Development Takes Place in the Dark The Kingdom Key of Light & Darkness

READ | Psalm 137:11-16

“What I tell you in darkness, speak in light: and what I whisper in your

ears, preach on the rooftops Matthew 10::27

Darkness in the scriptures is often associated with sin, iniquity, transgressions, trespasses, abominations, wickedness, and unrighteousness (Acts 26:18). Over the past few days, we have learned that darkness also symbolizes the good that is not apparent to us. We now also understand that ignorance can be abated through stillness, meditation, mindfulness, and breathing.

In Jesus’ teachings, there is a third illustration of darkness, development. Zygotes, embryos, and fetuses develop their internal and external organs in the darkness of their mothers’ womb. When babies are born their eyes must adjust to the light because they have been growing in darkness for nine months. Some of the most beautiful photographs were developed in dark rooms. Any bit of light before the film was fully developed ruins the picture. Most plants also grow underground. The process of germination takes place under the dirt. It often appears to the naked eye that nothing is happening until we see a sprout above ground.

Give yourself permission to develop at your own pace. Remember, there is a divine order in the universe. Everything is happening exactly the way that it is supposed to happen, even the darkness. Do not forget that there is a divine timing in the universe. Everything is happening exactly when it is supposed to happen, even the time that it takes for the light to appear. Remind yourself of the truth that there is divine placement in the universe. You are exactly where you are supposed to be in every area of your life, even if it is in darkness.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...
