FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 1:1-12 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
The scriptures have so much to say about the Light. Our memory verse states clearly that God is Light. No darkness can be found in Him because the light has the power to overshadow and subdue darkness at all times. At the manifestation of light, darkness will disappear. Imagine you light a candle in a place, no matter how big the place is, there is an illumination of light that breaks the thickness of darkness. Evil powers operate and thrive in darkness. On the opposite side, God and His children enjoy the light and operate in the light. Darkness must neither be found in you nor have any expression in your life or around you.

God is the Light stated in the scriptures. Jesus Christ is the life that gives light to men, according to John 1:4. By this, it means a person is dead or is a walking corpse when he or she does not have Christ in his life. Darkness therefore signifies death as far as God is concerned. The Bible goes further to say that the Light shines in darkness but darkness could not comprehend it. Simply put, the presence of His glory is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary man. Only spiritual men understand spiritual things, carnal men cannot because they do not have the mind of God. Jesus is the Word of God that dwells in God and gives life to men by His Spirit. This is the mystery of the Trinity! Whoever does not know God through His Son, Jesus, and have the Holy Spirit resident in him or her is still in the dark and cannot understand the manifestation of the Light.
This explains why many people today are spiritual illiterates because they lack spiritual understanding and cannot discern between light and darkness in that they are spiritually blind and shortsighted. Thank God for the Psalmist who wrote,” The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple” (Psalm 119:130). This is the power of the Light to illuminate the mind of men, dispel ignorance which is a weapon of darkness that holds men captive, and give them the ability to discern and know the Truth.
