THE LIGHT FROM GOD’S WORD

“the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
Matthew 4:16
Main Text: Main text: Psalm 27:1

The way up is through light, the very key to success lies in the light you can grasp out of scriptures. This light would engineer and push you to achieving the very goals and dreams God has planned out for you. The Apostle has been teaching on quiet time, this is one way to catch light from the scripture! Without light, man is guaranteed to live in darkness. If you don’t have the light to faith you can’t walk in faith, if you don’t have the light to prosperity, man would live in lack and want. You want to fly high in life, get hooked up on the word of God for therein lies the keys to your breakthrough.

Scriptures say, the people living in darkness hath seen a great light, the only way to see a great light is to accept the Word. The devil blinds men from receiving the word, hence 2 Corinthians 4:4 “Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” There’s a glorious light in the gospel and the key to your success lies in the light you are able to see.

Job the greatest man in the East was a man given to his quiet time and we read how God prospered him. Job 1:5 “When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.” King David as well was another man given to the law of the Lord, he kept to a strict quiet time routine, Psalm 119:164 “Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous rules.” Psalm 63:1 “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.” David sought the Lord 7 times daily and always early in the morning, no wonder he ruled and reigned in his time. You want to be a star, get hooked up to light.

Prayer:

Father in the name of Jesus, the entrance of your word gives light and understanding to the simple, therefore, I receive light and understanding in Jesus name, amen!

Luke 11:34-35 “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.”

Psalm 119:130 “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
