« And with this Word, God created all things. Nothing was made without the Word. Everything that was created . »
Read: Genesis 1:1-5 NKJV
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
Understand:
Those who fail to live according to God’s word don’t realize that they cannot attain their full potential in life without the power in the word, which created all things in the universe.
Going against God’s word is like standing in the path of a moving train.
Those who do this will only succeed in wreaking havoc on themselves now and in eternity.
When an engine is used contrary to its manufacturer’s guidelines, it breaks down.
For example, if you try to run a diesel engine on petrol, you will only end up watching the money you spent in buying it go up in flames. This illustration describes what happens when a person goes contrary to God’s word, either ignorantly or deliberately.
Since all things were made by the word of God, it goes without saying that this same word has the power to repair and restore those things it created that have become faulty.
Speaking on the restorative and curative power of the word, Psalm 107:20 NKJV says:
« He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. »
It is therefore not surprising that God always emphasizes compliance with His word.
Genesis 1:2 reveals that before the creative power of God’s word came into action, the earth was shapeless, empty and chaotic. However, when the omnipotent power of the word was released, the earth took good shape.
Beloved, are you in despair because your life seems void and shapeless?
If you allow God’s word to operate in your life today, everything will turn around for the better.
When God commanded that there should be light, light came into being.
Those who live by God’s word do not live in darkness, because Jesus is the Word of God and also the Light of the world (John 8:12).
When He comes into your life, emptiness becomes history.
For one reason or the other, some people have never experienced a good day since they were born.
If they allow God’s Word, in the person of Jesus, to dwell in them, they will have a testimony like the one Peter had. As a fisherman, Peter labored all through the night, without catching any fish, but when he allowed Jesus into his boat, he had a net-breaking and boat-sinking catch of fish in the same place where he had earlier labored and caught nothing (Luke 5:4-7).
It is indeed God who gives power to get wealth, and this power is in His word (Deuteronomy 8:18, Joshua 1:8).
The light that God’s word gives is available to anyone groping in darkness.
Remember, darkness is harmful, and so we need the light of God’s word to illuminate our paths so that we do not stumble or fall in a ditch. Psalm 119:105 NKJV says:
« Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. »
Beloved, embrace the infallible word of God today, and it will do you good.
Prayer point: Father, let Your word be glorified in my life from now on in Jesus’ Name.
