God Wants A Child

Mark 10:15 (NLT)

“I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

There is a child in me—the part of my heart that once trusted without hesitation, believed without proof, and loved without fear. That child is the part of me that knows how to walk with God the way Jesus intended.

But along the journey of life, that child gets hurt.

Trauma, rejection, disappointment, and confusion slowly break her down. And before I realize it, I’m no longer approaching God with wonder or trust. Even when I see the Savior, I struggle to recognize Him. Receiving Him feels hard. Vulnerability feels risky.

So I begin to ask the hard question: How do I enter the Kingdom of God when the child in me feels broken?

When you’ve been battered by life, faith can become transactional. God becomes someone you go to only when you need help—an emergency button, an automated service machine. Prayer becomes routine. Expectations shrink. Encounters become rare.

Yet Jesus wants more than that.

Every time He invites us into His presence—especially in those quiet, intimate moments—He wants us to come with expectation. He wants us to come believing. He wants us to come without doubt, trusting deeply that “Daddy is going to do it.”

That is how children come.

Children laugh even in the face of danger. They leap without calculating the fall. They trust completely, knowing that even if they are thrown into the air, their father will catch them. They are not afraid of breaking because they believe they are held.

This is the posture God is calling us back to.

“Come to Me as a child.”

You don’t need to hide your nakedness from Me. I already see it all. I see the wounds. I see the fear. I see the shame. But I want you to open it all up—freely and honestly—believing that I can take care of it.

So I ask you gently: Where is your child-self?

Did pain harden you so much that your expectations of God became small? Did rejection teach you to stop hoping? Has disappointment reduced your faith to asking only for “safe” blessings—the bare minimum, the little treats—because you’re afraid to trust Him with more?

Jesus came to give us the fullness of the Kingdom, not scraps. But before we can receive the weight of what He offers, He asks us to return to childlike faith.

Even broken and injured children still run to loving parents. They may cry, limp, or cling—but they come. And in the same way, we are invited to bring our hurt, confusion, and brokenness to Jesus.

Because if He can restore our souls, He can restore the child within us.

We can only enter God’s Kingdom like a child.

This is not just symbolic.

It is deeply—beautifully—literal.

God wants us to embrace His light but He also wants us to come as children.

God wants the child in you.

Light for orderliness

God is a God of order. He does not leave His people without direction. Wherever God brings light, He also brings clarity, structure, and peace.

After delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, God did not immediately lead them into abundance. Instead, He first taught them how to live. Freedom came first, but order followed. God began to establish roles, boundaries, and functions so the people could walk rightly in their new season.

Moses was called to stand before God as a mediator and prophet, continually interceding for the people. Aaron was appointed by God as High Priest, set apart to minister in sacred things. This was not a human arrangement, but a divine one.

“Now take Aaron your brother, and his sons with him… that he may minister to Me as priest.”

— Exodus 28:1

God went further to consecrate Aaron and his sons, reminding us that divine calling always comes with divine preparation.

“I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests.”

— Exodus 29:44

Alongside the priests were the Levites—faithful helpers assigned to serve in the tabernacle.

Numbers 3:6–8

Each person had a place. Each role mattered. Nothing was excessive, and nothing was missing. God was teaching His people that life with Him flows best when lived in order.

In the beginning, we see the same pattern. God created light and then separated it from darkness. He named the light Day and the darkness Night.

Genesis 1:4–5

By doing this, God established rhythm—time for work and time for rest.

Jesus later echoed this truth when He taught His disciples how to pray. He did not give them mere words to repeat, but a manner—a way of approaching the Father.

“After this manner therefore pray…”

— Matthew 6:9

That moment was light for the disciples. They realized that intimacy with God has order, reverence, and alignment.

The Apostle Paul reminds us gently:

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”

— 1 Corinthians 14:40

God’s order is not meant to restrain us, but to prepare us. When He brings light into our lives, He is inviting us to align with Him. Alignment causes confusion to fade, peace to settle, and purpose to become clear.

