WELCOME TO FEBRUARY,
2016: OUR MONTH OF DIVINE LIGHTS
Some years ago, an old man for whom I had a lot of respect
told me that in spite of his wealth, he could have been more than he was if he
was not illiterate. While I concede to an extent with this man, I want to point
out here that there is a worst kind of illiteracy than the one we fail to get
from going to circular schools. This is spiritual illiteracy.
The superiority of spiritual literacy over the natural one
cannot be overstated. Dr. Caroline Leaf a renowned Christian neuro scientist
said that scientific discoveries have shown that only 5% of what can be known
is accessible to the natural man. In other words, if you lack divine
revelation, your entire life would be restricted to 5% of light. The thought of
this is really scary! This month, God’s
intention for us is to help us understand the difference between the two and to
take advantage of our redemptive rights to the type of literacy he wants us to
have more than anything.
Literacy generally could be defined as enlightenment for our
purpose. However, if we do not understand the difference, we could confuse
divine lights with the natural. For our purpose, lights or enlightenment are
two kinds; the first which is common to all is the natural enlightenment or
light and the second which is not accessible to all is the divine
enlightenment. Divine simply means that which is of God. In John 1:1-5, we come
face to face with the true light that lightens everyone who comes to this
world. The word translated light in these texts of scripture is KNOWLEDGE. Thus
there are two kinds of knowledge namely the natural one and the divine one.
The type of knowledge you embrace is going to determine what
your life would look like. Today, there is a lot of teaching going on telling
people how to live successfully without including the true light. They steal
all the principles from the word of God to try to provide self-help to people without
acknowledging the true light – Jesus Christ. In natural parlance, this is
called intellectual theft. No wonder the Lord calls the devil who perpetrates
these doctrines through the new agers – the thief. In John 10:10, He said the
thief comes to steal, kill and destroy whereas He came that we might have
abundant life. This explains why self-help can only help to an extent and does
not really do a total work on humans and their environment because the true
light was not involved.
Please understand that except the Lord builds a house; the
builders would build in vain. God’s intention is for each of us to become His
dwelling place where He wants to build his life and wealth into us and through
us to others. The kind of light God gives is only accessible to us through His
spirit if we invite Him to dwell in us. God wants to reveal his true light to
us. This light is not like any other. It is only given to us by His revelation.
He has also given us the Bible as the acid test for confirming his revelation to
us. This is why prophet Isaiah tells us by divine revelation in Isaiah 8:20
that if we are instructed of any purported supernatural light, without
reference to the Law (the word of God) and to the Testimony – The Spirit of Prophecy;
it is because there is no light in them. Remember that Revelation 19:10 tells
us that the Testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. This truth is
further affirmed by the Lord in John 5:39 when He told his detractors that they
should search the scriptures because they think they would have eternal life in
them. But interestingly, the scriptures testify of him, yet they would not
acknowledge Him and be saved!
This is exactly what is going on today; people are searching
for lights in all the wrong places to meet the different needs in their lives
to no avail. Sadly, the master’s out stretched hands calling them to the true
light are ignored day by day as they sink deeper and deeper into darkness. This
is what I call frustrating the grace of God!
However, this month, I have good news from heaven for you
reading this piece: God wants to enlighten you by Himself if you would
cooperate with him. Understand that the light of God destroys any kind of
darkness and delivers to you any kind of solution required to meet any kind of
need you have. In the hospital of Jesus Christ for instance, there is no
hopeless case. It is only in His hospital that a four days old corpse is
admitted and healed and fully restored. No matter what your situation is, there
is no terminal case that His light cannot terminate and He wants to do just
that for you beginning from this month.
Should you desire to take advantage of this offer, all the
demand it places on you is to repent and be converted so that you can receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit whose ministry it is to bring you into your
redemptive inheritance. If you want to meet this demand today, let us start
first by saying this prayer below out loud in faith and you will be born again:
Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died
for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore
declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the
fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you
for this father in Jesus’ name!
Amen.
