The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Day Star
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. (Revelation 2:26-28)
The day star is Venus. Once during World War Two while standing on the deck of an LST just before dawn I saw a bright light rise in the sky. I reported it as a possible distress signal but it turned out to be Venus, the day star.
The day star heralds the new day.
Both Christ and Lucifer are day stars. Each heralds a new day, the kingdom of love, peace, and joy that is to come to the world.
The ever-expanding communication devices of our day are presenting Lucifer's concept of the kingdom, of the new day. The new day is to be one of ungoverned passion, an unending orgy of fleshly lust. The powers of the new day are money and education. The highest good of the new day is the right of every individual to think, speak, and act as he or she pleases.
Christ's concept of the kingdom, of the new day, is of righteousness first of all, followed by peace and joy. The power of the new day is the Spirit of God. The highest good of the new day is obedience to the Father.
Whoever possesses the winning day star will rule the world.
Both Lucifer and Christ seek to dwell in the hearts of people. Lucifer desires to express his frantic obsession with human flesh plus his ungoverned self-will through people. He is doing this today. Imagine—a fallen cherub wanting to dwell in people!
Christ desires to express His peace and joy, and especially the Father's righteousness and holiness—and perfect will—through people. He is doing this today.
How much better to have a man living in us than a cherub! "But I don't want anybody living in me!" Too late! You were made with a vacuum in you, and if God doesn't live there somebody else will.
(I wish these rebellious angels would get off our turf. All they do is mess everything up. Why don't they go back where they came from and flap around up there? We have enough problems down here. It's hard enough to make a living without a pack of demons and angels complicating the situation.)
Well, you have your choice. If you listen to Lucifer—and he is on the sitcoms and talk shows every day so you'll get lots of opportunity to hear what he has to say—he will be more than glad to influence and possess you. You will have plenty of excitement. Las Vegas—here I come!
How disgusting to be victimized by one's own appetites!
If you listen to Christ, and you can hear Him in some of the churches and on a few programs, He will be more than glad to influence and possess you. In fact, the Day Star will rise in your heart announcing the new day of God's Kingdom.
You may not have as much fleshly excitement but you will have peace and joy.
Satan will lead you straight into the eternal furnace and your smoke will go up forever. Neat huh?
Christ will lead you into green pastures and quiet waters, and finally to everlasting joy. Probably a better deal.
Both day stars are out there. Take your pick.
The only thing at stake is your future!
