(In Him You Have The Light of Life)
TO THE BIBLE: JOHN 8:12
“… ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
LET’S TALK
Consider carefully the profound words of the Master in our opening scripture: He unequivocally stated that He is the light of the world.
Again, in John 9:5, He declared, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world!” Light defines; it gives direction and beauty, and it illumines.
So, for anyone to live without Christ is to live in gross darkness, utter hopelessness, confusion, and ugliness.
How important it is to have the light of Christ! You can’t even know yourself outside of Him because it’s only under His light that your true identity is revealed.
The Bible says He is the Fountain of life, and our light is from His light (Psalm 36:9 TLB); He is the true light that illumines every person (John 1:9 AMPC), Hallelujah!
If you use the world’s “lights” to define your life, you’ll be in trouble because you’re sure to see the wrong things.
But in Christ, you see the glory of God. You see that you’re excellent and full of glory. His light shows you who you are, what you have, and your abilities in Christ.
The Psalmist said in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Christ and His Word are one. This means His Word is the light.
Apart from showing you your endowments and blessings in Christ, the Word guides you in God’s perfect will for your life, imparting to you the wisdom to fulfil it.
Through His Word, you receive guidance as to specific details about your life, family, ministry, finances, academics, etc., and definite steps to take in actualising your set goals.
The Bible says Christ has been made unto us wisdom from God (1 Corinthians 1:30). Become more conscious of this, and you’ll function with greater insight and knowledge, walking in success, health, prosperity, peace, and strength always!

Psalm 119:130; 1 John 1:7; John 1:4-9
Speak:
There’re no uncertainties and confusion in my path because Christ is my light, my wisdom, and my strength. I’m walking in, and fulfilling God’s perfect will for my life, established in the path of greatness and excellence forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
