WHEN THERE IS LIGHT II
Memorise:
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
Read:
Mark 5:2-20
Message
Light is powerful; it impacts everything it touches. For example, when the sun shines on the Earth, everything under its rays experiences its heat. Likewise, when the light of God shines over you, it will touch every aspect of your life, and your story will change for good. The man Jesus healed in John 9:1-27 must have been a subject of mockery before his healing, but when he encountered the Light, he became a celebrity, as many people wanted to hear his story. If you have not encountered Jesus and given your life to Him, I implore you to do so today, so that He can also change your story for the better.
Sometimes, however, people who have surrendered their lives to Jesus may still face certain negative circumstances, and these may make them a subject of mockery. This is because many people tend to think that something must be wrong with a believer who is facing challenges. Mockers may ask such believers, "You have been serving God all this while, but why is your life like this?" Some believers might even find themselves in situations where people describe them by the problems they are going through. For example, even though Jesus opened the eyes of Bartimaeus over 2,000 years ago (Mark 10:46-52), many people still call him 'Blind Bartimaeus' because they associate him with his problem. In the name above every other name, whatever might be causing people to ask, "Where is your God?" will cease to exist in your life, and your story will change for the better.
In today's Bible reading, just one word from the Light transformed the life of the man from Gadara. His story changed from that of a person who was possessed by a legion of demons into that of a man whom Jesus would send to tell people about his miraculous encounter with the Light. When the Light comes, people's stories change for the better; the blind begin to see, the sick get healed, the lame begin to walk, the barren become fruitful, and the poor begin to experience abundance.
Beloved, I am a living testimony that the Light of the world never leaves people the way He meets them. He transforms their lives for the better and gives them everlasting testimonies. I pray that you will have an encounter with Jesus, the Light of the world, and He will give you a new story to tell, in Jesus' name.
