Genesis 1:3
“And God said, let there be light and there was LIGHT.”
Imagine walking into a dark tunnel; a tunnel so dark that all you see is your imagination. A flicker of light from something as small as a phone’s torch is enough to cast a luminous glow which expels the darkness.
Light is a condition and not a substance.
So when God said, “Let there be light” and “there was light,” He established an order so supreme and a condition ever permanent; “Light is the only condition that can expel darkness.”
Light also makes a sensible impression on the organ of vision. The light that expels darkness causes an illumination. Once the light is turned on, you begin to notice the rough walls that snake it way into the depth of the tunnel and you see the mangled tracks beneath your feet.
When God said “Let there be light” and “there was light,” He set in motion an opportunity for us to engage our sight to the revelation that “light expels the darkness that covers the face of the deep.”
He also invites us to focus on Him the Creator, as the LIGHT that created light. In John 8:12, Jesus reiterates that He is the “Light of the world.” The world has no light of its own, so Jesus came into the world as the True Light to draw people out of the darkness of the world and into His marvelous Light.
God rendered light visible through the Person of His Son through whom we have all received the light of life.
Having received this Light through grace, we are now the light of the world; A city that cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14-16)
Not only do we command light, we are THE LIGHT!
So when you walk into a room, you need not necessarily speak light, your presence alone must scream out Jesus to effect change to that dark situation!
For you are light! It encompasses your very being! You cannot be hidden.
For you are light, you speak and command light to lifeless situations and it obeys.
That dark situation you are experiencing will give way if you will stand in who you are; the Light of the world and call forth, “light!” And there will definitely be light!
