GOD GIVES [SHINES] LIGHT OUT OF\u00a0THE\u00a0MIDST OF DARKNESS: GOD DOES NOT GIVE [SHINES] LIGHT UPON DARKNESS!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Then\u00a0spake\u00a0Jesus again unto\u00a0them, saying, I AM\u00a0THE\u00a0LIGHT of\u00a0the\u00a0world: he that FOLLOWETH me shall NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT OF LIFE”<\/i>\u00a0John 8:12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0beauty of our REDEMPTION is that light has TRIUMPH over darkness. And Jesus is our light and lighthouse indeed. And in Him, we can walk in\u00a0the\u00a0light of God, in Christ Jesus, in our redemption in Him. God is not saying He will shine LIGHT upon our darkness or in our darkness but will bring FORTH light OUT OF OUR DARKNESS as He did in our redemption through Christ Jesus; much more as He did in creation wherein DARKNESS beseech\u00a0the\u00a0EARTH.\u00a0The\u00a0Consequence of that darkness made\u00a0the\u00a0earth to be without form and void. But God abhors darkness, hence He ordered light to shine fourth OUT OF THAT DARKNESS. And\u00a0light\u00a0came FORTH. And light is superior to any level of darkness, for darkness can NEVER\u00a0comprehend,\u00a0overtake,\u00a0overpower or breakdown any form or levels of light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God, who commanded\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, to give\u00a0THE\u00a0LIGHT OF\u00a0THE\u00a0KNOWLEDGE of\u00a0the\u00a0glory of God in\u00a0the\u00a0FACE OF JESUS CHRIST”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 4:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“In\u00a0the\u00a0beginning God created\u00a0the\u00a0heaven and\u00a0the\u00a0earth. 2 And\u00a0the\u00a0EARTH was WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON\u00a0the\u00a0face of\u00a0the\u00a0deep. And\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of God moved upon\u00a0the\u00a0face of\u00a0the\u00a0waters. 3 And God said,\u00a0Let\u00a0there be LIGHT: and\u00a0there was light. 4 And God\u00a0saw\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT, that it was good: and God divided\u00a0the\u00a0light from\u00a0the\u00a0DARKNESS. 5 And God called\u00a0the\u00a0light Day, and\u00a0the\u00a0darkness he called Night. And\u00a0the\u00a0evening and\u00a0the\u00a0morning were\u00a0the\u00a0first day”<\/i>\u00a0Genesis 1:1-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And by God’s eternal WORD, you can emancipate yourself with God’s light to brighten up your life from any form and void of darkness. For God’s word is a lamp (insight) unto our feet and a light (foresight) unto our path of doing life. And\u00a0the\u00a0entrance of God’s WORD into our being brightens up our life daily with understanding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . . 130\u00a0The\u00a0ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto\u00a0the\u00a0simple”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 119:105, 130.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“In\u00a0the\u00a0beginning was\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD, and\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD was with God, and\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD was God. 2\u00a0The\u00a0same was in\u00a0the\u00a0beginning with God. 3 All things were made by\u00a0him;\u00a0and without him was not\u00a0any thing\u00a0made that was made. 4 In him was life; and\u00a0the\u00a0life was\u00a0the\u00a0light of men. 5 And\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; and\u00a0the\u00a0DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT”<\/i>\u00a0John 1:1-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And by Jesus in you, who is\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT in you,\u00a0the\u00a0path of you,\u00a0the\u00a0JUSTIFIED and RIGHTEOUS person in Christ Jesus, can now shine\u00a0brighter and brighter\u00a0until your day is dawn with God in LIFE and GODLINESS in\u00a0the\u00a0grace.\u00a0For He is\u00a0the\u00a0fountain of life, and in His light, we shine out His light to illuminate\u00a0the\u00a0world out of darkness in\u00a0the\u00a0grace\u00a0of\u00a0redemption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But\u00a0the\u00a0PATH OF\u00a0THE\u00a0JUST is\u00a0as\u00a0the\u00a0SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE AND MORE unto\u00a0the\u00a0perfect day”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For with You is\u00a0the\u00a0FOUNTAIN of life [the\u00a0fountain of life-giving water]; In Your LIGHT we SEE light”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 36:9\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“You ARE\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT of [Christ to]\u00a0the\u00a0world. A city set on a hill CANNOT be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives LIGHT to all who ARE in\u00a0the\u00a0house. 16 Let your light SHINE before men in such a way that\u00a0they may see your\u00a0good deeds\u00a0and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] GLORIFY your Father who is in heaven”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 5:14-16\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray that you SHINE FORTH IN\u00a0THE\u00a0LIGHT of God’s GRACE in you, which is Christ and of Christ out of EVERY NOTABLE DARKNESS you are locked down with at this very moment, in Jesus precious name. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ye ARE\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0world. A city that is set on\u00a0an\u00a0hill cannot be\u00a0hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in\u00a0the\u00a0house. 16 Let your LIGHT so SHINE before men, that\u00a0they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 5:14\u201316.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God, who commanded\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, to give\u00a0THE\u00a0LIGHT OF\u00a0THE\u00a0KNOWLEDGE of\u00a0the\u00a0glory of God in\u00a0the\u00a0FACE OF JESUS CHRIST”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 4:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But\u00a0the\u00a0PATH OF\u00a0THE\u00a0JUST is\u00a0as\u00a0the\u00a0SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE AND MORE unto\u00a0the\u00a0perfect day”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“In\u00a0the\u00a0beginning was\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD, and\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD was with God, and\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD was God. 2\u00a0The\u00a0same was in\u00a0the\u00a0beginning with God. 3 All things were made by\u00a0him;\u00a0and without him was not\u00a0any thing\u00a0made that was made. 4 In him was life; and\u00a0the\u00a0life was\u00a0the\u00a0light of men. 5 And\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; and\u00a0the\u00a0DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT”<\/i>\u00a0John 1:1-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUMMARY:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0message\u00a0emphasises\u00a0that God shines light out of darkness, not upon it. Jesus Christ is\u00a0the\u00a0Light of\u00a0the\u00a0world, and through Him, we can shine His light to illuminate\u00a0the\u00a0world.\u00a0The\u00a0beauty of redemption is that light has\u00a0triumphed\u00a0over darkness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
