II Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine unto them.
Our scripture text makes a profound statement as it relates to the
god-Satan of this world and how he has blinded the minds of the masses in our
society today just as he did during the writing of this text. Let’s be very
clear, Satan is a defeated foe and his control on society is temporary. All
humanity is encouraged to get right with God, accept His Son Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior and spend eternity in His presence instead of being tormented
for ever after this life is over. Believers are to walk in the light of Christ because
we are of His righteousness.
It is Satan’s mission to destroy God’s kingdom by deceiving as many as he
can. He does this by spreading false truths and or lies while making them very
believable. What we as believers must do is to know the truth for ourselves and
stand firm on the truth of God’s Word. We shine bright the light of Christ by
standing firm on His word, living a godly life in word and in our walk. Knowing
the truth of God’s Word comes from studying His word so we can rightly divide
the word (2 Timothy 2:15).
Prayer is an important component in the Christian life as it our
communication with God. When Satan sees believers in constant prayer he knows
there is a strong relationship between the believer and God.
Believers, we are Christ’s lit candle so let your light shine for men
to see Christ in you.
