Rhapsody of Realities 23 October 2026: His Light To Your World
SCRIPTURE: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9).
Notice the tenses in the scripture we just read; it emphasises a present reality: You’ve been called out of darkness into God’s marvellous light. This must become your consciousness. You’re not trying to get into the light; you live there now.
This is consistent with what the Bible says in Colossians 1:12-13, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Darkness has no dominion or jurisdiction over you because you’ve been translated into the Kingdom of light.
Now, in that marvellous light, sickness has no place. Fear cannot triumph. Defeat, poverty, sin, and death are vanquished. You’re forever in glory and dominion. Hallelujah! Also, notice that God didn’t merely stop at telling you where you now live; He also reveals why He brought you there: to show forth His praises.
The Amplified Classic of the opening scripture renders it beautifully: “…that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” God’s purpose is to build His character in you, to reveal His glory in you. You become the walking glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, the expression of His beauty to your world.
He wants you to display His virtues and perfections in your family, workplace, business, profession, and everywhere. If you couldn’t do it, He wouldn’t have told you to. He brought you into His marvellous light to make you His light to your world: “Ye are the light of the world…” (Matthew 5:14).
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for calling me out of darkness into your marvellous light. I live in the consciousness of this glorious reality today, displaying your virtues, perfections, excellence, and glory to my world. My life is the expression of your beauty and character, and through me, many are brought into your marvellous light and the knowledge of your saving grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

8 For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [lead the lives of those native-born to the Light].
