Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 20 September 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - Light In Our Darkness
Light In Our Darkness
2 Cor 4:6-10 - For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body
Dark moments are moments of setbacks, denials, limitations, anguish and retrogression.
These are moments that we often find unexplainable as one might not been able understand why you're experiencing what they are going through at the moment or be ignorant of the way out of the dark.
Troubles may come on every side, but we are instructed not to be distressed. There may be confusion, not knowing what exactly to do next, beloved don't be in despair. That situation is momentary, you'll soon come out of it.
Peradventure, you're going through severe torment of persecution at the moment, remember, you're not forsaken, it is for a purpose, Jesus is right there in the boat with you.
Are you cast down, experiencing a down time? Are you suffering affliction and attack in an hostile environment where you ought to have been promoted? I tell you you cannot be destroyed. You're in that situation for a purpose, for God's name to be glorified. Job 22:29 affirm this, "When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person." Beloved, put your mind at rest, God will fight your battles.
Put your confidence and trust in Him. Do the needful. What you ought to do as man, do it, don't leave it for God. He will only do what He ought to do as our heavenly father.
There'll surely be light in your darkness. The scriptures says, "Arise and Shine for your light has come." This week, God will lighten your path, and you'll indeed come out of darkness in Jesus name.
God bless you in Jesus name!
Good Morning.
