TURN ON THE LIGHT

BIBLE READING: PROVERBS 8:10-24

Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom! Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding! Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won't regret it; never let her go—she'll make your life glorious. Proverbs 4:7-8(MSG)

When you lack financial resources; you don’t have a vehicle, you don’t have accommodation; and you don’t have anything worthwhile to call your own, the first thing to get is light – the wisdom and illumination that comes from God. Once you get this, you can use it to get all other things.

When God did not have a place of abode, when He did not have planets, when He did not have angels, when He did not even have a throne, the first thing He had was light. Speaking in Proverbs 8:22-26, Wisdom said, “The LORD created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth; before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world” Prov. 8:22-26(NRSV).

Before He could do any of the awesome things He did at creation, the Almighty God needed wisdom. He needed the illumination that comes through revelation. That was why the very first thing God created was light. “Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light” (Genesis 1:3).

As you begin to draw or fine-tune your goals for the New Year, the very first thing you need to call forth is light. The light referred to here is revelation knowledge; wisdom and insight. You need these to make any meaningful progress. We have studied different kinds of prayers, it is time to engage in prayer and receive direction to execute in accordance with the will of God.

PRAYER POINTS:
•Pray that you will be spiritually and mentally alert in this New Year.

• Pray that angels be released now to guide you and guard you in all your ways all through the year.

CONFESSION:
Lord, the light of your word overpowers all darkness. Let your light shine in my heart and upon my ways.
