RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SATURDAY 19TH DECEMBER.
WE’RE THE LIGHT...JUST LIKE JESUS
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid (Matthew 5:14).
In John 8, we read of a certain woman who was caught in the act of adultery and was to be stoned to death. But it turned out she knew where Jesus was and ran to Him.
The mob came after her, and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, for what this woman has done, we’re supposed to stone her to death; do you have any objections?” (John 8:4-5). Jesus said, “Well, no objections, but get started with any one of you who’s without sin."
The Bible says they all dropped their stones and went away, crestfallen. Then in the 12th verse, after mollifying the woman, He made an astounding statement; He said, “...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” What’s the connection between this statement and what He did for that woman? If we understand it, then we can begin to understand what He expects of us.
In John 9, He came across a man who was blind from birth. Again, Jesus repeated that statement: “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:5). And the next thing, He performed a miracle. “...he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay” (John 9:6).
The adulterous woman was at the verge of death, and Jesus stepped in and said, “I’m the light of the world,” and saved her! Then He saw a blind man who didn’t even have eyes, and He said, “I AM your light!” Glory to God! Jesus was saying to them, “I am what you need me to be. If you need deliverance, I am your deliverance. If it’s salvation, I am your salvation. If it’s healing, I am your healing.” That’s the meaning of “I AM.” Hallelujah!
Now, He turns to us and says, “Ye are the light of the world.” Suddenly, His expectation dawns in our spirits! That means as you step out today, a change will take place in someone’s life because of you.
If someone were blind, through you, he could have his eyes restored! Someone who was sick could be healed. A lame person could walk. Why? You’re the light of the world, just like Jesus. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
I’m the light of the world, a city set on a hill that can’t be hidden! Therefore, I walk in miracles and glorious manifestations of the supernatural. I heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out devils!
As I go out today, I’m the solution to the problems of many and the answer to their questions; everything that’s not of God—sickness, poverty, death, lack, failure, depression, etc.—bows before me, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

#TALKINGSESSION
Dear heavenly Father, thank You for the glorious life You’ve given me. This life is at work in every fibre of my being, making me a super-being.
Through the power of Your Spirit which works mightily in me, I’ve become a distributor of eternal verities to everyone in my world.
I am the first and the best of Your creations; I am indestructible and impregnable to the corrupting influences of this world because greater is He
that is in me, than he that is in the world.
My life is a manifestation of the glory and beauty of divinity. I am alive to God, spirit, soul, and body. My heart is flooded with knowledge and spiritual understanding.
I know who I am; an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. I know what belongs to me in Christ. I live above lack, sickness, disease, defeat, and all the rudiments of this world.
My life is upward and forward only, from glory to glory, from faith to faith, and from grace to grace!
I’m reigning in Christ, I’ve got the victory; I’ve overcome the world, its systems, economies, and economics. I am galloping in a perpetual victory parade.
Through me, the knowledge of Christ spreads everywhere; my triumphs of faith effuse the exquisite fragrance of Your glory in every place. And as I live in Your Word, I am guided and inspired by Your wisdom to fulfil Your perfect will for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
God bless you
