FAITH CAPSULE: The amount of light one carries is what will determine one’s progress navigating the world.

John 1:1-18

The word of God is wisdom. The Bible states, “For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.” (Ecclesiastes 7:12) Also, the word of God is light. It is written in Psalm 119:130 “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” The point here is that, wisdom is the word of God and the word of God is light. Going by the scriptural verses above, the word of God (wisdom) which is identified as a defense must have a place inside of every believer of the word of God before it can work as a defense.
Without any doubt, it is certain that the amount of light one carries is what will determine one’s progress navigating the world that is clouded with darkness and wickedness. For any man to progress navigating the world of darkness, man must be carrying a brighter light that is enough to keep man from falling. However, attempting to navigate the world of darkness with dim or no light is equal to taking an avenue to fall. How bright is the light that you carry inside? In another word, the question is how much of God’s word (wisdom) do you carry inside of you?
For every believer that desires to live to the fulfillment of God’s divine agenda, the word of God (wisdom or light) that is carried must be enough to terminate confronting darkness. Darkness must be approached, confronted and exposed because it is not supposed to be reigning over light. It is written, “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:5) How bright is the light in you? “Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’” (John 8:12) Jesus, the living Word of God is the Light that we need in order to take our journey to the next level without any delay or fear of any confrontation in this dark and wicked world.
The Word of God that was in the beginning with God (John 1:2) is the same Light of God. The Book of John 1:3-5 describes Him, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehendit.” The above verse is the reason why you have to be carrying a very reasonable amount of light inside you. Wisdom (the Word of God) isthe true defense which gives light to every man when navigating the wicked world of darkness.

Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will have a place in you.
