In Him was
life; and the life was the light of men. The light shineth in the darkness; and
the darkness comprehended it not. Jn.1:4-5
I was listening to a
message by Bishop David Oyedepo one day when I heard this statement from him: “The dominion of light over darkness is
instant and unquestionable”. I consider this very insightful and useful for
our understanding the word that the Lord has graciously given to us in this
month of October being the tenth month of this year. Dr. Myles Munroe of
blessed memory said the word translated light in our text scripture originally
means knowledge. When we put the thoughts of these two great minds together, we
can say that in any area one is ignorant, he or she is in darkness. When the
ignorance is resolved by knowledge, light comes to take away the ignorance of
its victim providing the much needed solution.
Clearly, from the
beginning of this year, there are many people who have been perplexed by the
occurrences of the year over the previous months and have been wondering if
there is no end to their darkness. For anyone in this situation today, I have
good news for you; God’s word to us is that this month, you shall be
enlightened in any area of life you have been in darkness if you will take the
journey with Him.
The Lord’s desire for
us this month is that we receive His light. No matter what your challenge has
been, this month of Divine lights, God will enlighten your darkness and bring
you the much needed solution to all your issues for His glory.
How does God give us light? We are told in Psalm 119:130 that the entrance of
the word of God into our souls gives light and it gives understanding unto the
simple. In other words, it delivers the ignorant from their struggles born out
of lack of knowledge. Sadly, there are all kinds of knowledge known to people
as lights. As a matter of fact, what some people call light is gross darkness.
[Mt.6:23] This is why the Lord lets us understand that if the light in you is
darkness, how great is that darkness. To our question again, how does God give
us light? The Lord answers this question in John 6:63 when He said it is the
Spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits us nothing and that the words which
He speaks to us are Spirit and life. Thus hearing God speak to you is what will
eliminate your darkness and bring you to the place where you will reign over
your ignorance and experience liberty resulting in unspeakable joy. See
Jn.15:11.
In light of the
foregoing therefore, we shall be taking advantage of God’s promise to us in
John 10:27-29 that His sheep hears His voice and they follow Him and a
stranger’s voice they would not follow. In fact He firms that promise up by
saying we would run away from strangers and that we would not follow strangers
and that none can pluck us away from His hands because the Father who gave us
to Him is greater than all!!!. We shall therefore be looking at a series I want
to title: “Hearing and Following the
voice of God” This is the way we grow to cultivate intimacy with the Holy
Spirit and are even established in faith more and more by the day. We shall see
whether God still speaks to people or not and how He speaks and guides and how
we get to know whether the leading we are getting is of God or not.
As we saw earlier,
God’s leading is restricted to His own in which case, He is not obligated to
guide others except they repent and belong to Him. If you wish to belong to his
family today, you can take advantage of this opportunity by saying the
following prayer out loud in faith and you will become born again and be
opportune to be led by His Spirit:
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.
