Creative - Word Power (Daily Devotional)

Hello everyone, we are looking at God as the creator, His creative abilities. Today, we will talk about the word which He used to create the heavens, the earth and everything in between. As we read from the passages in scripture, we find that God encourages us as human beings to also use the power of His word. Jeremiah chapter 1, verse 9, it says, ‘Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.’ We will read verse 10 as well, ‘See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.”’ God put His word in Jeremiah’s mouth when He called Jeremiah as a prophet. Now, every calling that God has for us, God wants something for the kingdom of God to be accomplished through that. So, it is right for us to say that Jeremiah had a work to do. When somebody has work to do, they need to be given the tools to do it. What did God give Jeremiah to do the work that He wanted him to do? We see here that God put His words in Jeremiah’s mouth. So, God gave words and those words had the ability to do God’s work. What are these works? Verse 10, God wanted him to pull out or uproot evil and so God told him that my word will help you root out and pull down. So, the word of God, the authority of God’s word is able to destroy the schemes, the plots and the work of the enemy, satan. God also gave the words of Jeremiah which were His own words, the ability to build and to plant. So, today, as God’s people, we pray, Lord, let they kingdom come, thy will be done, what we are saying is we want to see the righteousness, the hope, the joy, the peace of God established in our world. For us to do that, for us to build a world like that, we need to go by what God is prompting us to speak from His word and by His Holy Spirit. As we speak those words of God, those words of power, we will be able to see an environment built up which is aligned to the way heaven is with the rule and reign of our God. Know the power of words; words can create, words can change circumstances, words can destroy the work of the enemy, they can also build for us the kind of life that God wants for us. I want to encourage us and leave us this scripture from Job chapter 22, verse 8, ‘you will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.’ This is like God telling us, in some other translations it says, ‘you shall decree a thing and it shall be established for you.’ God wants us to speak His word and as we speak His word, we will see kingdom authority being released, we will see things turning around; the joy, the peace and the purity of the kingdom manifesting all around us. Let’s pray together, Heavenly Father, we thank you for the authority of your word. Even as we speak it, I pray that you will help us see the fruit of our words and continue to see your kingdom come, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
