The Nightlight
Comfort and security
Description: A small light on at night: a small lamp or candle lit to give a dim light during the night, especially in a child’s bedroom.
The nightlight is small but effective in providing a since of comfort and security in a dark place. The Lord spoke to me and said, that there are leaders in the earth who has the characteristics of the nightlight. Like the nightlight; these leaders can easily come unplugged from their power source and become shrouded in darkness themselves. The nightlight is turned off when a brighter light is shown and turned on when darkness comes, so in essence; it loves the darkness. Darkness showcases the nightlight’s dim light, and makes it seem more significant.
Nightlights do possess some power because they are plugged into a power source, but they only use a very small fraction of it. So their messages of light is very dim, shadowy and never giving the clear truth, that darkness is all around and that you are falling asleep in it. The message of the nightlight is only designed to persuade people who are in darkness to keep focusing on it and everything will be fine. But when a greater light is on, the nightlight becomes insignificant and often un-noticed. So leaders who have the “nightlight” mentality are often very intimidated by other leaders who possess greater prowess or anointing than themselves. But to become a great leader, one must first be a great follower of a great leader. Jesus chose twelve disciples to follow him so that he could teach them before sending them out to be teachers. By that example; it would be wise for anyone called into leadership to display humility and glean from leaders with more wisdom and knowledge than themselves...
