EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) January 5, 2026 YOU ARE THE LIGHT REV. AROME E. TOKULA Ephesians 5:8 - For you were ONCE DARKNESS, but NOW YOU ARE LIGHT in the Lord. Walk as children of light. The Bible makes no mistake when it comes to the identity of the new creation in Christ Jesus. He calls the believer the light. Jesus confidently declared in John 8:12, “... I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” It is important to hear what Jesus said in this verse. He is not saying that God's light shines through Him rather He says that He is the Light. Jesus said He is the Light that God shines in the world of darkness. If darkness connotes confusion, fear, anxiety, evil and death then lightning simply means the answer to these things! In the same way, Jesus calls us light. Matthew 5:14 says, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Apostle Paul in our text says that we were once in darkness. Notice he didn't say we were walking in the darkness, he said we were in darkness. It doesn't matter what we did or didn't do, we were in darkness but that has changed. Now in Christ we are the light of God. We are the sons of light. We are the bringers of hope to the hopeless. We are the solution. We are the answer! It is important to know that as a child of God, He isn't just shining His light through you. You aren't the medium through which His light shines rather you are the very light that He shines into the darkness. We're exactly like Jesus was in His earth walk. This is the truth and consciousness that you must walk with everyday of your life and that starts today. DECLARE I carry Christ Jesus in me. I am the light of the world. His life is in me. I am the solution and I'm providing answers. The darkness of this world has no part in me. I shine bright in darkness in the name of Jesus Christ. MEDITATE You are exactly like Jesus was in His earth walk. You are the solution. You are the answer! #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #January #2026_RevelationAndUprise
