"Light and darkness are antithetical. While light is
welcome by everyone, darkness is shunned and rejected. Light is an illuminating
agent. It affects everything and without it, there will be no life. Light is
mostly used
when referring to goodness and godliness. 1 John 1:5 reveals to us
that God is light. This means whoever is born of God must reflect the attributes
of light. A keen study of light reveals many attributes which believers should
endeavour to reflect. One of such attributes is the wave. Simply put, a wave is
a disturbance. Whoever is born of God is light, and because light has the
nature of a wave, his or her life must be a disturbance to the works of
darkness everywhere. Acts 4:15-17 is a classical example of a situation where
believers reflected this attribute of light. Are you born of God? Then your
life should challenge both the works and the workers of darkness. Another
attribute of light is force. Light as a force causes movement or change.
Everyone that is born of God is expected to shine by provoking positive change.
You should be able to cause positive change and movement to the glory of God.
You are expected to be a strong force of progress in your home, family,
community, society, place of work, church and nation.
There is no denying the fact that light is life. Light is
life to both plants and animals. While animals rely on plants and (sometimes)
other animals for existence, green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into
food using energy obtained from the light radiating from the sun. This process
is known in biology as photosynthesis. Every child of God should radiate light
and life, because in Jesus is life which is the light of men.
John 1:4 says: “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
Father, help me to always reflect all
the attributes of light.
