When you feast on God’s word, you are feasting on light but it’s the unfolded state of God’s word that causes the activation of that light in your life as a believer.
John 8:12; Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
In John 1: 14, we know that Jesus says, “He is the word of God that was made flesh”.
-Meaning that Jesus is the human embodiment of God’s word. But not only that Jesus who is the word of God made flesh is also the true Light of the world and whoever follows him will have the light of life
– So to re-emphasise; Jesus is the word and that word is also the light of God
But how do we get this Light of God’s word (Jesus) to shine in our lives?
-Just because you have a bulb does not mean you have light. You may have a capacity for light but until something is activated/switched on that bulb remains at the realm of capacity for light
-So what is it that you need to do to move from capacity of the light of God’s word to God’s word shining in your life?
Foundation Principle: you need the “unfolded state” of God’s word for the light of God’s word to bring illumination into your life. You need the “unfolded state” of God’s word for the Light of God to bring manifestation.
-Except a gift wrapper is unfolded you will never know the true worth of a gift you are given.
-And as long as that gift remains folded in its gift wrap that gift is subject to misuse, abuse and redundancy because have no clue about the value of the gift given you and so in the same manner you will never be able to enjoy the beauty of God’s word except it is unfolded
Psalm 119:130. The unfolding of Your [glorious] words give light; Their unfolding gives understanding to the simple (childlike). AMP
- Notice that it is the unfolding state of God’s word that gives light. As long God’s word is “folded” in your spirit we cannot enjoy or utilise that light in God’s word but when we “unfold“ His word light is released and then it brings illumination and manifestation in our lives
- In that same verse we are thought another principle in the 2nd part of that verse which is this; that the unfolding of God’s word is the dynamic state that gives understanding (i.e., the ability to discern, the ability to perceive, the ability to know or become spiritually intuitive.
-It is the unfolded state of God’s word in a man that takes him to that realm of being spiritually intuitive, just like Jesus when he saw the woman with a bent back, knew this was not a problem of low calcium and phosphorous in the blood but a demonic attack and so he said woman be thou loosed.
-When you truly have God’s word unfolded in you, when you see problems, you don’t see it the way men see it but the way God see’s it and that is the key to victory.
-It is the unfolded state of God’s word that makes you understand that this life we are living is spiritual and the flesh conveys no advantage (for example sheer muscle strength or will power on their own cannot heal cancer except backed up with a spiritual dimension. And it is God’s word that gives us access and authority in the spiritual dimension to change things)
- It is the unfolded state of God’s word which brings light that lights up (ignites) your life
-John 1:9 (That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.) KJV.
-So God’s word (which is Jesus) wants to light up or ignite your life with His Light.
-So you may say what does this principle mean?
-Understand this, that God’s light had to come to the world and deliver man because of the wicked agenda of darkness.
-We are told in Genesis chapter 1; that darkness covered the whole earth and the resultant effect was chaos, ugliness.
-Therefore, the assignment of darkness is to cause pain, sickness, backwardness, failure, disfavour, untimely death and ultimately spiritual death.
-That is why Light had to come through Jesus (The Word), to first restore man back to God and then to lead you to your blessings and help you recover what you have lost.
-To understand what can happen when God’s light (which is His word) has lighted you; let’s take a look at the parable of the lost coin (Luke 15:8-10).
-But I will focus on vs 8; “Or what woman, having ten silver [a]coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
Notice that the first thing the woman does when she has come to the realisation that one her silver coins is missing is to first light a lamp because no matter how hard you search for an object in pitch darkness you are most likely not to find it and even end up damaging or breaking more things in the process because you cannot see.
-Your ability to perceive, Your ability to unravel mysteries is either greatly reduced in darkness or impossible
-This is why some homes are in trouble. Yes, the husband knows something is not working in the home and he goes ahead to solve it without the revelation of God’s word in his heart, they end up doing things by the flesh and make matters worse.
– But you see when you make God’s word light up your life, destiny & family it may take time sometimes but I guarantee you that you will certainly recover all that you have lost with interest. (Please check out part-2 of this article)
