Topic: LET THERE BE LIGHT VIII

Memory Verse: Psalm 16:11 – Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11
Bible Reading: Genesis 26:1-4

Message: Let there be light could mean “Lord, show me the good ground to sow into” or “Lord, show me the business I should venture into”. It could also mean “Lord, show me the solution to the problems(s) I am faced with” as in the case of the bitter water discovered at Mara in Exodus 15:22-26. In that story, many lessons could be learnt. One is that the physical eyes are good and necessary, the spiritual eyes are far better and more beneficial. At times the solution is right there under our noses, but we may not know until the light of God beams on such a solution. Though the tree that was a solution to the bitterness in the water at Mara was there, they (both the leader and the led) did not see or recognize it until the light of God shone upon it.

You may be a solution to your people, yet not be appreciated to the point of being considered able to help, until the light of God shines upon you. A country did not see the usefulness of a nationalist leader until he died, after which he was declared “The best president they never had”. None of David’s kin was ready to consider him as a possible candidate for the throne until the light of God shone and Samuel anointed him.

In the same vein, you need the light of God to shine upon you before you can choose rightly where to invest your time and energy. To the glory of God, when the light of God shone upon Isaac, he remained in Gerar where he prospered so tremendously that even the king of the land envied him (Genesis 26:12-14). There are categories of soil to sow into, according to the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:3-9). There are soils that represent the wayside; some are good enough to produce in thirties, sixties and hundreds.

We also need to consider the quality of the seed being sown. Beloved, the light of God is required not only to identify the correct soil, but also the right seed to sow. You cannot sow corn in the sea; it would also be an exercise in futility for you to raise fish fingerlings in the desert. One may say these are obvious, but then, that is what many do when they dabble in businesses God has not approved for them. May the light of God lead you from now, in Jesus’ name.

Hymn: Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus
Points: Father, shine Your light upon my life, that I may know Your perfect will for me in every aspect of my life, in Jesus’ name.
Bible in one year: Exodus 22, Exodus 23, Exodus 24, Exodus 25

Title: Deeper, Deeper in the Love of Jesus.
Chorus: O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed, Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word..

  1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus

Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.

  2. Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will.

  3. Deeper, deeper! tho' it cost hard trials,

Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.

  4. Deeper, higher ev'ry day in Jesus,

Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
