⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), ¹⁰ finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:8-10 NKJV

It can be pretty easy for some of us to forget who we are in this day of foolishness, bitterness, and hatred. In this day, some of us have grown tired of having to deal with such darkness as we have had to deal with it all of our life. So, some of us begin to adopt the way of darkness as a means to put up with this element. The last thing you should be doing as a child of God is adopting the way of darkness.

Paul reminded those of the church in Ephesus that they were once darkness, but now they were light in the Lord. Do you believe in Christ? Do you believe that He gave His life for you? Do you believe in His salvation? If you’ve answer yes, I want you to understand that you are confessing to believe in the deliverance that is of Christ. If you have answered yes, then the light of salvation dwells inside of you!

The light of salvation ought to be a light of joy to you. The light of salvation out to be a light of comfort to you. The light of salvation ought to be a light of protection to you. If this light dwells inside of you, then why would you ever turn back to darkness? Turning back to darkness gives the devil and those of his spirit, the victory they so desire over you.

You can combat the darkness today but why combat darkness with darkness? Darkness does nothing to darkness. Light, on the other hand, chases out the dark in every direction. Light is a menace to the dark. When you move in the light that dwells in you, then you are the one that’s winning the battle. So, in this day, we must do all we can to continue to walk in the light, in all goodness, righteousness, and truth! This is what is acceptable and pleasing to the Lord.
