FAITH MAIL: Power that belongs to God is in His word.
John 11:1-44
The word of God is God. (John 1:1)
The word of God is the power of God.
Hebrews 4:12 accounts, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
One that gives self to the word of God, the power of God is giving and getting the attention of God without failing in the journey of life.
Giving self to the word of God is worshiping God to gain His attention. Exodus 34:14 states, “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.”
What is the challenge that is denying you from giving yourself to the word of God?
The power of God, the word of God, delivers and preserves in the challenges of this world.
The word of God is the power of God that will bring physical or spiritual death back to life.
For example, when Lazarus was dead for four days, it was the word of God that brought Lazarus back to life.
At the death of Lazarus, Jesus spoke the word with the command to bring Lazarus to life, “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” (John 11:41-44)
Is there any challenging situation with the need to gain life and not die in any endeavor of life?
Give self to the word of God that is more than able to give possibility in the place of impossibility.
Give self to the word of God, give thanks to God for what He is doing, and what God will do over your life.
With obedience to the word of God for the people to move the stone as commanded by Jesus, it was thanksgiving that activated the power that rose Lazarus from the grave of death.
Giving thanks to God with understanding is the powerful word of God that gave life in the position of death for Lazarus.
Do not be instigated, and let not anxiousness deny you from truth the character of the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life by the word of God.
