DAY ONE MIRACLE
Memorise:
And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light. Genesis 1:3
Read:
Genesis 1:1-5
1 In the beginning God created the Heaven
and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was
good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
KJV
MESSAGE
We read in the Book of Genesis
that God created the heaven and the earth in six days. Going by the account of
the book of Genesis, we can assuredly say that the miracle of the universe was
performed in six days! I pray for someone using this devotional; by the time
you go through the first six days of this year, listening to God through this
devotional, the everlasting miracles you need for the rest of your life shall
be yours in Jesus’ name.
The first challenge that
confronted the universe was darkness, and this was the first thing God dealt
with. When an individual gropes in darkness, he is likely to fall into a ditch
and thereby end his life. In other words, darkness is potentially harmful. This
is why there must be light; and there will be light in your life today in
Jesus’ name. God said in Genesis 1:3:
“Let there be light: and there was light”
One lesson we must learn here
is that it was when God spoke His Word that the miracle of light occurred. Many
people do not know what they lose when they refuse to allow the Word of God to
penetrate their lives. Those outside the Church do not allow the Christian
witnesses and evangelist going around their neighbourhood to preach them with
the Word of God that will liberate them from darkness. Even, ‘modern day
Christians’ close up their hearts to the Word of God. This is the reason why
many have been in the Church for years and their lives have remained the same.
They came sick and they have remained sick; they came poor and they have
remained poor; they came bound and they have remained bound. What a waste of
opportunity. My prayer for someone using this devotional is that the Word of
God will penetrate your life forcefully today, and you will have
the miracle of the light of the Living God.
When there is darkness, there
will be no activity. God knows this, and that’s why He first tackled the
problem of darkness which the devil brought upon the earth when he was cast
down.
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! For the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he
hath but a short time.”
Revelations 12:12
When there is darkness,
stagnation is inevitable. Also, we should take note of this phrase in the above
scripture; “because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” It simply
reveals that the devil works round-the-clock to get his victims before they
discover the light of God in Christ. So, if you are reading this devotional and
you have not come into the light of God in Jesus Christ, today is your day of
salvation; now is the acceptable time (2nd Corinthians 6:2). I
decree the miracle of the first day into your life in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, send Your Light into darkness of my life today in Jesus’ name.
Bible in one year:
Psalms 144, Numbers 16-17
