Isa 9:2 (KJV) “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”
The LIGHT of God is the only solution to whatever form of darkness is at work against a man’s life. Our Scriptural text says, “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light ...” Who is this GREAT LIGHT? His name is JESUS, the CHRIST (Matt. 4:12-17; Luke 1:79). Our Lord Jesus said, “I am the light of the world: he that FOLLOWETH me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). Again, the Lord Jesus said, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness” (John 12:46). To overcome every form of darkness in a man’s life therefore, he will need to BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST and FOLLOW HIM.
Now, some of us believe in Jesus Christ but we are not “following” Him, consequently, the power of darkness keeps oppressing such persons. Following Jesus Christ means actively choosing to align one's life with His teachings and example. This is what it means to be “a DISCIPLE” of Jesus Christ. Cease from following your emotions and sentiments; follow Jesus. I chose to follow the Lord Jesus Christ by the help of the Holy Spirit
