NOT JUST A LIGHT BUT A BLAZING FIRE(Let Your Fire Consume the Works of Darkness)

LET’S  TALK 

Sometime in the 8th century BC, Isaiah made the prophetic declaration in our theme scripture against the Assyrian empire at the height of their reign. But even though it appeared to be addressed only to the Assyrian monarch or empire of that time, there was a deeper prophetic significance pointing to the future. 

In order to understand this prophetic passage, it’s important to grasp its spiritual connotations. First, in the Old Testament, “the Assyrian” is the spiritual depiction of the antichrist. Now, with that in mind, let’s examine the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 5:14 (NIV) where He said, “You are the light of the world.” As Christians, we are the light of the world, and according to this prophetic vision, that light transcends mere illumination; it’s a burning fire! 

Furthermore, Isaiah’s prophecy declared, “…it will burn and devour [the Assyrian’s] thorns and briers in one day” (Isaiah 10:17 AMPC). These thorns and briers represent the evil schemes, deception, and devious agenda being orchestrated by the enemy in today’s world, but our fire burns and devours them! Through our words, we obliterate the deceptive works of the antichrist in these last days. We’ve been empowered by the Spirit to be a ferocious fiery force against the works of darkness. In essence, we are the fire and they are the chaff! Glory be to God!

Become very conscious of this from today. Everywhere you are, speak God’s Word and ignite a blazing fire to consume the works of darkness. Proclaim His truth and  establish His righteousness in your world. This is your calling! Hallelujah!

GO DEEPER

Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Philippians 2:14-15 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

PRAY

Dear Father, thank you for making me a bearer of your divine light. I’m a beacon of hope and transformation to those around me, empowered by your Spirit to ignite a blazing fire against the works of darkness in these last days. I declare that your righteousness is established in the earth and in the hearts of men, in Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
