In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. John 1: 1-2. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3 (KJV)
Text: John 1: 1-18
From the beginning of the world God created man to have dominion. When God said “let there be”, it was His word. The other thing God has given us is His word. All things were made by the word of God. When we are not an overcomer, it means our life is without form; it is void.
Who is the word? Who is the light? Jesus is the word and light of God. When we give Jesus our life we are filled up with the light of God. When your life is without the word of God it is filled with darkness and it becomes a fertile ground for those things that grow in darkness, which is the evil of the world. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1: 12 (KJV).
Do you believe the name of Jesus can save from the charms of evil? Do you believe that Jesus can save? That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Ephesians 1: 17 (KJV). What are the things that God has given those that believe and accept Christ in their life?
- Spirit of His wisdom
- Revelation of his knowledge
- Light of our understanding be enlightened
- Hope of his calling
- Riches of the glory of His inheritance
The sons of Issachar had the understanding of the times, they had understanding. The revelation in the knowledge of God will bless us if we have it. The entrance into the word of God gives light and understanding.
Why is testimony very important in church? They sow seeds of hope! When men hear, they say you did it for this person and I believe you will do it for me! The Lord has done it for you so that you can become a point of reference for Him and for His words.
There are some people that wealth cannot buy you freedom from; principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in high places. If there is no light in your life, they snap you up like a piece of meat. What can free us from this people? Having the light and life of God in our life. Don’t let the enemy take Jesus from you. Once you let them take Jesus from you, your life becomes like a barren field.
It is a cold kitchen that fowls lay their eggs in ~ Yoruba saying
While men slept the enemy came and sowed chaff among the wheat ~ Bible
Let your life be hot this year. Fill your life with the word and light of God. Seek the Lord where He may be found. Look for Him when you are alive. That you have the ability to come and pray is because you are hale and hearty.
In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy!
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 1 John 5: 12(KJV). We should have a personal experience of God, a personal relationship with God. Whatever it is that will take heaven from you, do away with it.
