Text: Gen. 1:4; 2 Sam. 22:29; Ps. 28:9; Job 29:1-4
Introduction
Why was it important for God to have light before He could
begin creation? We know that it is an established fact that He knows what
is in darkness (Dan. 2:22). Darkness and Light are the same to Him(Ps.
139:11-12). Yet in creation; He first commanded light to emerge out of
darkness.
Outline
1. There are various sources of light by which men may
walk. - Rev. 22:5
2. In the tabernacle there was Sunlight ( natural or Human
wisdom) that provided illumination for those in the outer court. In the Holy
place there was the lampstand( written word) that provided illumination while
in the most Holy place, the presence of God provided light.
3. The light by which a man walks determines his discernment
and judgement of issues.
4. Every man must come under the light of life- John
1:4-5.
5. Things come under judgement as there true nature is
revealed under the brilliance of the light of God. When men's life come
under this light we will discover our true state like Isaiah did in Isa. 6:1-2
6. Light is that which reveals the true nature of a thing.
Without the true light, our judgements of matters will not be accurate.
7. When God sort a help meet for Adam, He presented Adam
first with all the animals to see what he would call them. It took the light
within Adam for him to discern the true nature of each animal before him and he
also named his wife after awaken from a deep sleep, this meant his mind was
unfruitful in naming Eve also.
8. Our great need for light by which we can navigate
through darkness is great at a time when various wisdom are coming forth.
Prayer Point
1. Grant us the wisdom we need for every area of our life.
