Memorise: And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light. Genesis 1:3
Bible Reading:
Genesis 1:1-5(NIV)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Bible in one year: Psalms 144, Numbers 16-17
MESSAGE!!!
We read in the Book of
Genesis that God created the heaven and the earth in six days. Going by the
account of the book of Genesis, we can assuredly say that the miracle of the
universe was performed in six days! I pray for someone using this devotional;
by the time you go through the first six days of this year, listening to God
through this devotional, the everlasting miracles you need for the rest of your
life shall be yours in Jesus’ name.
The first challenge that confronted the universe
was darkness, and this was the first thing God dealt with. When an individual
gropes in darkness, he is likely to fall into a ditch and thereby end his life.
In other words, darkness is potentially harmful. This is why there must be
light; and there will be light in your life today in Jesus’ name. God said in
Genesis 1:3:
“Let there be light: and there was light”
One lesson we must
learn here is that it was when God spoke His Word that the miracle of light
occurred. Many people do not know what they lose when they refuse to allow the
Word of God to penetrate their lives. Those outside the Church do not allow the
Christian witnesses and evangelist going around their neighbourhood to preach
them with the Word of God that will liberate them from darkness. Even, ‘modern
day Christians’ close up their hearts to the Word of God. This is the reason
why many have been in the Church for years and their lives have remained the
same. They came sick and they have remained sick; they came poor and they have
remained poor; they came bound and they have remained bound. What a waste of
opportunity. My prayer for someone using this devotional is that the Word of
God will penetrate your life forcefully today, and
you will have the miracle of
the light of the Living God.
When there is
darkness, there will be no activity. God knows this, and that’s why He first
tackled the problem of darkness which the devil brought upon the earth when he
was cast down.
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in
them. Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come
down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short
time.”
Revelations 12:12
When there is
darkness, stagnation is inevitable. Also, we should take note of this phrase in
the above scripture; “because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” It
simply reveals that the devil works round-the-clock to get his victims before
they discover the light of God in Christ. So, if you are reading this
devotional and you have not come into the light of God in Jesus Christ, today
is your day of salvation; now is the acceptable time (2nd
Corinthians 6:2). I decree the miracle of the first day into your life in
Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, send Your Light into darkness of my
life today in Jesus’ name.
Happy New YearTo all our Loyal READERs!!!
