No More Darkness

Friday 3 February
READ: Job 28:1 – 11; 1 Jn. 2:8
MORE LESSON: Gen. 1:1 – 5

In the beginning, God called light to existence and God saw that he light was good. He therefore, separated the light from the darkness. He also created the sun to rule the day and the moon and stars to rule at night (Gen. 1:1-5). No matter how dark the night that compasses you is, there is still light that can rule it. Light gives authority, and dictates to the darkness how far it can go. Job 28:3a says, …man put an end to the darkness (NIV). This means that no man should be in darkness for any reason. He has the ability to drive out darkness.
When things are not happening the way you desire; when there is sickness, unemployment, lack of opportunities etc, one feels that he is in the dark. But you can bring light into your world and bring an end to darkness by making an effort to shine. God searches and brings hidden things to light.
By understanding you can change things, believing God, make a move and dispel the darkness around you. The Bible says, But there is a spirit in man; and the inspiration of the almighty giveth them understanding: Job 32:8. Allow God to direct you to the instrument He has set aside to conquer your darkness and let His life shine forth there and end the darkness. The Word of faith, the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, righteous living and the power of prayer and fasting are all instruments of terminating darkness over your destiny. Take hold of these items today and end darkness around you.
Several spiritual generals who have gone ahead of us conquered Satan using these same tools and their testimonies are there for us today. They have not only left us an example, they exhort us to follow suit. Paul the apostle is a good example here. After announcing that the he had taught the good faith (2Tim. 4:7), he went ahead to ask us to do same – Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou are also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses: 1 Tim. 6:12.

Prayer/Action
* By the light of God’s Word, I declare that I have illumination in all areas of my destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus.
* I banish darkness from my life, family and business, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
