« As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world [giving guidance through My word and works].” »
5 This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all.
6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.
7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.
9 But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that His word has no place in our hearts.
There are certain things in life that are very difficult to define.
One of such things is light.
If someone asks you, “What is light?”,
you may simply say it is the opposite of darkness.
However, to understand light, you need to understand what darkness stands for.
Our case study for this series will be Bartimaeus – a blind man who met Jesus and the darkness in his life ended.
When you look at Mark 10:46-52, you will see some of the things that darkness portrays and thus identify certain things hidden in light.
For example, darkness equals sickness.
If darkness signifies sickness, then light signifies healing which is embedded in Jesus Christ the Light of the world, Exodus 15:26.
When you have a relationship with Jesus, sickness cannot continue to stay in your life.
It is no news that darkness and the devil go hand in hand.
When you look at Luke 13:11-17, you will see clearly that Jesus Christ called the spirit of infirmity an agent of the devil.
Sickness and disease therefore have their origin in darkness.
However, the light of God can see forces of darkness and deal with them completely.
There was a brother who was going to the USA for further studies and he threw a party before his departure. In the middle of this party, an enemy came and planted something evil into his life. From the day he arrived in the USA, he began to feel a pain in his stomach. All kinds of tests were conducted to no avail, yet the pain intensified. He struggled for six years, taking all manner of drugs until he finished his studies. When he returned to Nigeria, he heard that we were having a programme at Ibadan and decided to travel all the way from Zaria (app 12hr drive). The devil did everything to stop him but he finally made it on the last day of the programme. During the last message, he sat down and as the word of God was coming forth, the light of God hit him and suddenly, he began to shout, “I am free” because the pain of more than six years had disappeared.
I prophesy to you: It doesn’t matter how long you have been carrying that sickness or disease; my Daddy will chase it out today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer focus – Father, please chase out every form of darkness in my life now, in Jesus’ name.
