5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Key Verse: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7
Message
Light is the opposite of darkness. No one can walk in the dark and not stumble or fall. Jesus is the Light of the world, whosoever walks in Him and with Him will not fall or miss his/her way. One night, Linda was doing her school assignment in the sitting room while her mom was in the kitchen. Suddenly, the lights went off and everywhere became dark. Linda started screaming, calling out to her mom because she was scared. Her mom shouted out to her to come and meet her in the kitchen, thinking that she could find her way there. Linda kept shouting, telling her mom she could not find her way and did not want to fall as she might get injured. Her mom quickly came out of the kitchen, picked the flash light where it was kept and switched it on. Linda was able to walk in the light to join her mom in the kitchen.

As Linda could not walk in the dark until her mom lit up the sitting room, so it is that no one can walk with God without following Jesus Christ, the light of God. The journey of life is like that. You must walk in the Light of God so that you will not stumble or fall. You must become an intimate friend of Jesus in order to be able to walk in Him and with Him. Your walk with Him must be constant, an everyday event so that you will not miss your way. Trust in Jesus, walk daily with Him and be a victorious child every time, everywhere and every day.

Prayer for today: Lord, I cannot walk alone, please help me to walk in Your light always.
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)
