shine on our path. Even in the Bible, (Matthew 5:16) God wants us to be a beacon of light pointing to others who have gone astray or not yet received Him into the light which He has given to us. There are people out there wanting to learn from us and also become an inspiration to them. This, we must do for God's name to be glorified in Heaven. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
I hope you enjoy this sweet song as you are reminded to be a light in the dark of many people. You can find the lyrics of the song here: Raise a Hallelujah
