I AM Part 3 : Light of the world 🌍
“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.””John 8:12 NKJVIntroduction Light is the most important ingredient of life.Without it we would be not just living in darkness but we will hardly ever survive.As South Africa is facing energy crisis due to Eskom load shedding, we have opted for alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power, also know as clean energy sources.Solar energy is a free gift of God available for everyone however only with solar system can convert it to electricity.Jesus is also available for everyone but only people who give their life to Him have access to eternal life.Remember the two thieves at the cross had equal access to Jesus but only the one who believed got eternal life.One can increase the capacity to receive more from Jesus the same way we increase our capacity to receive solar power until we are off-gridIn creation “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.”Genesis 1:1-5 NKJVThere we 3 problems that The Trinity Had to deal with:Earth with no form - תֹּהוּ - tôhû -to'-hoo ~{From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.}Void - בֹּהוּ - bôhû - bo'-hoo ~{From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.}Darkness in the face of the deep - חֹשֶׁךְ - chôshek - kho-shek' ~{From H2821; the dark; hence (literally) darkness; figuratively misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness: - dark (-ness), night, obscurity.}“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”John 1:4-5 NKJVGod said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.💡 After saying this, all the issues listed above were resolved.We can do the same today, let’s call for the light to shine in our lives.God created light for us as His children.The earth depends on the light to survive, human beings, plants 🌱 and animals 🐇 can’t survive without sunlight.The plants take our CO2 + H2O > Glucose + O2We can’t breathe without the light.We can’t breath without Jesus - John 1:4-5When Jesus Christ shines on us the darkness have to disappearLight and darkness cannot share the spaceKnowledge of the Word“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”Psalms 119:105 NKJVThe Spirit moved upon the face of the deep and God said… This is how we experience light in our lives.God speaks and light 💡 comes.Light is the revelation of Gods word in our livesImagine a world without lightOur default setting is spiritual blindnessWithout light we can’t walk or drive or work or eatIf we walk in darkness we are vulnerable to dangerA child sometimes sleep when there is light because light drives away fear.Love for darkness 1 Thessalonians 5:4-8 NLTThe world like darkness, they exalt it however they don’t like the consequences of it.Psalms 18:28 NKJVEphesians 5:8 NKJVDaniel 2:22 NLT1 John 1:5-6 NLT
