Abiding In God’s Light! By Nanyamka Boyer
Good day to you my beloved brother or sister in our Glorious Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, our Very Present Help in times of trouble! It is my prayer that this devotion finds you and your loved ones well and strong in the Lord, both spiritually and physically, as it is not fun being sick in sin and sick physically, which is the result of our sins and the Lord has to correct us. For this is why He tells us, the Saints in Proverbs 3:11-12 "My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction: For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." But the Lord has promised us that He will heal us in Job 5:17-18 "Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For He maketh sore, and bindeth up: He woundeth, and His hands make whole."
And that you are also still abiding in the secret place of the Lord, for the protection and salvation of your soul! For remember that he or she that abides in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, as He promises us, through our beloved brother King David in Psalm 91:1 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
For the Lord is like a hen that gathers her chicks into Him and covers them with His Loving Feathers or Loving Arms. For this is why He wept over Jerusalem and told her that how often He would have gathered her children together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but she would not accept Him. And because of their rejection against Him, it cost them their spiritual eyesight, as He gave them spiritual blindness that they now cannot recognize Him, as their so awaited Messiah, as we read in Matthew 23:37-39 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." And this is also a prophecy for the Nation of Israel and Jerusalem.
So continue to obey the Lord, so you can continue to dwell in His secret loving place, so you can always remain saved, safe and protected from the world's judgments, when the Lord judges them. For this is wisdom and life eternal in God to obey Him, daily.
On this day let us also remember to always abide in the Lord's light, as He is light, pure light and is in the light or in the truth and what is true. For the Lord's presence never agrees and dwells with evil or what is of the Kingdom of darkness, as it does not come from Him, but from Satan, who is the Prince of this world. For remember that we are commanded by the Lord, through His beloved Apostle John to walk in the light or according to the truth of His Word, as He is in the light, so we can continue to have fellowship with Him or one with the other, as we read in 1 John 1:5-10 "This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."
So daily confess your sins unto Him, so you can be washed in His blood and be forgiven. And keep on obeying Him, so you can remain blessed and in His light or Holy Presence. For when we are not keeping His Commandments, we are in rebellion and in sin against Him, as I mentioned before. And this is also why the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:-3-6, that he or she that knows Him, keeps His Commandments and that he or she that keeps His Word, in that person is the love of God perfected. "And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected; hereby know we that we are in Him. He that he abideth in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked."
For this is also why the Lord told us in the Gospels that by the fruits or actions in a person's life, we will be able to know if a person is truly saved or is a Christian or not, as He reminds me to let you know, as we read in the Gospel of Matthew in Matthew 7:16-20 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." And God the Father tells us the same scripture in Malachi 3:18 "Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."
Go with God , have a blessed, joyful and peaceful week, remembering that to the Lord alone we are held accountable of what we do and don't do, for He alone is the Judge of man even through the Judges, He has set upon the earth. And is not worth it, you losing your soul for things in this world that are not of God and of eternal spiritual value or profit before the Lord. But as you fear Him and keep yourself from those that are in and of the world and from those ungodly things, you will save your soul from eternal damnation.
So as the Lord says through His brother James in James 1:27, so also daily do. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." And in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
For it is best to have the Lord, as the only person in our lives if needs be and our salvation, than to gain the whole world, and all kinds of popularity, things and ungodly friendships or ungodly relationships in the world. For the Lord never promised us to give us all kinds of friendships, but that He alone will never leave us nor forsake us, as He is the Only One who is always with us at all times even until the end of time.
So choose wisely your affections, the things you always give your attention to, and have no other gods before Him, as we are commanded by Him to not have. And stay in Him and in His marvelous light, so you can remain free from the devil's grip and his lies!
