FAITH CAPSULE: Take to the word you will walk over your world.
Genesis 1
The word of God is power to heal and to deliver. The bible declares it in Psalm 107:20, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. What He said to one speaks to all. It is the same word that was in the beginning and that is today. John testifies, “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. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:1-5) Indeed Genesis 1:3 confirmed the power of God’s word stating, “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.”
The bible does not waste word when it mentioned, “And God saw the light, that it was good…” Everything He said He saw. We must consciously expect to see that everything He said we shall see if we believe Him.
God compares the manifestation of His word to how rain or snow comes down and not return but to water the land in Isaiah 55:10-11, “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there,
but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” The word of God cannot fail neither can it return void without performing what it says. The only way for the word not to perform is when man fails to receive the word. Are you taking to the word or the world is taking you out of the word of God. The Israelites began to reject God’s promise of land which flow with milk and honey when they encounter challenges of the world. Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:13-14)
Moses went to God and God said to him, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. (Exodus 14:15-16) Indeed and in truth, they walked on the word when the sea turned to a dry ground.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace for the word of God to overtake you.
