Topic: The darkness of my shadow.
John 8:12 KJV
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
I was in a revival program about 17 years ago, in Lagos Nigeria and the preacher gave an illustration which I will like to share:
He said "when you face the light your shadow falls behind you, and when you back the light you'll walk in the darkness of your own shadow. Jesus is the light of this world, if you turn your back to Jesus you will work in total darkness." This was an illustration made by the great Evangelist "Reinhardt Bonnke"
Walking in the darkness of your own shadow means all the darkness is self-imposed, and you're walking in your self-caused confusion.
"Light is a natural agent that stimulates sight or makes things visible."
What light does is that it shows the way, without light you don't know where you're going.
John 12:35 KJV
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Without Christ our lives are in crisis and confusion. Take a deep thought about everything around you today are you witnessing a kind of confusion?
You might have turned your back to Jesus the light of the world.
There can be no better solutions to matters of life than Jesus.
John 1:4 KJV
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Engage Jesus in today's activities and get a perfect day.

Prayer: I turn to Jesus the light of the world and I receive light in every area of my life in Jesus name.
Remain blessed.
