Open Heaven 17 January 2022 – Let There Be Light I

Open Heaven 17 January 2022 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Let There Be Light I

Open Heaven 17 January 2022 TOPIC: Let There Be Light I

MEMORISE: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. – Genesis 1:3

READ: James 1:17 (KJV)

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 49-Exodus 1

Open Heaven 17 January 2022 MESSAGE:

“Let there be light” could mean “Let the darkness of sin disappear” because sin is a terrible form of Darkness. No one can possess the pure light except from God, the Father of lights. The reason is that man was sold to the darkness of sin as a result of the fall at Eden. However, God provided salvation for mankind through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. This is why the Bible Says:

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” – John 8:12

The above Scripture simply means that the cure for the darkness of sin is Jesus Christ. Have you been wallowing in the darkness of sin? This new year can make the difference if you will accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour – believing in salvation by His blood (Matthew 1:21). You may claim to have Jesus as your Saviour but have you surrendered to His Lordship? Give the totality of your life to Him today and allow Him to take charge of everything that concerns you (Matthew 11:28-29).

One important thing to do in order to step out of darkness is to confess one’s sins and surrender all to Jesus Christ. The Bible says that if we say we have no sin we are just deceiving Ourselves (1 John 1:8), but if we will swallow our pride, confess and decide to forsake our sins, God will forgive us meaning that the light of God will overshadow us.

One sign that indicates we have God’s light in us is when we shine, and we cannot shine with sin dwelling within us. We are only able to shine when Jesus rules over our lives. Jesus is the Light and those who live by His standards have His light within them. This is why Jesus Christ instructs genuine disciples to shine the light which they possess (Matthew 5:16).

I pray that the light of God will shine upon your life and there shall be no iota of darkness harassing you anymore in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 17 January 2022 PRAYER POINT:

Father please let Your light shine Upon Me and deliver me from the power of the darkness of sin in Jesus name

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
