FAITH CAPSULE: Experience the power of God.

Ezekiel 37:1-14

The Lord God is the Commander, He alone is the only Commanding commander. Power belongs to God alone. The word of God is the source of God’s power to give life and to take life. Psalm 138:2 recorded about the word of God, “I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name.”
The word of God is the Commanding commander, His name is magnified above all His name. The hand of God located Ezekiel and set him amid valley which was full of bones. The bones were very dry and lifeless. God asked Ezekiel if the bones could have life again and Ezekiel responded to “…O Lord God, You know.” (Ezekiel 37:3) In deed and in truth, only God knows and there is none that knows like Him. In His word, there is power to bring back life for whatever the enemy has taken away in the life of man. Can you believe in the power of God to return life? Are you having challenge which is written off as hopeless? The same God which gave life to dead bone is still the same with power to give life where there is death.
Ezekiel’s response to God provoked God’s reaction as He gave Ezekiel His command to speak life back into dry bones. Ezekiel spoke as command by God; Ezekiel prophesied and the dry bones regained life. Ezekiel 37:10 recorded, “So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.” Just as Ezekiel received His command, so Jesus has given His word of command to every man that will believe today. It is written, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark16:17) The power in His word remains today except but the world of today is not engaging the command of God.
What is missing in the life of believers today?
Ezekiel allowed the Spirit of God to set him up where God wanted Him. Are you going to allow the Spirit of God set you up? Take to the position of God for your life to experience the same power of God which gave life to dead bone before Ezekiel in the amid of dead bones. God is true and faithful to deliver by His word. Ezekiel knew better by confessing that “…O Lord God, You know.” Consistent confession that only God knows will make the difference in the life of true believer.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of positive confession in your way of life.
