BE THE LIGHT

 phesians 5:8 NKJV says, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” 

This verse gives a powerful revelation about our identity in Christ. The scripture does not say we were in darkness, it says we were darkness itself. Darkness was our nature, our condition, and our spiritual identity before salvation. We lived without God, without truth, and without direction. But when Jesus saved us, everything changed. We did not just receive light; we became light in the Lord. Now the nature of God’s light lives in us and because of that we are called to walk as children of light.

This means that before salvation darkness was part of who we were. It influenced how we thought, how we behaved, and how we lived. But after salvation we carry the nature of light. The life of Christ shines in us and through us. Light is stronger than darkness. Light reveals truth, brings clarity, and destroys confusion.

Many people spend too much time fighting darkness in their lives and families. They pray long prayers attacking evil forces, curses, family patterns, witches, and wizards. They fight day and night. But the truth is the Bible never told us to fight the devil. It said resist him because Jesus already defeated him. James 4:7 says "resist the devil and he will flee from you."

We resist the devil by becoming light. When you walk in light darkness cannot enter you or your family. It cannot enter your marriage or your business or your job. Light pushes darkness away. The only way to keep darkness out is to keep the light shining. Where there is light darkness has no place.

If you want the devil out of your life become light. Do not focus on fighting him. Focus on brightening your light. Seek the presence of God. Seek the anointing. Seek the power of the Holy Spirit. Where there is strong light no darkness, no bad luck, and no witchcraft can come near.

I remember a time when I was struggling with many things. Every day I had more than ten prayer points of destroying things. I fought evil altars, demons, witches, and enemies. But one day God taught me about light. I entered my dark room at night and wanted the darkness to leave. I did not shout or pray. I simply switched on the light and darkness disappeared. It was instant. I could see clearly and move freely.

Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me. If you want darkness out of your life turn on the light. If you want peace in your family be the light. If you want total victory be the light and darkness will disappear everywhere you go.

The same is for you. Be the light. Focus on shining. Darkness will disappear from your life.

Prayer: Lord make me shine with your light so darkness will never enter my life.
