I’m about to lead a deliverance session right now.
But wait, don’t close your eyes and pray in tongues just yet.
You’ve got to listen to me.
So, open your eyes and awaken your thoughts.
Darkness is a phenomenon many of us will never identify ourselves with for what it connotes.
But in one way or the other, we’ve all been victims of this power of darkness.
Many times, we’ve been:
– Oppressed by it.
– Depressed.
– Confused.
– Stressed.
– Caged.
– Tied.
And a lot of people have lived this way for years without even knowing it.
This is a very important aspect of life we must become more conscious about and be intentional about escaping its shackles.
No one likes darkness.
But can we ever live without it?
Can we ever have day without night?
Can light ever shine without darkness.
Can we ever appreciate light without darkness?
If you stay with me and read the next few paragraphs, you’ll learn to see, appreciate and master this power of darkness.
You’ll be so empowered for the next moment you ever feel like the power of darkness is at work again.
First, you’d need to understand that darkness is not the opposite of light.
It is simply the absence of light.
This means, the moment it appears things aren’t working as planned, you don’t start looking for the enemy to send spiritual missiles to.
But to wait and first understand why it’s so. Then engage the light you’ve found.
Darkness is not always evil.
Stop associating it with the devil.
Darkness is simply a moment when light is absent.
Darkness was created to help use appreciate light!
Thanks to the ‘holders of power’ here, many of us already understand this concept of darkness. We do not need any further explanations.
But for clarity, I speak of a different kind of darkness.
The one that becloud you and almost halts your life.
The one that depresses you so much you just want to quit.
Or even take your life.
For the most parts, this kind of darkness is largely psychological, emotional, mental or environmental at different degrees.
You feel like your life, relationship, business or career is stuck at different levels… No progress.
This is darkness.
And all you need is light.
And guess what?
That night comes doesn’t mean the sun loses its light.
You have that light!
Or at least, it’s within sight.
But, you have to stop groping in darkness.
You can’t win darkness by fighting in it.
If you’re experiencing darkness in any aspect of your life, stop trying to manage it. Darkness will always overcome everything that stays in it.
No matter how healthy your eyes are, you cannot see in the dark and it’s not because you’ve suddenly gone blind. But that your eyes were not made for the dark.
You need light to win the dark.
Take the first step by seeking help.
Speak to trusted people who can help about that condition.
Learn to understand what kind of darkness you’re currently experiencing.
When you’re stressed, pressured and shrinking, that everything appears confusing and depressing, that’s a form of darkness.
Deliverance for you could be to turn off social media.
Many times, as a creative person, you find it hard to create and then you try to force it, which in most ocassions, is disastrous.
Deliverance for you could be a really sound sleep or some playful activity or laughter!
Everyone who ever made a mark in life emanated from some darkness of different sizes, degrees and levels…or why do we say stuff like “He has entered into the limelight?”
Next time the Power of Darkness is at Work in or around you, neither grope nor fight in it
Rather, get some Light and win.
For when light comes, every form of darkness must give way.
Remember,
Darkness is not always evil.
So stop associating it with the devil.
Get some light.
And more light.
For the tiniest of lights still shines in the thickest darkness.

Now, close your eyes and let’s Pray!
