Light Dispels Darkness

Gen. 1:1-3

The primary purpose of the light God created was to serve as signs and seasons. It was used to fill and illuminate the void in creation and it separated the light from darkness. The light of God is used to dispel darkness from the life of a believer. God promised His light to His followers who are obedient, just and benevolent, and those who witness and worship Him in truth and in spirit. Life without God is life in the dark. There is a reason why God filled the dark void with light and pronounced it good. It is simply because light dispels darkness and brings illumination and perspective. If God had entered your dark world and His light has been lightened in you then the Lord will be your everlasting light and you will be able to overcome the darkness around you and not vice-versa. The potency of God’s light which fills the emptiness in the Universe can shine through you to fill the darkness and emptiness in the world.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: The shining light of God through you will dispel the darkness and emptiness around you.

PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, Let Your shining light illuminate through me and dispel the darkness around me.
