Inspiring the world
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. (Ephesians 5:11 NKJV)
No more addition
To the gospel
We must believe
That he set us free
Forgave us
And cancelled our sins
He also said to me
The word of God
Will judge those
Who refuse the gospel
On the judgement day.
It is finished!
Nothing else can
Redeem us or save us
Except the precious blood
Of Christ
That was shed on Calvary
It is finished!
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24 ESV)
Bearing the unjust
Weight of sin
Terrible and horrible
He suffered alone
With the whole punishment
Of the world upon
Upon His shoulders
He groaned
He moaned
Endured
Persisted
And persisted
It was worth it
Because
By His stripes
And punishment
We are healed
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 NKJV)
Who can be against us
When the Creator
Of all is with us
We will not fear
Man or demons
Death, hell and the grave
Death could not hold Him down
He is Lord above death
He holds captivity captive
He has the keys of death and life
He defeated death hell and the grave
He fought with death
And won
He won for us
All power belongs to Jesus
All authority in heaven and earth
Has been given to Him
He is supreme
He is highly exalted
Over all things
Praise God!
Jesus won the victory
Over death and punishment
Praise God!
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:15 NKJV)
He fought
He won
He made a mockery
Of death and the grave
The mighty One
Is a warrior
A great man of war
He fights evil
He defeats evil
He loves righteousness
Thank you Jesus
For you alone defeated death
And set us free
God is so bright and beautiful that darkness cannot go near Him. There is nothing good about darkness because it is darkness that breeds every form of evil.
Any evil you see on earth is as a result of darkness. Darkness starts from the mind, when men engage in lies or false thoughts. Any thought that does not agree with God’s thoughts and point of view is pure darkness.
When God has labelled something evil, we must not claim to know more than God by reversing the word of God and claiming that the evil thing is in fact good.
I have met Christians who ardently argue that fornication, homosexuality and idol worship are are not sin. Wow, Christians, not really believers in the word of God. They are in the category of those who say Lord, Lord.
Christ is in their lips but not in their hearts. They actually hate Christ and His word and light but are so blind they do not realise it. This is because the god of this world has blinded their spiritual eyes or mind.
Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. (2nd Corinthians 4:4)
God Himself is light and no child of light is comfortable inside darkness or lies. People who love evil things however love lies and darkness. They enjoy evil and even boast about evil exploits.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. “For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God (John 3:19 – 3:21 NKJV)
Those who love darkness hate the word of God and in some places Christians are targeted and killed, simply for loving the light.
The word of God says that darkness has never overcome light. This is because a place that radiates with glorious light and is light itself has been prepared for children of light while a place of complete darkness and gloom awaits the lovers of darkness and evil.
The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it (Revelation 21:23 – 21:24 NKJV)
There is no darkness in God and there should no darkness or stain in us as believers. Our garments should always be clean and white. The blood of Jesus is constantly available to wash us white as snow and to also provide grace and ability to be victorious over sin and darkness. All we need is hatred for sin and darkness and absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit for sanctification .
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. “For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God (John 3:19 – 3:21 NKJV)
Light is good and it is wonderful to belong to the kingdom of light where light is King. There is no darkness in God.
The darkness beckons
Because within it
Lives ignorance
Which is sweet
To the unsuspecting
And simple
With eyes blinded by the world
To wallow in darkness and foolishness
In darkness, the light
Is a false light
That gives bliss to the soul
Error becomes truth
And truth becomes error
The darkness
Is perverting and perverted
It’s subjects
Willing captives
In the battlefield of life
I can hear the echoes of darkness
Shrieking and screaming
Reverberating in a distant land
Under the earth
Full of grief and pain
Where soul are trapped in
Endless torture
I can hear the Master say,
“Sons of men
Reject the darkness
And embrace light
Come to me
The source of light
And the darkness will flee
I am the light of the world
Come to me
And embrace me”
Jesus
Light and salvation
We want to know you more
Open our eyes
To see your love and mercy
Let your light
Be our constant companion
