DAY 6: THE CREATION STORY V: THE REALITIES OF THE TRUE LIGHT (PART TWO)

THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY
(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

TOPIC: THE CREATION STORY V: THE REALITIES OF THE TRUE LIGHT (PART TWO)
DATE: 6 SEPTEMBER, 2019
BIBLE READING: GENESIS 1:1-5; 14-19
MEDITATION/MEMORY VERSE: JOHN 8:12 (AMP)
Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Yesterday, we were unable to consummate on the theme of LIGHT. We only discussed on the two lights in verse 14-16. Now, what or who is the light in verse 3? Let’s see the pretext and also verse 3. The Good News translation for verse 2 says:
The earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water.
Eugene Peterson; the writer of ‘The Message Bible’, writes:
Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.
With these, the darkness here refers to emptiness; confusion. And in verse 3, God declared light— making easy to understand and clear. Wycliffe Translation have the ‘light’ as ‘Light’, showing it is a proper noun— a name.
Who is that Light that brought meaning, fullness and calmness? That Light is no other than our Lord Jesus Christ.

ACTION POINT: I HAVE JESUS, THEREFORE I HAVE THE LIGHT IN ME. SO NO MORE CONFUSION IN MY LIFE.
PRAYER POINT: OH LORD MY GOD, I ASK OF YOU THAT YOU PLEASE TAKE AWAY EVERY FORM OF CONFUSION IN MY LIFE AS YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT IN ME.
PERSONAL READING: JOHN 1:1-18

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle

I John 5:4-5 [4]For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
