Topic: REVELATIONS FROM GENESIS… part 2. (EMERGENCE OF LIGHT).
Text: Genesis 1:2,3.
2: The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.
3: And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. Amplified.
Glory to God who gives us insight into his word. Let’s keep digging deep his word as his Spirit gives us inspiration, it’s the revelation of his word that brings transformation.
Let’s find out from his word how light came to be and its significance in our lives.
The Hebrew word for the word light used in Genesis 1:3 is ‘ ohr ‘, but ohr means something more than light, it also means giving order to something chaotic. It means put in order what is out of order.
In verse 2 of our passage the earth was without form, it means the earth was without order, it was shapeless, there was actually no where to begin from, and so, when God said, ‘ let there be light ‘, he didn’t just mean the absent of darkness, but also the orderliness of the orderless and formless earth.
God made all things out of nothing, look at it here; Roman 4:17 …This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. NLT. The earth was an empty waste that means the earth was nothing. It was an empty vacuum, no map, no bearing, no lay out, no sky, no dry land, darkness all over, it was just nothing.
The first question that could have come to God’s mind was how do I start and what do I do first? There was no order, the earth was like an empty hole, and God was like what do I make from this? And so, it was absolutely important for God to command orderliness. In couple of days, I will be sharing how Adam and Eve returned the earth to emptiness, the state it was before creation.
Of what relevance is this creation mystery to our lives?
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was 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.
Can you see the word light/ohr again in John Chapter 1? This is God bringing orderliness into the lives of men through light that is in Jesus is beloveth son. I will expatiate on this later.
God’s light in your life is to ensure orderliness, whatever is out of order in your life will be put in order in the name of Jesus.
Formless world was made into the beautiful garden called Eden, the creation of the heaven and the earth was linked to the emergence of Jesus Christ in John Chapter 1 and the same light/ohr that emerged in Genesis 1:3 was mentioned in John 1:4 and 5. It is simply orderliness in the lives of those who accepts Jesus as Lord and saviour since Adam lost the orderliness in Genesis 3.
Let me pause here; I urge to get along as we unravel more mysteries from His word as the Holy Spirit helps us. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* Lord put in order whatever is out of order in my life in the name of Jesus.
