FOCUS ON THE LIGHT

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 John 8:12

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness but have the light of life.

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 121:1-8; John 1:1-18; Acts 20:32

The Word of God is the wisdom of God and the wisdom of God is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came into this world to bring light to everyone who believes in Him. The light is meant to shine upon your life and to also in you. When you accept this light, you will also let it shine in the world. Once you have received this light, and you let it shine, you reveal the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in your life and there is no room for darkness. Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” You will not have time to focus on the dark or to dwell on the evil of the world but your focus is on Jesus Christ who is the true light. At times you may be distracted from focusing on the light due to problems which you may face, and even temptations. But if you really know how precious it is to receive the light of Jesus Christ, you will not let anything distract you from focusing on Him. When the Light enters into your heart, darkness moves out, fear gives way to faith and confusion gives way to direction. Psalm 119:105 says, Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light to my path.” As long as you focus on Jesus Christ, He will lighten every area of your life and there will not remain an inch of darkness in you. When light is illuminated in your life, there is life. The life that comes from Jesus Christ will cause every negative situation you may face to bow down at His name. Further evidence that you are now in the light of Jesus Christ is that even your vocabulary will be transformed. There will no longer be any word of curse in your vocabulary. Have you ever thought of it that there are certain words of insulting or cursing which those in the darkness use in their vocabulary which you will never find in the Word of God. Why is this so? This is because the Word of God is the light of every believer. This Word proceeds from the light and this light is Jesus Christ and hence there is no darkness in Christ. The nine virtues of the fruit of the Spirit are the characteristics of Jesus Christ, love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is why even when they nailed Him to the Cross, no curse was ever released from His mouth. It is also the same with you, once you have received Jesus Christ into your life, your words become His words and they will be light. You will only release blessings. As you take in more and more of the Word therefore, your light will also grow bigger and bigger, brighter and brighter and darkness will no longer have any dominion over you. So, from today focus on the Word of God that will build you up into the likeness of Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, l thank You for showing me where to focus, where Your true light is. Help me to never lose focus, and I do not want to be distracted by anything. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.