So Today, as light increases in your life via your communion with God, may your heart be aligned with God’s timing and design and may things begin to fall in the right order for you. Amen

Married to the Light – Lappidoth

‎

‎Thinking about the life of Deborah and studying it closely, I came to see that God didn’t just raise a mother in Israel or appoint a judge—He also set her life up to exemplify the calling He placed on her. To do this, God positioned her among the right company. Deborah’s husband bore the name Lappidoth, which means Light, and the military general who sought her counsel was Barak, meaning Flash or Lightning. 

‎

‎This is no coincidence. Through Deborah’s positioning, God is revealing something powerful: to carry the weight of His mind, purpose, and assignment, our environment—our company—matters deeply.

‎

‎Once again, God is inviting us into His system of Light. But this cannot happen if we do not intentionally place ourselves among “touches” and “light”—those who activate, illuminate, and align us with God’s purpose. Maybe if Deborah had been married to or surrounded by the wrong people, she would have done far less than God intended. But as we read in the book of Judges, Deborah was a woman who lived by divine strategy.

‎

‎Light isn’t just an object of illumination; it is a system—a divine strategy to dismantle the forces of darkness positioned to oppress God’s people.

‎

‎I want to walk in God’s Light, but I hear Him saying, “Ese, take off the darkness that comes in the form of people, places, organizations, objects, and books. Remove what dims your vision so you can clearly see the Light.”

‎

‎So you can hear when God speaks—so that darkness doesn't disguise itself as Light.

‎

‎Come into the Light. But the real question is—are you ready to be married to the Light?

‎

‎Be joined with the culture of Light.

‎Let the true Light transform us into His image.

‎

‎I am married to the Light—so today, I choose to take off the garments of darkness.

‎

‎Stay Revived!

Light for Revelation

Beloved, understand this that where there is no light, confusion thrives. At night, when there is no illumination, you may reach into a basket of keys knowing your car key is there—yet you cannot distinguish it. Presence without light does not guarantee access. This is why light is not optional; it is essential.

Light brings clarity. Light brings revelation.

Light is not merely a phenomenon; light is a system. And the system of light is the system of God. Scripture declares plainly, “God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Wherever God is permitted to rule, darkness loses jurisdiction.

At the dawn of creation, darkness covered the face of the deep. Chaos existed, not because darkness was powerful, but because light had not yet been released. Then God spoke light into existence: “Let there be light.” And immediately, light appeared. After light appeared, God separated light from darkness. Light always precedes separation. Revelation always comes before distinction.

Genesis 1:1–4 reveals a pattern:
Light is introduced first, then darkness is confronted.

However, the fall of man introduced another dimension of darkness—not environmental darkness, but internal darkness. This was not the darkness God addressed in the beginning. This darkness settled within the human nature, corrupting perception, desire, and direction.

Jehovah Elohim is Light. When a man encounters Him, the first evidence is illumination. Sight is restored. Understanding is awakened. Direction becomes clear. It is never God’s intention for His children to navigate life by guesswork. Darkness is not a sign of humility; it is often a sign of withheld revelation.

When God sees a heart that genuinely seeks Him—one that longs to know His ways and walk in obedience—He releases light. That light most often comes through His Word.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Wor.d was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).

This same Word did not remain abstract. The New Testament reveals that the Word became flesh.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory” (John 1:14).

Therefore, when we declare, “Come into the light of Elohim,” we are issuing a summons:
Come through Jesus.
Engage the Word.
Study it.
Speak it.
Live it.
Obey it.

Because light is released where the Word is honored.

In this season, God is turning on the light. He is shining His illumination upon lives, families, ministries, businesses, nations and bloodlines. Hidden things will be exposed—not for condemnation, but for correction. Not to shame you, but to empower you.

Some have lost glory through demonic patterns, disobedience, or unaligned choices. Scripture records a moment of loss when a child was named Ichabod—“the glory has departed” (1 Samuel 4:21). Yet today, the Spirit of the Lord is calling: Ichabod, arise. Return to the light of Elohim.

Therefore, build a system that attracts and sustains light—a lifestyle anchored in the Word, sustained by prayer, expressed through obedience, and sealed by total surrender.

Where light reigns, darkness has no voice.
