LET IN GOD’S LIGHT INTO YOU: HIS LIGHT WILL BRIGHTEN AND ILLUMINATE THE MIDDAY DARKNESS ABOUT YOU!
“At MIDDAY, O king, I saw in the way a LIGHT from heaven, ABOVE the BRIGHTNESS of the SUN, SHINING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13.
“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, to GIVE the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.
When Apostle Paul made the emboldened statement to King Agrippa in Acts 26:13, in respect of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, he knew that it was the illumination and enlightenment — a light that was beyond the huge midday light — that established his conviction in the faith.
And of course, the brighter MIDDAY light that he received was not just the sunlight at midday, but it was of the Son of God, the Sun of Righteousness, which speaks of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, as written in Malachi 4:2, bringing healing in His wings. And Jesus Christ, as the fountain of life, is our light. In Him we are illuminated and enlightened.
“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENCE) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and GROW UP as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall TREAD DOWN the wicked; for they shall be ASHES under the SOLES of your FEET in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine.
“They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 9 For with thee is the FOUNTAIN of life: IN THY LIGHT SHALL WE SEE LIGHT” Proverbs 36:8-9.
There is the need to know that when we let God’s light into us, His light will brighten and illuminate the midday darkness by commanding light out of darkness. This thus indicates that you cannot see, walk, visualise, achieve, and be fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully with God BEYOND the illumination, enlightenment and comprehension you have of Him in His WORD for you in Christ Jesus’ stead. And Jesus is the LIGHT of the world in us — and it is in His light that we are brightened and enlightened in grace to illuminate our world from darkness, as His ambassadors on the hilltop, to give His light to the world about us.
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that followeth me shall not WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have THE LIGHT OF LIFE” John 8:12
“You are the LIGHT of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. [16] Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works and GLORIFY your Father in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16/NKJV.
It is imperative to know that it is the illumination and enlightenment you have of God in Christ Jesus’ stead that gives any believing one access to enjoy the FULNESS of God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace. This is not what SOMEONE ELSE does for you. It is what you have to DO FOR YOURSELF, in order to obtain divine favour. For your recovery in the grace is your discovery that the illumination and enlightenment you receive from God gives access — and this access is by the WORD. The Word gives life and the light that illuminates and enlightens us.
“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” John 1:1-5.
“Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast made me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts . . .105 Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth light; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple” Psalms 119:98-105, 130
The path of the justified — made righteous in Christ Jesus — is by default to shine brighter and brighter on each dawn day, as the scripture of Proverbs 4:18 declares. And to ensure your path, O just and righteous one, SHINES brighter and continues to illuminate, it is by inclining to the sayings, the Word of God. This is important, in order to enable anyone to comprehend earnestly and to fulfil purpose in the grace. And like the BEREAN believing believers, there is the need to search, and to keep being Spirit-led in searching SCRIPTURALLY, to earn self-honour in fulfilling purpose.
“But the PATH OF THE JUST [RIGHTEOUS] is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT [DAWN] Day . . . “ Proverbs 4:18-23.
“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. [11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. [12] Therefore many of them believed; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Act 17:10-13.
Therefore, if you have HEALTH issues, for example, you need to take time exclusively and intentionally to find out what the WORD says about HEALTH and HEALTHY LIVING for you in the New Creation rights and privileges in REDEMPTION. In the same scenario, if your case is MARITAL, FINANCE, RELATIONSHIP, CAREER, GOSPEL MINISTRY, FEAR, DISAPPOINTMENT, BEREAVEMENT AND SUCH LIKE, find your illumination and enlightenment in the WORD for you, in order to be triumphant, more than a conqueror, an overcomer and victorious by God in Christ Jesus’ stead.
You are either triumphing by God through His WORD in Christ Jesus’ stead, or by yourself and man-made religious schemes that are in the world outside divinity. Know for sure and full well that ignorance of the WORD to your circumstances and situations will keep you in a series of bondages and expose you to fallacy of all sorts and such like. The choice to win with God is always with you. YOU ARE THE CUSTODIAN OF YOUR HAPPINESS AND PEACE.
Know for sure that your self-discovery by the WORD will give you such unforgettable recovery; and the knowing and understanding of the process to get and achieve such illumination and enlightenment can help you in getting an answer to many, many more matters of life and godly living without any middle-man interference. I love such attitude, willingness and experiences. It makes me sleep soundly and gives me the synergy to walk with my head up, shoulders high and in high heels of faith in Christ Jesus’ stead.
Give it a go today. I pray that you find the needed light and illumination to every quest in your life, in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

SUMMARY:
The message is an exhortation to let God’s light in Christ Jesus illuminate every area of “midday darkness” in your life, so that you can walk in divine purpose, victory and blessedness through the Word.
KEY POINTS
- God’s Midday Light Is Greater Than Natural Light
Just as Paul encountered a light “ABOVE the BRIGHTNESS of the SUN” at midday on the road to Damascus [Acts 26:13], God’s light in Christ is the Sun of Righteousness [Malachi 4:2] that brings healing, illumination and conviction beyond natural understanding. - Jesus Is the Fountain and Light of Life
God commanded light out of darkness and has shined in our hearts the light of the knowledge of His glory in Christ [2 Corinthians 4:6]. Jesus is the Light of the world [John 8:12] and the Fountain of life [Proverbs 36:8-9]. In His light we see light. - Illumination Comes Through the Word
Your access to God’s blessedness, favour and victory is not by another person, but by your personal engagement with the Word.
“Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” [Psalms 119:105].
“The entrance of thy WORDS giveth light” [Psalms 119:130].
The Word gives life, wisdom, understanding and makes you wiser than your enemies. - You Must Become a Carrier of That Light
As believers, “You are the LIGHT of the world” [Matthew 5:14-16]. We are not to hide it but let it shine so men see our good works and glorify the Father. We are ambassadors on the hilltop to bring God’s light to a dark world. - The Path of the Righteous Keeps Getting Brighter
“The PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT DAY” [Proverbs 4:18]. This growth happens by inclining to the Word daily, like the Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily [Acts 17:11]. - Ignorance Keeps You in Bondage
Whatever your challenge — health, marriage, finance, career, fear, bereavement — find what the Word says about it for you in Christ. Ignorance of the Word exposes you to religious schemes and keeps you bound. Your recovery is tied to your discovery in the Word. - You Are the Custodian of Your Peace and Victory
God’s light doesn’t force itself. You must choose to search, receive and walk in it. Self-discovery through the Word brings lasting recovery and answers without middle-man interference.
CALL TO ACTION
- Let in God’s light intentionally today. Open your heart to the illumination of the Word in Christ Jesus.
- Search the Scriptures daily for your situation. Whatever you are facing, find God’s specific Word, rights and privileges for you in redemption.
- Walk as light. Don’t just receive light — become a beam. Let your life shine so others see Christ in you.
- Reject darkness and religious schemes. Choose God’s Word over man-made solutions.
Declare: “In Thy light shall I see light.”
