Psalm 119:130 ‘The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.’

DAILY READING – 1 Thessalonians 1; Isaiah 11-13; Psalm 112

The American Revolution was a time when the British colonists in America rebelled against the rule of Great Britain. There were many battles fought until the colonies gained their freedom and became the independent United States of America.
One of these remarkable battles fought during this war is known as the Moonlight battle or Battle of Cape St. Vincent.
It is referred to as the Moonlight Battle because it was fought at night which was unusual for naval battles in that era.
At the beginning of the Revolution war, some countries like France and Spain came to join the American colonies fighting against the British empire.
Spain’s principal goal for entering the war was to recapture Gibraltar from
Britain.
The British had gained control of Gilbralta, an important area of the Mediterranean Sea back in 1704.
And so Spanish forces seized the opportunity of the war, to attempt to recapture the small, but heavily defended British fort at Gibraltar.
On January 16, 1780, a British fleet of supply vessels, escorted by 18 ships was on its way to Gibraltar when it clashed with a Spanish squadron of 11 warships. However, when the Spanish fleet realized how heavily outmatched it was, it immediately retreated back. But the British Naval fleet chased after them and bombarded the Spaniards until 2 am. Despite the darkness, the British ships utilized the help of the moon to continue fighting until they had captured six Spanish ships.
This became the first major naval victory for Britain over their European enemies in the war. The British fleet was praised across the empire for their victory at this Moonlight Battle
However, this victory was only made possible because of the crucial role the light of the moon played on that day.

Spiritualy, light from God’s Word is crucial to our victory in life’s battles.
Light from the Word gives us dominion over the forces of wickedness.
In every challenge or confrontation,
revelation from God’s Word is always our guarantee of victory.. As the light shines, no darkness can comprehend or overcome it.
Walking in the light of the Word empowers us to always triumph over challenges.
When we come into battle armed with the knowledge of what God’s Word says about our situation, the darkness flees.
Spiritual ignorance is like darkness, and it is where the enemy thrives and oppresses people. .But when
we put on the armour of light, we disarm him easily.
At the Mount of Temptation, Jesus defeated the enemy by engaging the light of God’s Word and declaring what is written in the Scriptures.
We can always defeat the enemy and become free of his bondages through superior spiritual knowledge of God’s Word.
As it is written, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32)

We need the light of God’s Word to triumph always. Jesus is the light of the world and without Him we can do nothing ,but through Him we can do all things.. Indeed nothing works until His light comes.
Peter, was toiling all night long in the dark without any catch. But when he heard the Word of Jesus, there was a divine illumination and turnaround of his situation.
Light from God’s Word can entirely revolutionize our lives. In our health, in our families, in our businesses, we need the illumination of the Word for victory over the forces of darkness. In this age of darkness, light is our only rescue. Wherever light appears, darkness must bow. Therefore every light bearer is naturally a victor in the battles of life.
Our access to divine light is through diligent study of God’s Word. It is the entrance of His Word that gives light.
Genuine encounter with God’s Word will always deliver victory to us because, faith, the victory that overcomes the world, comes from hearing the Word.
Indeed as we daily abide in God’s Word, our light will constantly shine to overcome every darkness and establish our dominion in every conflict..

PRAYER: Father please help me to always walk in Your light so that I can triumph always in life. Please enable me to diligently study Your Word so as to have the faith that will turn me into a wonder to my world in Jesus Name.
