Transformation< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 8:12-20, Acts 9:1-9

Darkness is not a place to be walking. It is a place of no direction, a place of eternal death, a place of failure, a place of no peace; it is also a place where fear and anxiety reign and rule. When a man takes the journey of life into the avenue of darkness, it is an assurance that he will fall as the darkness get darker. John 8:12, ÒThen Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ÔI am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.ÕÓ That is all the world needs. The light that will terminate all darkness is the real deal. Paul will testify what it means to be visited by the light of life. Paul was once a shareholder in the kingdom of darkness. He was a chief persecutor of Christians. As usual, Paul was minding his business — looking for Christian to persecute. He moved with permission to go do his business (persecuting Christians) at the synagogues of Damascus Acts 9:3, ÒAs he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heavenÓ With the light on Saul, his name was changed, identity was changed, darkness was terminated, and he never walked back to where he was. The light that shone on Paul brought transformation into his life. He was transformed from the shareholder of the kingdom of darkness to that of light. Do you know if you have been walking in the darkness or not? Be sincere to yourself. Ask God to locate you today with the same light that located Paul when he was Saul. Without light, there will be no transformation in your journey of faith.
