JESUS, LIGHT OF THE WORLD

KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 12:46 KJV” I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.”

Our Lord Jesus was very bold about who He was, as well as His mission on the earth. The world has seen a number of people who came on the world scene with various moral doctrines, teaching men about the way of God. There were some of them who taught about these upright ways, and never claimed they were the way. An example of such was Mohammed, the leader of the Islamic faith. There were a few who taught moral uprightness and even claimed, they were the way to life, yet there was very little they demonstrated to prove they were indeed the way to life.

Our Lord Jesus stated without any doubt that He was the way.  John 14:6 KJV “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” Jesus did not show us the way, He is the way. In our key scripture, He stated that He came as the light of the world and anyone who believes in Him would not abide in darkness. Did He prove in any way that He could save those that believed on Him? He proved it by overcoming the greatest challenge to human life, that is death. He was killed under Pontius Pilate and on the third day, He resurrected from the grave. Throughout the period of His resurrection to date, there are countless evidences of varying kinds of solutions that men have encountered, as they called on Him. Rom 10:11 KJV “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”  He said He is the light of the world and any man who comes to Him, would no longer walk in darkness, that is, he or she would be free from the authority of evil.

Up till tomorrow men under the torments of incurable diseases have been set free in His name. People who called on Him for deliverance from, kidnappers have received unexplainable freedom. Clinically proven dead people have been brought back to life, because, people called on Him on behalf of such people. Communities that were under the spell of witch doctors have been freed through diverse demonstrations of the power of God, as the powers of these witch doctors or fetish priests, were overpowered by the power in the name of Jesus. These are documented facts of all time.

What kind of darkness is overwhelming you? Is it a sinful lifestyle? Are you under the bondage of evil demonic spirits or actions that has deprived you of wisdom, and so you find yourself at the receiving end of trouble and difficulties of life? Jesus remains the light out of whatever darkness you might find yourself.

What must you do to experience that light that comes from Him?

  1. Believe that He is the Saviour, who died and was resurrected from death
  2.  Call upon Him, declaring that He is the Lord of your life and that He should set you free from whatever is holding you in darkness.
  3.  Thank Him for answering your request
  4.  Accept you are truly free and refuse to allow the thought or any persuasion of that bondage.

PRAYER

Thank you, heavenly father, for all the mercies shown to me. Thank you for giving Jesus, who took my place and suffered for me. I declare Him Lord of my life. I refuse to permit any other power to Lord itself over me, in Jesus’ name. Thank you, Lord.
