FAITH PRESCRIPTION: The word of God is all that makes difference in life.

2 Chronicles 15

The word of God is God. The word of God is His spirit. John 6:63, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” It is written, “Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.” (2 Chronicles 15:1-2)It is safe to say God came to Asa through Asa. The need for Asa to hear from God was huge and God came upon Azariah. Only God knows how often He has been coming to you through His servant but you are yet to listen and allow His word to have its way in your life. Azariah kept on with his exhortation while Asa listened. Azariah then concluded his exhortation by stating, “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”(2 Chronicle 15:7) Exhortation that sounded in the direction of Asa turned things around for Asa, “And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD.” (2 Chronicles 15:8)The word of God which came to Asa heard and engaged the word which came through Azariah. 
It is the same word He sent and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20) Jeremiah 23:29 also testifies, is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Is there any rock of hindrance in your way that needs to be broken? You can ask for the hammer nature of the word of God to break it down. Jeremiah once found the word of God in his time of need for encouragement and he testified, “Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15:16)
Is there anything that does not represent God in your life and needs to be burnt off? Engage the word of God, for the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth.(Psalm 33:4)Remember, it is the same word that the Lord God used in the creation of the whole of heaven and earth. The word of God is all that makes difference in life.

Prayer for today: Ask that the same word which distinguished Asa will sound to distinguish you for His glorious name.
