This moment in time are going
to take a journey to understand: The Light of The LORD. Then
later on we will discuss: Life through The Holy spirit.
So the light of The LORD
essentially refers to the headway that clears the path for the
children of The LORD to follow so that the way is fully illuminated so that the
children of The LORD are not consumed by darkness. This darkness reigns
on the earth. This darkness can only be overcome by The Light of The LORD; the
light that emanates straight from the throne room of Heaven. For
this light to reach the earth, then it must have its origin from The LORD and
hence: The Light of The LORD. This very deep revelation was revealed by The
LORD to His servant John the Apostle. This is well stated in the book of John
1:1-5 which states as follows: “In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with
God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing
was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the
light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not
understood it.”
This light of The LORD
thus came to liberate and set the captives free; them who were held
in bondage of darkness. So all who recognize their status of captivity
in darkness and thus desire to be set free so as to walk in the light that was
released from the throne room of Heaven become entitled to be referred to as
The children of God; because they embraced The Light that came from
The LORD God Almighty and thus became children of The Light for now they had
been freed from the yoke, the chains and the bondage of darkness. That
is why it is very well expounded in the book of John 1:6-14 which
states as follows: “There came a man who was sent from God; his name
was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so
that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light;
he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to
every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world
was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that
which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who
received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God —children born not of natural descent, nor of human
decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became
flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the
One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
It now then becomes very clear
that the word of God is actually this Light of The LORD that was
given and sent by The LORD God Almighty to set the captives of darkness free so
that they can acquire the new status of being the children of God; by believing
in and embracing The Light of God. This word of God then is God in
written form, popularly known as The Bible. The Bible is
thus essentially The LORD expressed in written form; and so the Word
of God becomes The Light to them who believe in Him who was sent as The Light
of The LORD to liberate and to set free the captives on the earth from darkness.
The entire Bible is thus all about The Light of The LORD; the liberator of the
captives of darkness, him through whom the right to become children of God is
acquired. His name is The LORD Jesus Christ; The Word of God.
That’s why we find David, the servant of The LORD God
Almighty worshiping The LORD by saying the following in the book
of Psalm. 119:105 which states as follows: “Your
word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”
This liberator, The
Light of The LORD, The Word of God had been there from the beginning, He is the
Alpha and the Omega. His name is The LORD Jesus Christ. All
this is well stated in the book of John 1:1-4 which
states as follows: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has
been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. And
also in the book of John 1:14 which states as
follows: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We
have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth.”
This Light of The LORD
that comes to set the captives of darkness free actually ushers the children of
God (Them who have embraced The Light of The LORD) to eternal life. He comes to
bring salvation to those who believes in Him (The
Light of The LORD) and thus essentially ushers them to eternal life in the
kingdom of the LORD God Almighty in Heaven. All this is well stated in the book
of John 3:16-21 which states as follows: “For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did
not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the
world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever
does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the
name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come
into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds
were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into
the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by
the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has
done has been done through God.”
That’s why The LORD through
His servant Isaiah sends out this invitation for everyone everywhere to come to
this light in order to receive their salvation. This is well stated in the book
of Isaiah 2:5 which states as follows: “Come,
O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.”
This clarion call of
The LORD is a matter of urgency because time is absolutely over. So it is time
to put on the armour of Light (The LORD Jesus Christ)
so as to put aside the deeds of darkness. This is well stated in the book
of Romans 13:11-14 which states as follows: “And
do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up
from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first
believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us
put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light. Let us
behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in
sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather,
clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to
gratify the desires of the sinful nature.”
We are now shifting to the
second segment. In this second segment, The LORD is going to help us understand
what it entails regarding: Life through The Holy Spirit.
So having taken a journey
concerning The Light of The LORD, it is very paramount to note that
once The Light of The LORD liberates us from the chains of darkness,
the Spirit of The LORD (The Holy Spirit) then helps us and takes us
through the life that follows i.e. Life through The Holy Spirit.
