1 Kings 18

The word of God is the way of God. Psalmist buttress, “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” (Psalm 18:30) The word of God is a shield. Regardless one’s background, the word of God will not fail to extend protection to all who trust in Him. Do you trust in Him? Trust in Him and accept Him as your Lord and savior for you protection.

There are number of powerful ways the living word of God is described through the scripture. In every way that the word is described, the word has been consistent in answering to his description. The book of Psalm 119:32 states, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” Word of God is worthy to embrace and it exposes darkness by the power of light. The word of God is enough to terminate every form of darkness in one’s life. It was word that terminated all night struggle of lack to morning time breakthrough with abundance. Jesus spoke to Peter after Peter’s all night toiling with nothing to show for, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”(Luke 5:4) Peter did as commanded by the Word of God and abundance took the place of lack for Peter. The word of God is true to give light in the place of darkness. The word of God is a lamp to feet of those who believe enough to embrace the word and a light to a believer’s path.

It is written in Acts 20:32, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” In the whole world of man, nothing builds up man like the word of God. To whom the word of God build it is becomes blessing of God which adds no sorrow.

God spoke in Jeremiah 23:29, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? Elijah proved the word to be true on Mount Carmel when he stood against the Baal worshipers and called on the Lord, to hear him against all the worshipers. The Lord heard Him and fire fell. (1 Kings 18:38)

Whenever the word sent is able to fill any vacuum in the life of a needy person, it will bring out and deliver all that represents need. The word of God is consistently power to heal and power to deliver. The word of God is power to make a way where there is no way. Embrace the word in the race of life and you shall be victorious.
