February- Invading Darkness
Invading Darkness – Establishing The Light
John 1:5 . . . And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Where Jesus Christ is, there is no darkness. For He is the light, enlightening our life as the scriptures say:
Jn. 8:12:
“. . . I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”.
Psalm 36:8-10:
“. . . 9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light”.
Believers in Christ are the light of the World, and it’s in this light that darkness for all it represents, can be dispel as in the scripture:
Matthew 5:14-16:
“14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”
Much more details of the theme will be expanded in course of the pastoral ministry in chu rch services. However, you can obtain much more understanding in our January/February “Scripture Search Study” – Daily Transformation” – of category search menu theme.
