TOPIC:
THE WONDERS OF THE SPOKEN WORD
Memorize:

Read:
Genesis 1:1-3
1 IN
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And
the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
BIBLE
IN ONE: ISAIAH 15:1-19:15 and ACTS 4:23-37
Message
Isaiah
55:10-11 establishes the wonders- working power
of the spoken Word of God. The Word of God can transform darkness to light (Genesis
1:3). This is why in Mark 10:46-52, when Bartimaeus cried for recovery of his
sight, all Jesus did was speak, and his sight was restored. Genesis 1:20-22 reveals
the fact that the spoken Word of God can transform emptiness to fullness. At
the beginning of creation, the world was empty and void, but when the spoken
Word of God went forth, the world became full of all sorts of creatures. I
prophecy that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, your
emptiness shall be transformed to fullness.
Moreover,
the spoken Word of God can bring orderliness
to a confused situation. We see this in the story of the storm that rocked the
boat of Jesus and His disciples (Mark 4:35-41).
All Jesus did was to speak peace to the confusion on the sea, and there was
calm. This same spoken Word of God can go into the bowels of the earth to bring
the dead buried there back to life (John 11:39-44). I want to encourage you to
identify genuine prophets of God and never trivialise the word that comes out
of their mouth. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, we read about the word of prophet of God to a
poor widow whose sons were about to be sold into slavery. The moment the man of
God spoke, the multiplying power of God went into the lone bottle of oil in her
hand and the miracle began to happen. Today, as you read this devotional, standing
on the authority of the Word of God, I decree that every emptiness in your life
be filled in Jesus' Name.
Years
ago, a man came to us for prayer. He was distressed because he had become
financially bankrupt. After the prayer, he said that he know he should not come
to a man of God empty-handed but he had nothing to give. As if that was enough,
he begged for transport money back home. I took the little money I had then,
gave it to him and said, "This money will never finish." He said
"Amen" and left. Today, I know at least two of the houses he built after that encounter. My earnest prayer for you too is that whatever money is in your possession as you are reading this devotional shall
not finish in Jesus' Name. Believe in the spoken Word from the mouth of Gods
prophet, depart from iniquity and you will give testimonies of power in the Word.
Action
Point:
Read
aloud all the written prophecies in today's devotional, received them by faith
and you will experience the power in the Word.
