Have you ever tried walking into a room that is dark because the lights are off? With just one switch the moment your turn on the lights its amazing how the light shine and the darkness disappear.

As Albert Einstein said "God did not create evil, just as darkness is the absence of light, so as evil is the absence of GOD"

In Genesis 1:1-4 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light, ” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

From the very beginning God made it very clear to us that darkness can never defeat light. The reason sometimes that our life is covered with dark situations, it's because of the absence of GOD's light.

As Jesus said in John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

In this part of the scripture Jesus wants us to understand that as Christians, as followers of Christ. We will never walk in darkness. We just have to let His light keep on shining. Yes the road ahead maybe full of challenges and trials, full of problems and pain. But as long as you are following Christ there is always light. From the very Beginning God is very confident that darkness is no match against His light.

The bible said in Genesis 1:3 "Then God said "let there be light" the light appear"

Darkness did not even resist, it does not even fight, it immediately disappear. You see even darkness understand that the light will always be victorious. Sometimes in our Christian journey there is always a part of us where we struggle, because sometimes we doubt the light within us.

Remember the source of your light is JESUS

he is faithful, He is limitless, He cannot be contained, He is GOD. So there is no point in the doubting the light that GOD has placed within you. What satan always do is point you on yourself, your failures, your pain, your struggles, your problems, your situation, etc. So we try so hard to be worthy, we do certain things for us to say I deserve it. Well I've got some news for you, we are never and we will never be worthy or deserving. But we are chosen by Him to be a vessel of HIS light.

Being Christian is not just merely trying so hard imitating Christ because we can never do it by our own works and efforts. We need to understand that His Spirit is in us. So instead of trying so hard to imitate Him, what we need to do is to be more sensitive and Let Holy Spirit start manifesting in us.

Christ likeness is not attain by human efforts, it is simply a manifestation of being constantly filled by GOD's presence.

We are very busy with our efforts and our own ways, but we never even give Holy Spirit a chance to work and manifest in us.

Turn the light on everyday never let the lie of the devil limit you and prevent you from walking in victory. Claim victory everyday and let HIS light within you shine for the world to see.

Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Your are the light of the world not because of your light but because of the light that is within you. Most of our common mistake is we thought that being the light is our responsibility but no! Being the light is not our responsibility it is our IDENTITY

The word of the LORD said that "you are" , not to become the light but "you are the light". It has nothing to do with doing what the light do, but simply to be who GOD created us to be. It is your identity because HIS Spirit that brought light in the book of Genesis is now living within you.

Being the light is your identity, so no matter what your are going through, what battle you are facing your identity remains the same. Like for example your name will never change even if you lose, or fail in the exam, or struggling to find a job, even when you are sick your name remains the same because that is your identity. It is the same with being the light as your identity, what ever situation or struggles you are going through right now your identity remains the same. You are the light, are GOD's beloved and precious possession.
