RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
FRIDAY, 2ND MARCH.

TOPIC ✨ THE LIGHT OF GOD IN YOUR SPIRIT✨
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly (Proverbs 20:27).
You can never know God except from your spirit; that’s where His light shines. His Word is His light (Psalm 119:105). Job 18:5-6 reveals something interesting. It says, “Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, AND HIS CANDLE SHALL BE PUT OUT WITH HIM” The wicked here refers to someone who’s non-conforming to the Word; it’s the description of a man or woman who’s rebellious against the Word of God —deliberately or indirectly.
For such a person’s lamp to be put out means it was on before, which means he’s someone who had been given the light of God’s Word and he rejected it; he turned away from God. Some people are that way; they forget God; they’ve closed their hearts—their spirits—to His Word. I’m not talking about the heathen; the heathen doesn’t have light at all, and never had it.
Nevertheless, for such people who never had the light of God or whose light has been put out, all they need is to receive the light of God’s Word into their spirits. Psalm 119:130 says, “The entrance of thy words giveth light….” God’s Word brings illumination to your spirit and gives you insight into reality.
Notice that the scripture doesn’t say God’s Word gives light; rather, it’s the entrance of God’s Word that gives light; entrance where? Your spirit! The Word has to gain entrance into your spirit to produce results. Suddenly, you’re awakened to spiritual realities; your path is flooded with light; darkness and negative circumstances are dispelled, and God’s glory and His abundant provisions become real to you.
In Psalm 18:28, the psalmist said, _*“For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.” We read that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, thus the entrance of His Word into the spirit (candle) of the one whose light is out, will give him light. If he’d open his spirit to the Word, the storms of life will no longer obscure his vision.
Fill your heart with the Word. Make it your compass for navigating through the storms of life.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the light of your Word that lightens my heart, enlightening my life. I function in, and by the precision of the Spirit, because I see with your light, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
FURTHER STUDY: Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Ephesians 1:17-19 AMPC [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), 19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

Affirmation,

I affirm that God is at work in me both to will and to do of His good pleasure. The Wisdom of God is propelling me in the direction of God’s will and purpose for my life. My life is well planned by God; therefore, the days ahead of me are days of glory! I will never be a victim of life; never will I be stranded or become a victim of another man’s mistake. The Holy Ghost has made me super-intelligent; He has anointed my mind and given me an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. I have quickness of understanding, and the Wisdom of God is at work in me to produce excellent results in everything I set my heart to do. Life is not a mystery to me, because as I meditate on the Word, the Holy Spirit unveils spiritual realities to me, enlightening the eyes of my understanding to know and apprehend my inheritance in Christ! I live triumphantly today and always because I live by the knowledge of God’s Word. Glory to God.
