Light For Our Dark World
THE LAMP DEVOTION
John 1:6-10
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him
The Apostle John wrote about John the Baptist, that he came to bear witness to the Light. He goes on to say that the Light John came to bear witness to enlightens every man that comes in the world.
Remember prior to Jesus coming, Isaiah had prophesied that the people who sat in darkness had seen a great light. Isaiah was referring to Jesus Christ our Lord. Again, it is the same Apostle John who quoted Jesus when Jesus referred to Himself as the Light of the world. What makes Jesus the Light of the world?
The manifestation of Jesus as the Light of the world is two-fold. He is the Light that dispels all the spiritual darkness that keeps people in bondage. This deals with the power of the devil in people’s lives so they can worship God more freely.
On the other hand, Jesus’ coming also marked the awakening of knowledge in the world. Suffice it to say that the discoveries and inventions after His death by far exceeds those that happened before His death. This cannot be a coincidence. He indeed came as the Light to shine in our dark world.
Allow God’s light to shine in your heart and you will not walk in darkness anymore.
Prayer
1. Thank God for shedding His light to dispel the darkness that was in your heart.
2. Pray that you will continue to walk in the Light that shines in your heart.
3. Father, please help me live as a child of the Light, shunning all darkness.
Declarations
I declare that I am a child of Light because Jesus has shed His light in my heart. I may have walked in darkness in time past, but it is a new day for me. I no longer have a part in the unfruitful works of darkness. My testimony as a child of the Light shall go ahead of me everywhere I go. I shall be a vessel for God to shine His Light to all men around me in the name of Jesus.
