MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO
THE LIGHT THAT LIGHTENS ALL MEN
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
You know, there's a candle that lightens other candles. May you be the giver of light, inspiration and soulful encouragement when others are down. All of us will have diverse responsibilities but the onesimus is on some to not only be responsible for themselves but to ensure the prosperity and continuity of other people. That's why we have something like the container call. A container call carries or harbours the callings of others. Someone with that kind of calling could start something that others will find their callings, voices, bearings and purposes through. He's therefore the container call because in his call is the calls of other men alike. If he doesn't heed his call, it may hinder others from entering into theirs let alone doing it.
So, there are men who are lighters of other men. I author a daily devotional and minister as an itinerant minister, it won't be arrogance to say I'm such a type of man. From my daily teaching, a lot of people - even those with their own specific calls have been spoken to. Down the line, I found out, I have an unusual grace to speak to ministers or groom them. Even from the beginning of my ministry, it has been one of the manifestations of my ministry. I've had several ministries and ministers come out of my own calling. A lot have been called and inspired to start ministry like my own, coming to the identification of what the Lord would have them do. As a matter of fact, when some began, they had no other pattern or model. Everything they did was like unto my ministry. They taught what I taught and used my materials. While they're more free now yet my ministration still lightens them. My teachings and the ministry God has given to me touches them to the core and arms them with truth and all ministrations they need for their own callings and the discharge of their ministries.
That's a light that lightens men - such as God has given to him. When that place says Jesus was the true light that lightens every man that comes into the world, it actually has a number of meanings. We know light counteracts darkness. Darkness could be ignorance or even death - a state of both spiritual and physical deaths. Jesus being the light brings illumination to the human spirit/soul. There's no human with no iota of moral consciousness in him even if he is not born again. Every human has conscience - which is God's compass to help him self check and identify for himself what is good or bad. Jesus is the source of divine truth and life. That's another thing that makes Him the true light. The words that He speaks are spirit and life (John 6:63). God's light in Jesus is made available to all men though not all men will accept Him. This doesn't cancel the fact that Jesus is the true light for anyone who wants to be saved or have the joy of salvation in intimacy with the Father.
Jesus is the light that lightens all men would mean He is the sacrifice for sin and you cannot come unto the Father except through him. He is the true light that lightens all men. He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). He's the only solution for spiritual awakening and illumination. You can't have it elsewhere and hope to reach Jesus' Father. Salvation is only in Jesus! He is the true light that awakens souls to their spiritual debauchery and deadness.
This way, God is calling us to the container call - of letting people find their callings and voices through us, of shedding light on the paths of people to the discovery of their callings and destinies. There will be those God will allocate to your calling if you do ministry the way it should be. They are those that your way of life and teachings will give light to and lighten to lighten others. May you be a light to lighten the gentiles!
PRAYER/CONFESSION: May I be a light to lighten the gentiles. A light unto the path of any who crosses my path.
