Light and Darkness


Part IV

Jesus, You are Light of the world. 

 When we get into the darkness all the doors of the Divinity will be closed forever. The evil spirits will guide us into that Gehenna the hell, the darkest place for the sinners; the snakes, vultures, jackals, hyenas, wildcats, owl, bats all kind of dirty animals or the evil spirits will be there. The numbers of demons are countless and every one of these demons has their own duty to destroy a soul step by step. They are very much faithful to their master, Satan! 

  Darkness is the veil which is blocking the light of Jesus to the soul. So avoiding such situation of darkness in the spiritual life a life in holiness is very important. The best way to get rid of darkness is seek the will of God in our life and lead a sinless life to become a real sacrifice to God. A  good soul will not oppose the truth and she always seeks the will of God in her life. “The retribution of God from heaven is being revealed against the ungodliness and injustice of human beings who in their injustice hold back the truth.” Rom. 1. 18. They know the way to approach the truth and God had revealed them every thing and His glory and might through His wonderful creations. “Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible existence of God and his everlasting power has been clearly seen by the mind understands of created things.  And so these people have no excuse.” Rom. 1: 20.

  Those who are not honouring God will be perished. By giving thanks and obeying His commandments, we are honouring the Almighty God. Our minds are darkened by the god of this world. They knew God and yet they did not honour him as God or give thanks to him, but their arguments became futile and their uncomprehending minds were darkened. Rm.1:21(NJB). We have to glorify God and honour Him because He is the only One to be honoured and be glorified. If we don’t honour Him we will be giving the place to other gods of this world. We should thank Him for His mighty deeds and blessings which we received. God has the glory in His Mighty presence and it cannot be compare with any earthly matters or anything in the sky or in the heavens. All creatures the existing and nonexistent are His creations and no one can create any new matter either living or nonliving by his or her intelligence. All the creations are hidden in His own Wisdom and knowledge. Whoever neglects this will be abandoned by God “in their inmost cravings to filthy practices of dishonouring their own bodies—because they exchanged God’s truth for a lie and have worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen Rom. 1: 24-25. That’s why we should listen and obey our spiritual fathers’ instructions. Those who are not obeying the instructions and teachings of our fathers’ will be gone astray from our Lord. They will go into the depth of the darkness. If we listen and obey the teachings of our spiritual fathers’, our God will bless us.
