*THE WORD IN OUR HEARTS .*
Sunday, December 24th .
*Pastor Chris*
_*For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).*_
The Lord Jesus is the Light of the world. He’s the Light that shines in darkness, and the Bible says the darkness comprehends it not (John 1:5). This same Light, according to our opening verse, has shined in our hearts, to give us light of the knowledge of the glory of God. What does this mean?
The Word of God is light (Psalm 119:105); that light is in our hearts. That means no more darkness, no more confusion, and no more uncertainties in your life. There’s direction and purpose for your life, because you have the light of life: _*“…I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”*_ (John 8:12).
The eyes of your understanding have been flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which God has called you, and grasp the immensity of His glorious inheritance for you. Because the Word was born, and now lives in your heart, you can boldly declare that the life of God is in you; the strength of God is in you; you’re a success and a victor forever.
Apart from being light, the Word is also truth: _*“…thy word is truth”*_ (John 17:17). The truth lives in you. Oh, such glorious news! The truth is His light; the truth is His Word, and you’re walking in the truth. The truth is that you’re of God, and have overcome Satan, the world, and its systems. Greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world.
The truth is that you’ve arrived in the place called “Christ”, where sickness, disease and infirmity have lost their grip on you. Because you’re one with the Word, you’ve overcome diabetes; you’ve overcome heart trouble, chest pain, cancer, etc. No tumour; no fibroid; nothing of darkness can thrive in your body anymore, because your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost; He lives in every fibre of your being. Hallelujah! This is part of the joy we celebrate at Christmas—the Word in our hearts, and its power in our lives!
*PRAYER*
*Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus. He lives in me in His fullness, and in Him I live, move and have my being. No challenge is big enough to weigh me down because I’m born of God and complete in Christ. I’m alive to God—spirit, soul, and body. There’re no impossibilities with me, for Christ is my sufficiency. Hallelujah!*
*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *John 1:14 AMPC* And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. *||*
*||* *2 Corinthians 4:6 AMPC* For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah). *||*
*||* *John 9:5* As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. *||*

#Affirmationtrain 24th December
I affirm that the Word of God is building me strong every day. I am growing in grace and in the knowledge of my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. All things are possible unto mey because my faith in the Word is effective. My spirit is open to receive instructions, correction, and reproved by the Word. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants after the Word of God. Hallelujah!
I am not where I used to be, God's Word has gained the dominion in my spirit, soul, and body. Like the patriots of faith, the Word of God has made me a wonder to my generation. Hallelujah!
I am not moved by what I see, feel or hear; I am only moved by the Word of God. I am living in divine health always. No weapon formed or fashioned against my body, bone or lungs, ministry, family, career shall ever prosper. There's life in my career, ministry, family, bones, tissues, muscles, tendons and ligaments; I am alive unto God. Blessed be God! Hallelujah!
God bless you.
