In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not
any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the
Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

How You Can Preach the Salvation Gospel
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name:
John 1:1-12

1. You must respect Jesus Christ because He was there
at the beginning.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God.
John 1:1-2
Jesus Christ was there in the beginning of the world.
You cannot go to Ghana and disrespect Kwame Nkrumah.
Ghanaians respect him greatly because he was there from the
beginning, from the inception of the nation Ghana in 1957.

2. Everything in the world was made by Him and
through Him.
All things were made by him; and without him was not
any thing made that was made.
John 1:3
Everything in the world was made by Jesus Christ. Ghana’s
first president was Kwame Nkrumah. In Ghana, virtually
everything was built by Kwame Nkrumah and through him; the
motorway, the harbours, the airport and many of the secondary
schools in the country were all built by him. This is why Kwame
Nkrumah is such a great figure in Ghana. That is why he is
respected.

3. The life of Jesus Christ produced a very bright light
and that light which comes from Jesus Christ is the
light that men need to live in this world.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended
it not.
John 1:4-5

4. Just as John the Baptist was not the light but came
preaching about the light, likewise every preacher is
not the light but comes to preach about the light.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe. He was not that
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
John 1:6-8

5. Jesus Christ is the True Light. He is the correct light
and the right light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world.
John 1:9
There are many lights that can be seen on the shore. Amongst
all these lights is one that comes from the lighthouse. That light
directs the ship away from the rocks. If you follow the wrong
light your ship will hit the rocks and sink. It is important that you
follow Jesus Christ because He is the True Light.
False Money And False Light
One day, I went into a shop in Holland. When I was paying
for an item, the lady at the till scrutinized the dollar bill I gave her
for a long time. She did not want to accept my money.
However, after some time, she was forced to accept it.
When I asked her why she was scrutinizing my money so
closely, she explained that a lot of false hundred dollar bills had
been released into the market so she did not want to make the
mistake of receiving false money. If she made the mistake of
receiving counterfeit dollars, she would pay dearly for all them.
Similarly, you must be afraid of following a false light. If you
follow the wrong light, you will pay dearly with your life.
Jesus Christ knew that there would be other people who
would claim to be lights. That is why He said that He was the
True Light and that is why John the Baptist said that he was not
the light.

6. Jesus Christ is the True Light. Follow Him and you
will end up in Heaven.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
John 8:12
