Title: Applicable beginnings
Subtitle: Seperation
Genesis:1.1-4
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
My mum once told me when I used to be in Junior High School, during Bible study that everything that transcends humanity is found in Genesis 1. I studied it and always referred things to the scriptures. She told me that all the questions and answers to life are found in Genesis.
I will like to share few things I gathered and have understood from then till now. She talked about how I can separate myself from things that do not glorified God.
MUMMY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS APPLICABLE IN REAL LIFE
I gathered that our lives were formless and empty and darkness had covered the surface of our lives and the hidden treasures within us.
God was with us because He created us. We were little babies and because we knew nothing, he brought light into our lives and separated us from darkness.
Another interesting part was when God said that "He saw that it was good".
The word of the Lord said in the New Testament that "the light shineth in the darkness and darkness could not comprehend it".
Darkness and light cannot work together. Even when God created night, He made the moon to shine in the darkness because He knew we could not live without light.
Where I will like to stress more, is the part that God says that He separated light from darkness and saw that it was good.
In our world today, we have two lives, either the life of darkness or light. But the rather unfortunate situation is that most of us are living both and we are unable to separate the light from darkness so we don't know what is good for our lives.
I wouldn't want to stress more because it will be a long message.
What I want us to take from here is that, before we came into Christ we were formless and empty though we had the spirit of God in us, under His grace and mercy.
When we accepted Christ, we came into light and the darkness in our lives separated from us.
The word is separation. Separation means darkness will leave us but still exit. The former things will always be there but we need to know that once we have been separated from light, we should no long associate ourselves with darkness.
The Bible says that' all good and perfect thing comes from the lord"..When we came into Christ, we understand the goodness of God, sacrificing Jesus for us.
I wouldn't know the darkness in your life, but pray to God about light and separate yourself from darkness.
The darkness may be in the area of friendship, relationship, pleasure, job, attitude, lifestyle etc.
It's always difficult to do away with the least mentioned especially when that is where we find our source of shelter.
God says we should separate from them and move into light.
He will lead us and bring us to glory.
God bless you
Prayer: Father Lord thank you for such a wonderful day. Am grateful for the previous day. My heartbeat prayer today is that you may deliver me from formless and empty life and bring me into your light, thereby separating me from darkness. May your will alone be my desire and fulfilled in my life in Jesus Christ's name. Amen
