Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:1-3
Your True Identity (Matthew 5:13-16, John 1:11-12, 1 Peter 2:9)
Many people ask, “How should I evangelize?” However, there is something far more important than the “how.” You must know who you are . Because you are saved, you are the light of the world . You have received Christ, who came as the light. 1 Peter 2:9 clearly states that you were called to manifest this light.
To put it accurately, if you understand prayer, your very existence is what matters. Joseph didn’t “evangelize” Potiphar with words; Joseph was the light, and Potiphar saw it and realized the truth. This is the part most people miss. Even the darkness (demons) recognizes this immediately. Darkness fears the light. If you simply stop being deceived and hold onto this, every door will open.
「The Light of Creation」 (Genesis 1:1-3)
This refers to the very light God used when He created the heavens and the earth. You must believe this.
▣ Introduction
1. Darkness
Darkness is destined to flee. It cannot overcome the light. You don’t even need to fight it.
Genesis 1:2: In the beginning, there was chaos, emptiness, and darkness.
Isaiah 60:2: Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples. That is why God says, “Arise, shine!”
Satan’s 12 Strategies: This darkness is the trap of Satan’s 12 strategies. All you need to do is believe and let the light shine.
2. The Nature of the Light
Genesis 1:3: It is the Light of Creation .
Isaiah 60:1: It is the Light of Glory . The glory of the Lord rises upon you.
John 1:11: This is the light that Christ came to shine.
Matthew 5:14: You are the light of the world.
1 Peter 2:9: You were called to declare His wonderful light.
3. Experience – [Ananias] + [Paul]
When you shine this light, you experience God’s work. Ananias possessed this light. Because he was a church officer holding the light, God sent Paul to him. This is what we call evangelism.
▣ Main
1. The Bartizan of Light Within Me
The first thing you must do is establish the Bartizan of Light within yourself. This means believing and welcoming it.
The Bartizan of the Throne: Establish this through prayer.
The Journey of the Throne: This light accompanies you on your journey.
The Guidepost of the Throne: The direction is already within you.
> People who find religious life difficult are usually those not praying. Instead of worrying after you wake up, enter into prayer. The difference is heaven and earth.
2. The Temple of Light
Next, a Temple of Light is formed. This refers to both the church building and your role:
237 nations & 5,000 tribes: Since this is the Light of Creation, your prayers here can reach across the world.
Healing: This light brings creative healing.
Posterity (Remnants): This light saves the next generation.
3. The Economy of Light
From this point, the “Economy of Light” emerges.
Offerings: Your devotion to the church is the economy of light.
Missions: Funds that save nations.
Remnants (RT): The economy specifically for the future generation.
▣ Conclusion: The Camp of Light
Your life is a Camp of Light . Whether you are sitting here or getting married, it is all a camp to shine the light.
1. The Gentiles (Unbelievers): Light comes upon them through your camp.
2. The Sick: The light shines continuously for healing.
3. The Synagogue (Field): This is why they went into the synagogues—to save the Remnants.
Final Warning:
Don’t be deceived by your circumstances. Whether you are sick, struggling, or in a good place, you are a child of light. Darkness must flee wherever you go. Look at the recent dark events in countries like Cambodia (human trafficking, scams). These happen because the light is absent and leaders are in darkness.
Remnants, remember: until you make your skills 300% , you must be diligent. If you cannot reach that 300% level, it is hard to even make a living, let alone do missions. You must stay ahead.
Prayer. Lord, grant us grace throughout this entire day. Give us new strength. May all darkness be bound and driven out from our surroundings. Let all unbelief crumble. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
