For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalms 18:28 (KJV)
The opening Scripture admits that darkness can make entrance into the child of God’s life. Darkness represents weakness, failure, disease, lack of progress, and death. In other words, anything negative could be termed as darkness. No wonder Ephesians 5:11 states “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them”.
It is our duty as children of God to resist darkness from our lives. The Bible says in James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”. Submitting oneself to God simply means doing the will of God in every aspect of our daily living.
However there is good news from the LORD; the Lord being light will enlighten the darkness in our life. He will do that by enabling our spirit by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Any time we are experiencing any form of darkness in our lives, let’s try to use the Holy Scriptures against it.
The Word of God is the light of God, hence where the Word of God is darkness departs. As a child of God, saturate your spirit with the Word of God and your spirit which is the candle of the Lord will light up and give you the victory that you deserve.
Prayer: Everlasting Father, I give you praise, honour and adoration. Enable me to shine as light so that every forces of darkness within and around me will depart in Jesus Mighty Name Amen
