My Pastor says that the Book of Genesis is one of the most important books in the Bible, it's like the brain box of the Bible. I'm paraphrasing.
Our theme verses above is the very beginning of God's Word in the Bible. Here we see the situation of the earth in the beginning, it was without form, void and dark. It must have looked hopeless in the physical, amazingly, the first Word that God spoke was 'Let there be light.' The ordinary man would have started describing how hopeless the situation was and how tired they are of the chaos in the world. However, the first word that came out from God's mouth was 'Let there be Light! When you come across negative situation, what do you do? What do you say? Do you speak light into it?
The important lesson we should take from this passage is that as God's children, we've been created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26). This means that God made us to look, reason and function like Him. God wants us to bring light into any darkness that may come our way, it could be sickness, lack, relationship, academics, job etc. Instead of talking about the problem, we should speak God's Word over that problem. God said, 'let there be light' over the chaos and darkness in the earth. God gave us that power and ability to speak Light over our situations as well. The power is in our mouth. For example, if you feel sick or weak, you can say, 'Let there be light in this body in the name of Jesus, because by His stripes I am healed.'
Describing the situation, giving details of how bad it is will not help but rather it will enhance the ugly situation. Martin Luther King Jr said, 'Darkness cannot fight darkness, only light can do that.'
In this 2014, we are not going to fight darkness with darkness! We will take charge, we will turn on the light! The Word of God is the Light. According to Psalm 119:130 "The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple." Child of God, no situation is hopeless, it is subject to change, all you need is faith and patience. Continue speaking God's Word and look forward to your miracle for God's Word will never fail you.
