CAC LIVING WATER DEVOTIONAL FOR AUGUST 19, 2022 : TOPIC - CHALLENGING THE FIGURES OF DARKNESS IN YOUR LIFE

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH THE LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
 
DATE: Friday, August 19, 2022.
 
TOPIC: CHALLENGING THE FIGURES OF DARKNESS IN YOUR LIFE
 
READ: Genesis 1:1-3
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
 
MEMORISE:
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the water (Genesis 1:2).
 
EXPOSITION
From the biblical point of view, if God is the Light, then darkness connotes His opponent. The prince of darkness hates the God of light, and the children of darkness detest the children of the Light! Darkness and Light are antithetical. Darkness is a lack of illumination; it is an absence of visible light. As a human being, unlike certain animals, such as lions, our vision cannot distinguish colours in a dark atmosphere.
Emotionally, we respond to darkness in various ways, including you with fear. As the brain, out of fear, sends adrenaline to your body and prepares you for a fight or flight situation, so darkness overwhelms you with fear. Symbolically, darkness gives the picture of sadness, stagnation, lack of fulfilment, hatred, haphazard, emptiness, unproductivity, etc. Darkness can serve as a judgement. Hence, God afflicted the Égyptians, who worshipped the sun-god, 'Ray', with a “thick darkness” that could be felt, because God brought judgement upon them! (Exo.10:21-22).
 
Darkness causes lack of progress, and brings chaos and fear into man's life. It blindfolds one! It brings purposelessness and backwardness into man's life. Besides, there is one called the Prince of Darkness, who attempted to bring chasm between God the Father and His Son on the Cross of Calvary (Matt. 27:45-46), but he failed. He strives to enslave man and separate him from his heavenly Father! Therefore, shout, "Let there be Light!"
 
PRAYER POINTS
1. Give praises to God who rescues us from the dominion of darkness and brings us into the kingdom of His dear Son!
2. Lord Jesus, illuminate my life with Your light.
3. Declare the Light of God on every department of your local assembly, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
HYMN FOR TODAY:
CAC GHB 426
1. Thou whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the gospel day
Sheds not its glorious ray
Let there be light!
2. Thou who didst come to bring
On Thy redeeming wing
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
O now to all mankind
Let there be light!
3. Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth Thy flight:
Move on the water's face,
Spreading the beams of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4. Blessed and holy Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Grace, love, and might,
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world far and wide
Let there be light!
Amen.
