SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL

LIGHT CAME BEFORE MAN

*By Pastor E O Gabriel 29 September 2026: Share*

SCRIPTURE: In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth - *Genesis 1:1*

The Earth was without form and void, and Darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And God said, let there be Light, and there was Light - *Genesis 1:3*

*Therefore, Light came before Man.*

*There are implications of Light before Man. Some of which are:*

*(1)* Before the Light, there was no Man.

• Therefore, Light is essential to Man. He cannot survive without Light, and his survival is in the Light.

• Jesus introduced Himself as the Light of the world - *John 8:12; John 9:5*

Therefore, no man can survive without Jesus - His Love, His Mercy, etc, are essential for our survival - *Lamentations 3:22*

• There is Nothing anyone can do without Him - *John 15:5*

*(2)* With the Light, Man was put in the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it - *Genesis 2:15*

• Man's Purpose is revealed by the Light.

Without Light, Man's Purpose is concealed.

Man's Destiny is revealed only through the Light.

• Embracing Jesus, who is the Light of the world, is the only way to discover and fulfilk Destiny.

• Apostle Paul did not know he was separated from his Mother's womb to be a Preacher to the heathen until he embraced the Light - *Galatians 1:15-16*

*(3)* With the Light, Man was commanded to be Fruitful - *Genesis 1:28*

• Fruitlessness in every area of Life requires Light.

Great efforts without the Light will bear no fruit - *Luke 5:1-7*

*Prayer:*

Father, Please, I don't want to live a Purposeless Life. Let my Light not turn Darkness in Jesus Christ Name.
