The darkness cannot win. [ John 1 v 5 ]

The Bible speaks much about light and darkness, now sometimes we fell that the dark forces are going to extinguish the light, consider the darkness, Islam, secularism,political systems,and so the list goes, and of course the other gods of this world, materialism,sexual obsession,pleasure,money.We must not be surprised at these things, because the word of God tells us that men love darkness rather than light [John 3 v 19],that is mans nature, a fallen nature.But it does not stop there, for we further read in 1 John 5 v19, that the whole world lieth in wickedness.It doesnt stop there for we read that there is a god of this world, who has blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God, should shine unto them [2 Corinthians 4 v4 ] . This is the world we live in, it appears hopeless, yet let us not despair ,God is sovereign , He is in control, He is in the business of rescuing men and women out of the darkness, Christ who is the light of the world cannot be extinguished [John 1v5], He will build His church .[ Matthew 16v18 ] [ Father in Heaven, help us not to fear that the darkness will win, help us not to despair, fill us with hope, faith and Your peace ,in Jesus name Amen ] [I will be away for a couple of days I will recommence Sunday]
