TOPIC: GOD GIVES LIGHT
Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Beloved, I welcome you to another Moment of Daily Encounter! The fountain of life, who is the source of all, gives light! Today, we shall explore why God gives light to His children.
Why will God give you light?
1. God gives light because He dwell in the realm of light! :From our anchor scripture, the Bible said:
1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Observed carefully the clause “dwelling in the light which no man can approach”! It means God’s dwelling place is light. So it is easy to dish out light because that’s His realm.
2. God gives light for preservation! A typical example here is the journey of Israel as a nation from Egypt to promised Land.
Israel being the people of God could travel through desert places because God’s light served as a preservatives to them! No wild life could harass or attack them because God was their light. The Bible said:
Exodus 14: 20. 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.
Observed, the scriptures above, you will notice God did a miracle such that what was light to the people of God become darkness to the enemy by so doing preserved His people.
Beloved, just the same way the people of God were preserved by light is also how we are preserved in our world today by light.
Although in their own case it was a physical light but in our case it is spiritual light. God still gives light today because we are in an evil world and our preservation is important to God.
How does He preserved us by light?
1. By giving us light that illuminate our minds. And when we are illuminated we become wise! And wisdom preserved. For the Bible said;
Ecclesiastes 7: 12. For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Observed from this scripture that money is a defence and wisdom is also a defence but wisdom is superior to money because it will give life to those that have it.
This implies that if you possessed wisdom you have light that can handle various forms of attacks such as afflictions, poverty, witchcrafts, diseases etc from hell.
Wisdom forbids you to take a wrong decision that can cut your life short or do things that could harm your life by so doing your life is preserved.
2. By giving us knowledge! And since light equals knowledge, then to know God is to possessed revelational knowledge of God:
Hosea 4: 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
So, your life can be preserved by the revelational knowledge of God that is at work in you!
To lack knowledge of God is to be destroy cheaply. You shall not be destroy in the name of Jesus.
3. By giving us understanding! And since light and understanding are equals, God give us understanding that can preserve our lives!
When you understand a matter it gives a kind of mastery over that matters and as such, the understanding you have about God and life in general can preserved you;
Proverbs 2: 11. Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
In summary, our God who dwells in light also gives light. And the reason He gives light is to preserve His children in this wicked world. He gives light by giving wisdom, knowledge and understanding. If God preserved the people of old with light, we also need light to be preserved in our world today.
Remember this: Heaven is real and hell is real. The decision to spend eternity with God begins now. Give your heart to Jesus today.
