« But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day »
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
11 The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12 Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Another symptom of darkness is poverty.
Bartimaeus was not just blind, he was also poor.
The Bible recorded that he was a blind beggar.
Any situation that involves begging to eat is called poverty.
The Almighty God’s plan is not for you to be a beggar, but rather that you would prosper.
For several years, the enemy kept the Church in darkness and pastors began to equate holiness with poverty.
- The devil knows that you can spread the gospel faster if you have money.
I don’t know about you, but in the name of Jesus Christ, I am going to prosper because light stands for prosperity.
Darkness works to make you poor, but it is the duty of the Light to make you rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9Amplified says clearly
« For you are recognizing [more clearly] the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [His astonishing kindness, His generosity, His gracious favor], that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich (abundantly blessed) »
He became poor that you, through His poverty, might become rich.
If you are truly a child of God, carrying the Light of the Almighty within you, I have good news for you: all those who have been saying that you are going to die poor shall be disappointed.
3 John 2 says He wishes above all things that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
If God wishes that you prosper as long as your soul is prospering, it doesn’t matter what the devil may be planning – you will be prosperous.
There was a very wealthy man who quarreled with his wife. She said to him, “I will see to it that you trek (beg) in this Lagos (capital of Nigeria)”. This man was so wealthy that he had more than 14 cars, so he just laughed the threat off. However, by the day this man came to our Church for the first time, he had only one car left and 50 kobo (lowest Nigerian currency) with him. He wanted to buy food with the money but knew that if he did, he would end up walking home like his wife had said, so he decided to just buy fuel. When he came to the Light, the tide turned in his favour. The day he gave his testimony, he was dedicating two new houses.
God can take you from abject poverty to affluence if you give your life to Him and live holy.
Prayer focus – Father, please let Your light send the darkness of poverty far away from me, in Jesus’ name.
