FATHER
OF LIGHT
1
John 1:1-10
Devotional:- “This
is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is
light and in Him is no darkness at all.” (V. 5) NKJV
Our
God is referred to as the God of light. He dwells in great light (1 Timothy
6:16). He is referred to as the father of light (James 1:17). He is the creator
of light. In this light is the strength and the life of men (John 1:4).
When
the Bible referred to God as light it interprets quite some things of benefit
to us. It means God is the master over darkness. Darkness here could stand for
the devil, evil or wickedness. The Bible says the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness cannot comprehend it (John 1:5). In other words wherever God
is, the devil, evil or wickedness cannot prosper there. When we dwell in God
and He in us, the evil and the wicked forces of this world cannot overpower us.
God dwells in you when you ask Him to come into your heart and when you are
baptized in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Light
also means understanding and brightness of the mind. From God comes
understanding (Job 32:8). Every man is only strong or successful at the level
of his understanding. It is the correct assimilation of knowledge that produces
wise action. Light also means discretion for direction. The more you humbly
relate with God the more your understanding will be. God gives understanding
both for wisdom and discretion through His word (Psalm 119:115, 130). When you
keep relating with God, the light of discretion will increase in your life. Why
others are stumbling you will keep running and keep advancing. Stop walking in
darkness. Whenever you are walking in sin, you are walking in darkness. Sin
will make you a victim of darkness (1 John 3:8). Flee from sin (1 Timothy
6:11). Hate anything of darkness, they are unfruitful (Ephesians 5:11)., And
God of light will make you succeed.
Prayer:
Lord, shine forth your light over my life and destiny.

IS THE AUTOMATIC SOLUTION TO DARKNESS”
