The True Light. By Apostle Arome Osayi

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it…That was THE TRUE LIGHT which gives light to every man coming into the world.

(John 1:1, 4-5, 9 NKJV, emphasis added)

The United Nations is seen as a force for good as it has its operational tentacles in almost every facet of human endeavour today. It has visible structures and systems built in order to combat the multifarious challenges plaguing mankind. From wars to hunger to disease and natural disasters, the United Nations deploys enormous resources to take on these challenges. 

The United Nations was officially set up in the aftermath of the Second World War in order to among many things, maintain peace in the world. Many interest groups joined forces in order to forge the United Nations. 

There were, however, silent but salient forces that helped breathe life to the United Nations. One of such forces is called the Lucifer Publishing Company which was founded in the early 1920s to spread the teachings of Alice Bailey: a magnificent occultist, theosophist and above-ground apologist of Satan. The name of the company was changed to Lucis Trust which to this day remains on the United Nations Economic and Social Council where they provide high profile consultancy services to the United Nations. The United Nations charter was framed from the teachings of Alice Bailey. Lucis Trust has a hand in the design of United Nations social and economic programmes that are executed in the nations of the world. 

WHY LUCIFER AND LUCIS?

Why did Alice Bailey use the appellations Lucifer and Lucis to name her organisation? Simple, Lucifer means light bearer. Lucis means of light. 

Of course Lucifer was once the consummate embodiment of celestial refulgence –he was an anointed Cherub, and son of the morning whose frame bore and exuded God’s light. After going rogue and getting cast out of heaven, Lucifer became the devil forever losing the capacity to bear God’s light. So the best he can do now is masquerade and/or transform himself into an angel of light. The Bible says,

For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14, NKJV)

Since Satan has lost the capacity to bear God’s light, which by the way is the true light, he has built and perfected his capacity to present counterfeit and/or false lights.

COUNTERFEIT AND/OR FALSE LIGHTS

Any light that does not have Jesus Christ (who is the word of God, bearer of God’s life and the only true light) as its source is counterfeit and/or false.

ALL LIGHTS SHINE BUT NOT ALL LIGHTS ARE TRUE

There are so many systems out there in the world that seem to shine some kinds of lights. They shine lights through humanitarian programmes (like those of the United Nations and several NGOs whose core agenda is to obliterate God from society); beautifully crafted philosophies that espouse dependence on oneself instead of God (as contained in many self help and motivational books and tapes today), arts, entertainment and culture etc. 

All lights shine but not all lights are true. Truth is one: Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the only true light that bears the substance of God’s reality and life and can dispense the same to whoever believes in Him. Actually any light that does not hail from Jesus Christ will yield nothing but wholesale, full-scale darkness!

THREE AREAS GOD’S LIGHT MUST SHINE ON DAILY

i. The feet (Psalms 119:105) for direction. You walk in the direction of your feet. In the journey of faith direction is key.

ii. The path (Psalms 119:105) for spiritual progress. The path of spiritual progress continually leads you to places in God. 

iii. The heart (2 Corinthians 4:6) for the continual knowledge of the glory of God. The heart must be flooded by God’s light in order to be filled with the living, functional knowledge of God that can produce fruits in the believer.

The light of God is always produced when the word of God gains entrance in the depths of man (Psalms 119:130). This can only happen when the believer enlarges their appetite for God’s word. To consume more and more and more and more and some more…

The question begging for answer therefore is: WHAT LIGHT DO YOU CONSUME DAILY?
