Light and Darkness

Light and Darkness

 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

The earth was without form, and void; 

and darkness was on the face of the deep. 

And the Spirit of God was hovering 

over the face of the waters. 

Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 

And God saw the light, that it was good; 

and God divided the light from the darkness. 
Genesis 1:1-4 

Although GOD is light, the earth that was void, could not reflect His light before GOD began creating!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. 

He was in the beginning with God. 

All things were made through Him, 

and without Him nothing was made that was made. 

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 

And the light shines in the darkness, 

and the darkness did not comprehend it. 

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 

This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, 

that all through him might believe. 

He was not that Light, 

but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 

That was the true Light 

which gives light to every man coming into the world. 
John 1:1-9 

The LORD JESUS lived on earth as the light of the world. When we receive Him into our lives, we are enabled to shine His light through our lives.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 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. 

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, 

and walk in darkness, 

we lie and do not practice the truth. 

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, 

we have fellowship with one another, 

and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son 

cleanses us from all sin. 

1 John 1:5-7 

GOD'S pure love is the light that shines through His people.

Sin, selfishness and fear hide that light, 

bringing darkness into our lives.

When we repent of our sins and turn to the LORD JESUS,

He washes away our sins so that we can arise and shine His light again in this dark and wicked world!

 Arise, shine; For your light has come! 
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, 
And deep darkness the people; 
But the Lord will arise over you, 
And His glory will be seen upon you. 
The Gentiles shall come to your light, 
And kings to the brightness of your rising. 
Isaiah 60:1-3 

Darkness has covered the world as never before!
Fear of sickness, fear of death and fear of  want has gripped the people.
Fear makes people behave selfishly.
Fear in our hearts gives the devil a foothold.
F - fear is the 
E - enemy's
      A - anchoring
R - rope!

The news and the copious information and opinions and predictions of various people flooding the social media can overwhelm our minds giving no room for the truth of the word of GOD.
No one person on earth or organisation or authority knows for sure how the covid-19 pandemic would progress.
Only the Omniscient GOD knows!
Only the Omnipotent GOD is able to stop the plague in an instant!
Only the Omnipresent GOD can be with us in our time of quarantine and isolation!

Let us seek Him as never before so that He might reveal His Fatherly goodness to us.
If only we would take time to seek GOD'S face during this period of worldwide shutdowns, shutouts and shut-ins.
In fact that is the purpose He has permitted such a situation so that people would seek Him.

He has interrupted the plans, programs and purposes of people to bring out His own purposes to fruition.
His ways are higher than ours.

The earth is the LORD'S and everything in it! 
He has all the right to intervene in your life and mine!!

Your Creator is speaking to you today,
The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; 
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, 
and show you great and mighty things, 
which you do not know.'
 Jeremiah 31:3, 33:3 

GOD is love and GOD is light.

Seek Him until you soar above the darkness
and see the light of His face.

 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, 
to give you a future and a hope. 
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, 
and I will listen to you. 
And you will seek Me and find Me, 
when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13

His plan for you is to catch His light 
and shine the light of His love to quell the darkness.
