KEY SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 4:12 ” For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”.
The power of God is encapsulated (or hidden) in His word. He speaks of the word in the following way, “All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made ” John 1:3. This is the living word.
Everything visible and invisible was made or created by the word. The Psalmist talking about the voice of God says “The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty”. Praise the Lord (Psalm 29:4). God’s word is majestic. The word rules.
Please note this, God’s word does not just contain power, but it is all-powerful.
God communicates His power to men mainly through His word. Our key scripture says. This “The word of the Lord is alive and powerful. It is sharper than any two-edged sword piercing to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”.
The word of God answers every aspect of the human life.
It is ‘sharper’ means it strikes once at every challenge and the answer is ready.
From our key scripture, we see the following about God’s word
- It handles both matters of the spirit as well as the soul. It gives the best solution to deep-seated emotional matters.
2. The word is the best solution for health and issues related to our body. (Proverb 4:22).
3. The word gives the best solution to all moral issues of men.
Our world is morally bankrupt because our societies are throwing the word away.
It is the word that ministers life to us. The Lord explained in John 6:63 as follows “it is the spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing, the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and, they are life”. The word is Spirit and has life”. Is there anything dying in your life. Stop lamenting and panicking just give attention to the word. That is the power of God. Is it a health challenge? Attend to the word and do what it says (Proverb 4:20-22). The word would always create whatever it talks about.
CONFESSION
God’s power is hidden in His word. As I feed my heart with the word, my spirit and soul is saturated with the power of God, thereby all things are made possible because the word makes it possible.
THOUGHT:DO NOT DOUBT THIS, GOD’S POWER IS OPERATIVE IN YOU, WHEN THE WORD IS ACTIVE IN YOU.
