« Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. »
1Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways.
2 When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
The first thing you need to know about our topic for today is that God does not breathe to survive like we humans do.
Someone who cannot die definitely does not need to breathe to stay alive.
Thus, when we say that God breathes, it means that something rare and special is about to happen. Genesis 2:7 GWT says
« Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the earth and blew the breath of life into his nostrils. The man became a living being »
The Almighty God, who does not need to breathe to remain alive, decided to breathe because He wanted to give life to a non-living thing.
He breathed on ordinary clay, and it became a living soul.
When He breathes on the dead, they come to life.
That is how powerful the breath of God is, and believe me honestly, as humans, one thing or the other will seem to be dead in our lives at one point or the other, so we all need God to breathe on us.
Romans 4:19 says not only was Sarah’s womb dead, her husband’s body was dead too, but the One who can breathe life into the dead brought it back to life.
- He does not only breathe on dead wombs; He can also breathe on dead businesses, careers, marriages, ministries and many more.
You may have noticed an area of your life where there has been no progress for years; you would need God to breathe on it and bring it to life.
Genesis 49:22 says Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall”. Joseph prospered everywhere he went – even as a slave Genesis 39:2, a prisoner Genesis 39:21-23 and then as a prime minister Genesis 41:41.
- The first verse of today’s Bible reading shows the secret of Joseph’s fruitfulness he feared the Lord and walked in His ways.
You have to stop committing sin and walk in the ways of the Lord, then you would find out that what had seemed dead before would begin to bear fruit.
I pray that God will give you the grace to fear Him and to always do His will, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, please breathe on every dead thing in my life today, in Jesus’ name.
