From Darkness To Light
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should
shew forth the praises of him who hath called you
out of darkness into his marvellous light
(1 Peter 2:9).
God always has a purpose for what He does;
He doesn’t just do things. For example,
He didn’t just bring you out of darkness, He also
transferred you into His marvellous light. Always, He
brings you out, to bring you in. Colossians 1:13 says,
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear
Son.”
Did you notice He didn’t just deliver you from
the power of darkness? That alone would have been
wonderful, but He went a step further to catapult you
to the Kingdom of His love-son. Thus, our opening
scripture above reveals your present location: God’s
marvellous light; His awe-inspiring light! That’s your
domicile; therefore, no darkness in your life.
It brings to mind the words of Jesus in John 8:12.
He said, “…he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life.” We’re the
children of Light, dwelling in the Light, and the Lord is
the father of lights (James 1:17).
Darkness represents sin, death, evil and all the
negativities associated with Satan. You’ve been
brought out of all that, including sickness, disease,
depression, poverty, frustrations, etc., into the gracious
and glorious life in Christ; the liberty of the sons of God.
2 Corinthians 4:6 says, “For God, who commanded
the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our
hearts….”
We see by Him; He’s our light. Speaking
prophetically, the psalmist, in Psalm 36:9 says, “For
with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light.” You dwell in God’s light, in His Kingdom of
light, where you reign over darkness, manifesting the
virtues and excellence of Almighty God.
Prayer
My life is for the glory of God. I’ve been divinely commissioned
to display the virtues and perfections of divinity. I manifest
the power and excellence of Christ to everyone in my world.
Thank you blessed Lord, for bringing me out of darkness into
the glorious liberty of the sons of God, where I reign and rule in
life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