Living through The Holy
Spirit means that we now live our life to fulfill The Holy Spirit desire. Our soul,
spirit, mind, heart and body are now controlled by The Holy Spirit. So we are
no longer slaves to sin orchestrated by sinful nature. This is well stated in
the book of Romans 8:5 which states as follows: “Those
who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that
nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have
their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”
It is also very
important to note that when we are living our life through The Holy Spirit, we
actually have eternal life and peace that comes through The Light of The LORD
that shines upon us and in us. So our flesh (body) becomes
dead to sin for now we are pursuing the righteousness that comes through the
spirit. This is well stated in the book of Romans 8:6-13 which
states as follows: “The mind of sinful man is death, but the
mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile
to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by
the sinful nature cannot please God. You, however, are controlled not by the
sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And
if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But
if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive
because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from
the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation — but it is not to the sinful
nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful
nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the
misdeeds of the body, you will live.”
It is also very
important to note that when the spirit of The LORD is living in us, then we are
entitled to the status of being children of God (through sonship and
daughtership). So we become entitled to inherit the kingdom
of God in Heaven together with the first-born son: The LORD Jesus Christ. Since
He suffered in order to be glorified, then we too must share in the suffering
so as to share in the glory. And this is well stated in the book of Romans
8:14-18 which states as follows: “because those who are
led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a
spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of
sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies
with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children,
then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share
in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider
that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be
revealed in us.”
It is also very
important to note that when The Holy Spirit lives in us, then He intercedes for
us and teaches us how to pray and what we ought to pray for. And in so doing,
The Holy Spirit directs us towards the will of The LORD over our life. And
this is well stated in the book of Romans 8:26-27 which
states as follows: “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our
weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself
intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches
our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the
saints in accordance with God’s will.”
It therefore becomes
very important to note that when our body becomes dead to sin since our body is
passed through The Holy Fire of The LORD that leads to refining, purification,
cleansing and Sanctification by the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ and the
anointing power of The Holy Spirit, then our spirit-man is uplifted because it
will be oiled (Sanctified) by the power of The Holy Spirit and
thus will emit a sweet aroma to The LORD God Almighty. This will be a sacrifice
holy and pleasing to God. This in itself will be an acceptable form of
worship before The LORD God Almighty; the worship in truth and in spirit. All
this is well summarized in the book of Romans 12:1 which
states as follows: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of
God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and
pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship.”
It is also very
important to note that when The Holy Spirit lives in us, then He revives us by
transforming our thinking by renewing our mind and in so doing directs us away
from conforming to the standards of the world and points us towards
the perfect will of The LORD God Almighty. This is well stated
in the book of Romans 12:2 which states as
follows: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
It is
also very important to note that we should at all times we should always
embrace humility, and no pride and arrogance should be found near us. When
we are humble then we will recognize that it is by the Spirit of God
that we accomplish everything; and so it is not by our might or power but by
The Spirit (The Holy Spirit). This is well stated in the book
of Zechariah 4:6-10 which states as follows: '“So
he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says
the Lord Almighty. “What are you, mighty mountain? Before
Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to
shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’” Then the word of
the Lord came to me: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the
foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know
that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. “Who dares
despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of
the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see
the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”'
That’s why, we find that because
of pride and arrogance, King Nebuchadnezzar was removed from his throne by
The LORD God Almighty. This is well stated in the book of Daniel
4:28 -31 which states as follows: '“All this happened
to King Nebuchadnezzar. Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the
roof of the royal palace of Babylon, he said, “Is not this the great
Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the
glory of my majesty?” The words were still on his lips when a voice
came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your
royal authority has been taken from you.”'
Only
when Nebuchadnezzar humbled himself before The LORD God Almighty and
recognized that it is not by might or power but by The Spirit of The
LORD was he restored to his throne. This is well stated in the
book of Daniel 4:34 which states as follows: “At
the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven,
and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and
glorified him who lives forever.”
It is through the
baptism and the anointing of The Holy Spirit that one becomes born again and so
becomes a candidate for entry into The Kingdom of God Almighty in Heaven. So
The Holy Spirit fills ones spirit and directs them towards the will of God
Almighty and hence one now operates in the spirit because their spirit will
thus have been renewed and revived. This is captured in the book of John
3:5-6 which states as follows: '“Jesus answered, “I
tell you the truth, no-one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is
born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit [Or but
spirit] gives birth to spirit.”'
SHALOM!!!
