  • When Light Appears, Darkness Bows

    YOU ARE LIGHT

    You were made to shine, not tomorrow, not someday, but now.

    Ever wondered why darkness exists? It’s not to stop you; it’s to show where your light needs to shine. Light doesn’t tiptoe, it erupts, it overcomes, it wins.

    Recently, God began to speak to me about light, about what it truly means to be light. Not just to carry it, but to embody it.

    Light isn’t weak. Light has power, intensity, and force. When light appears, it doesn’t tiptoe in; it comes with full energy, full strength, full glory.

    Anything that is not light is darkness. And anything that is dark is not from God.

    As light, we are not meant to blend in or stay quiet. We are meant to reveal the inferiority of darkness by driving it away. That’s our design. That’s our purpose.

    ARISE. SHINE.

    In Isaiah 60, God gives us this timeless call:

    “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”

    The presence of darkness is not a reason to hide; rather, it is a summons for light to manifest. Darkness only reveals where light needs to shine.

    You were made to shine. You are light. And light does not negotiate with darkness. You are God’s strategy, His divine mechanism to chase Satan and his cohorts away.

    So shine: in your home, in your purpose, in your generation.

    Because that is who you are, LIGHT.

    And when light shows up, darkness doesn’t get to stay. Light has a mandate: to expose, to reveal, to overcome.

    So when darkness shows up, don’t shrink back. Step forward—because light always wins.

    THE GLORY IS UPON YOU

    You shine because the glory of God is upon you. You are not meant to be hidden. Don’t let your present circumstances determine the frequency or range of your shining.

    The glory of God is upon you. You are not useless. You are not abandoned. You are not forgotten.

    One of the attributes of light is boldness, and darkness—its direct opposite—is fear.

    So shine. You’ve been given the power and the mandate. Don’t let darkness win. You are the solution needed for the scarcity of nations.

    Again, I say, you are not useless. Don’t mind the negative things people may have said about you.

    Light is not ugly; it is beautiful. And you were made to shine.

  • MY WELCOME AND MY STORY.

    🔥 WELCOME TO TORCH LIGHTERS

    Hey there👋

    I’m honestly just so glad you’re here.
    Because this, what you’re reading right now is not a coincidence. Whether you’re tired, curious, broken, hopeful, or just scrolling through life looking for meaning, I want you to know this:

    You are seen. You are loved. You are not alone.

    My name is Overcomer, and I co-founded Torch Lighters with my dear friend Divine. This space was born out of our personal battles, healing journeys, and a deep burden to see young people rise from the dust of depression, addiction, shame, and fear—to become the light God created them to be.

    I know what it’s like to feel stuck. I know what is like for the guilt of sin to make you feel unwanted by GOD
    I know what it is like to feel that your prayers are not answered because of the guilt of sin

    For a long time, I was addicted to pornography and masturbation. It was a painful cycle. I wanted to stop, but I couldn’t. I’d ask God for forgiveness and fall back the next day. Guilt swallowed me. I lost my confidence. I hid myself from people. I felt like I was too broken to ever be fixed.

    But Jesus met me there—right in the middle of the mess. He delivered me.
    And with that came a peace I never thought I could have.
    Now I know what it means to live free, think clearly, walk in joy, and hope again.

    I want that for you, too.

    This isn’t just a blog. It’s a family. A space for you to be real. To be honest about what you’re going through. To ask questions, share your story, and find hope in God—without fear of judgment.

    We’re building a community here where healing happens through truth, prayer, and fellowship. We’ll have:

    💬 Open conversations

    🙏🏽 Prayer meetings

    📖 Bible studies

    📹 Zoom calls where we talk, grow, cry, laugh, and get stronger together

    Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We were made for connection—and for fire.

    “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

    That’s what Torch Lighters is all about: helping you find rest, purpose, and identity in Jesus.

    So welcome home, my friend.
    You’re not too far gone. You’re not too broken.
    You’re just in the middle of your becoming. And we’re here to walk that journey with you.

    Let’s rise. Let’s shine. Let’s burn.
    Together.

    Much love,
    Overcomer ❤
