Let there be light!

 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3 KJV

In the beginning, when the earth was without form and void, darkness covered the face of the deep. But then, the Spirit of God moved upon the waters, and God declared, "Let there be light," and light emerged, dispelling darkness (Genesis 1:2-3). This divine proclamation illustrates that light is the ultimate answer to darkness, disorder, stagnancy, failure, and frustration. It is not just any light; it is a profound, overwhelming light that penetrates the thickest darkness. This invincible light is God's revealed Word, the Word made flesh, which the darkness cannot comprehend. Isaiah declares, "Arise, shine; for thy light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon thee" (Isaiah 60:1).

The Gospel of John reiterates this truth, stating, "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" (John 1:5). Furthermore, Psalm 119:130 reminds us that "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." This light, brought forth by the revealed Word, provides understanding, transforming mere knowledge into divine wisdom. It is this wisdom that empowers us to overcome life's challenges and turn situations around. By embracing the light of God's Word, we receive the enlightenment and wisdom needed to navigate through darkness and bring forth divine order and success in our lives.

Prophetic word: I declare that in this season, the light of God's revealed Word will break through every form of darkness in your life. Just as God commanded light to shine in the beginning, His light will illuminate every area of your existence shrouded in confusion, stagnation, and despair. This light will not only dispel the darkness but will also bring divine order and clarity. The wisdom that comes from this light will empower you to make decisions that lead to breakthroughs and success. Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is rising upon you. No darkness can withstand the light that God is bringing into your life. Receive this light and walk in the fullness of His glory.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word that brings light and understanding. Just as You declared "Let there be light" in the beginning, I ask that You speak light into every dark situation in my life. Let Your light shine brightly, dispelling all confusion, fear, and despair. I pray that the entrance of Your Word will illuminate my path and grant me the wisdom and understanding I need to navigate through life's challenges. Lord, let Your glory rise upon me, making me a beacon of Your light in this world. Help me to walk in Your light and reflect Your glory in everything I do. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
