AND GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT

And God said, Let there be Light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and divided the

light from the darkness.

Genesis 1: 3-4(K.J.V)

Our father the eternal creator does not play with words;

take note of this: "the light" and "the darkness".

"The", speaks of  a certain character or attribute speaking as a state of "being".

Off course both lights' live!

Are you saying brother that darkness is a form of light?

Yes!!

Without darkness, light cannot find expression.

Without darkness, light cannot shine.

Without darkness, we can never see the stars and the constellations.(planets and galaxies)

When one light is brighter than the other we use the adjective - "brighter" to express relativity in brightness between two or more lights'.

Darkness is a less bright light: one light can be brighter than the other. In order words, one light can also be said to be darker than the other.

Where am I heading for?

Darkness is not the opposite of light, its just a form of light that does not illuminate but possess great and hidden characteristics not yet understood. We are limited of a fact by what is revealed to us by God.( Deuteronomy 29:29)

God once said in the book of Isaiah 45:3  " I give you the hidden riches of darkness". So darkness has hidden riches? Oh, I thought that only light that illuminates could give wealth. Here, God is likening darkness to secrecy,  unknown, not understood, not perceived, not recognized, not observed.

Satan is labeled as the price of darkness; why? His light does not illuminate, it covers and confuses. It breeds death and sorrow; thus many biblical writers often would say darkness is bad and has nothing to offer. In these cases, darkness is used to describe who Satan is and the activities of his kingdom; but in Gods sight and hands darkness is directly the opposite of that used to personify the dark one and his cohorts.

Why bother so much about darkness!!

Because there has been a great mis-conception; it has been abused and misjudged as a mis-creation of God; as if God made a mistake. Nay!! In verse 18 of Genesis Chapter 1; God said "it was good". Whatever God said was good is good and can never be otherwise. 

When God decrees(declares), who can dis-annul !!

Night time is short but we find rest most rewarding at this time.

Night time is short, but it offers the best opportunity for prayer and self re-examination.

Night time is short, as it precedes the dawn of every new thing.

Night time is short, but it gives birth to its child-light - the morning that illuminates.

Night time is short, as it tells of our soon coming King.

Weeping we say endures for a night; but Joy comes in the Morning.

God in His in infinite wisdom separated the two lights' to guide and warn us.

Whenever dark-light turns to illuminating-light, be warned  a change has take place; and whenever illuminating-light turns dark-light, behold also; a change has taken place.

Every new dawn is birthed from the womb of darkness and it tells us: something new just happened.

Be wise, not every change from dark to light is good and not every change from light to dark is bad. Its God trumpet to herald  that something new has happened.

The economic and moral woes in this present age is dark; but darkness itself is a messenger of God. We know the Truth only because the Truth is illuminated by a Lie.

Watch and Pray.

See you again and God bless you.
