In the creation story, the earth lacked form; there
was chaos, lack of order, total disorder, and lack of direction. There was no
clear cut direction, everything was done haphazardly; void and darkness was on
the face of the deep. To give the earth form and fill the void, light was
required to take away the darkness and give direction to the creation process.
So God created light first. In like manner, light is required to bring order
out of chaos and that light is the word of God, which comes through salvation
by faith in Christ Jesus. Darkness symbolizes ignorance, absence of light, lack
of understanding, lack of wisdom, foolishness, rebellion, confusion, unbelief,
lack of direction.
Light
represents clarity, knowledge, and understanding. That is why light excels
darkness – Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 verse 13. Visibility and clarity is enhanced
with light and greater mobility is assured in the presence of light. Light
gives speed, leverage, an edge or edges over your competition. Light causes you
to excel as you will have greater understanding of what to do, how to do it
better; when to do it to achieve greater and better results – Ecclesiastes
Chapter 3 verses 1 to 11, 17, 1st Chronicles Chapter 12 verse 32 and where to
do it.
Light capacitates you to turn liabilities into assets and assets into more valuable and greater assets. Isaac sowed at a time of great famine because he had the light of God. He reaped abundant harvests that made him progressively prosperous and he was envied. Joseph turned the abundant harvests of the years of surplus to more than sufficient food for Egypt and the rest of the world for more than seven years. Egypt became globally famous for food security and became wealthy in the process. It is light that enables you to see the wealth inside of what appears to be waste.
It is
light that enables you to see beyond the present into the future and helps you
to make projections into the future. Light is a propeller – it propels you into
the future, into abundance, into fame, into honor by dispelling whatever
darkness stands in your way. Light uproots limitations and barriers (usually
consequences of darkness, ignorance from your path and gives you the required
freeway you need to soar.
Between success
and failure is revelation. The extent of light a person has is what gives the
person mileage. As long as a person is ignorant, s/he cannot exert the energy
and the effort required for victory. Light is what destroys the works of
darkness. Jesus is that light. Please
see John Chapters 6 verses 48 to 51, 53
to 58, note verses 51 to 53; 1 verses 4 to 9; 8 verse 12; 12 verses 32, 46, Luke
Chapters 1 verse 79; 2 verse 32, Matthew Chapter 4 verse 16, Isaiah Chapter 9
verse 2. He is the light of the gospel of the glory; the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Please see Ephesians Chapter 1
verses 16 to 25. It is through Jesus Christ that God delivered humanity from
the power of darkness. Please see Colossians Chapters 1 verse 13; 2 verses 13
to 15 and 2nd Corinthians Chapters 3 verses 14; 4 verses 3 to 7.
The prosperity of the soul realm as well as the
peoples in nations is revelation, the light of God which lightens your path and
guides your feet, actions and utterances. The source of revelation is the Holy
Spirit. Revelation fortifies you. Please see John Chapter 14 verse 6, 3rd
John Chapter 2, Hosea Chapter 4 verse 6, Isaiah Chapter 5 verse 13. Someone who
has revelation prays better. That is why personal revelation is very critical. As
I close, I plead with you by the mercies of God to pray for the spirit of
wisdom, and revelation (light) in the knowledge of Him (Ephesians Chapter 1
verses 17 to 19) so that as your understanding deepens, you can pray the light
of God into the peoples of the nations so that nations will be healed of ignorance
and free of the chaos that hinders development. Pray without ceasing.
