“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” – John 1:1
I would to God that somebody would get a revelation of the above scripture. The above scripture tells us some very important things about the Word of God. He says, “The Word was in the beginning” and “the Word was NOT only with God, BUT the Word WAS GOD”. The next verse still describes this Word of God.
“All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made” – John 1:3
See that? All things were made by him. ‘All things’ means everything that was created, whether man or beast, or trees, or flowers, all things were made by the Word of God. In other words, the Word has a creative ability to create anything, and to make anything, including changing things around in your life.
But the MOST IMPORTANT attribute of the Word is shown by the following scripture. It reads thus
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men” – John 1:4.
See that? In the Word was LIFE. In the Word was the God kind of life, sometimes referred to as eternal life or everlasting life. And this life, he says, was the light of men. That’s why Jesus said “…he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life” (John8:12). Look at what the bible further says about this Word.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14
See that? The Word was made flesh. In other words the Word became flesh and lived as a human being on earth. As you study the bible further you’d discover that this flesh was JESUS . Wow! You see that? The Word which was God, and the Word which created the world, and the Word which he says “in him was life” is JESUS.
Boy oh boy!! In Jesus is life. In Jesus there is the God-kind-of-life. Jesus has eternal life, everlasting life, and the God-kind-of-life.
He already told us that “..and the life was the light of men”. Now do you think when you are in darkness in your life, God is happy? When you are in darkness concerning your health, in darkness concerning your job, in darkness concerning your finances, in darkness concerning your family, or your business? When you walk in confusion, in uncertainty, and you are in the dark about everything in your life do you think that’s the life that God wants for you?
Some people’s lives are full of FEAR, the fear of failure, the fear of death, and the fear of the future.
Brother! Sister! If you are walking in darkness today, if your life looks like it has some darkness to it, then you need JESUS. Jesus said
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But I am come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly” – John 10:10
Then he also said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall the light of life” – John 8:12
