FAITH CAPSULE: The Word of God is not without power to those who know to walk and to stand in the Word of God.

1 Kings 17:1-6

Psalm 119:103 declared, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Jeremiah confessed, “Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart…” (Jeremiah 15:16) Are you finding out that the Word of God is sweet to consume? “But the Word is very near in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.” (Deuteronomy 30:14) Anyone who is having the Word in their mouth and in their heart will do the Word. The ones who know to do the Word will undoubtedly know how to call on the Word for use whenever challenges are demanding. Psalm 107:20, He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” The same Word of God that was sent is the same that is near our mouths and we are to use it as a weapon for defense against all that the enemy brings in our direction. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) The Word of God is God.The Word has never stopped coming to us since the beginning. The Word that has been made available will only be available if our hearts have been available for the Word to reign and rule. The Word of God is true and is power. The Word will work for those who walk in it while living in this world of wickedness. This is the same Word that Elijah operated with a consciousness when he called on rain to cease for three and half years. The Word of God is not without power to those who know to walk and to stand in the Word of God. When Elijah encountered Ahab, the king of Israel, all that was in his power was the living Word of God. 1 Kings 17:1, “And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ’As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.’” What you eat is what you will become. Allow the Word of God become your daily bread. Meditate on it day and night and the Word will become of you and you will also be able to stand in declaring it when challenges demand it. Be a carrier of God’s Word and His Word will not fail in carrying you.

Prayer for today: Father I ask that You cause Your Word to have its place in my life.
