The Power of Light I

Friday 6 January
READ: Isa. 60:1-3
MORE LESSON: Exo, 14:19-20

The Cambridge Dictionary defines light as, the brightness that comes from the sun, fire, etc. and from electrical devices, and that allows things to be seen. Irrespective of sources, the key facts about light, based on the definition above, are: 1) Light illuminates; it brightens; 2) It allows for things to be seen. Where there is light, groping, zigzag walk, fear and intimidation cease. Light is so powerful that it disperses darkness cheaply. Light also has the power to rejuvenate all living things. The power of light is an ordinance of God to teach men about His power. God is light
(1John 1:5). When God lights the lamp of a man's life, it means:
1. God has simply taken residence in that man's life.
2. The fullness of God has come into effect in that man's life.
3. The man is graced to manifest the power and effect contained in the light.
4. The man is empowered to see what others without lamp cannot see.
5. He has become a source of life and power to many others. Through the man many others who grope in darkness will be helped. Hope and life return to those in distress.
When God moved the Israelites through the wilderness, He gave them light in form of pillar so that they could continue their journey in the night. When God wanted to prevent the Egyptians from catching up with the Israelites, ...the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night: Exo.14: 19-20.
The pillar of cloud which went before the Israelites simply repositioned itself such that it was a pillar of light to the Israelites and darkness to the Egyptians; and as such, their enemy could not catch up with them. I pray for you today, that what is giving you light will give darkness to your enemies. I ask the angel of God to reposition Himself in your matter to become light to you and darkness to your enemies, in the name of Jesus. Those chasing after your destiny to hurt it will never be able to catch up with you. I command the darkness to slow them down while the power of light give you speed for advancement, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Lord , let my light never go dim, in the mighty name of Jesus.
* I command every bit of darkness around me to roll back, in Jesus’ name
