Powerful (Daily Devotional)

Hello everyone, welcome back. We are talking about God’s word and today, we will consider the fact that God’s word is powerful. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 3, ‘By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.’ We understand here that even the worlds that were created were created by the power of God’s word. It is an incredible thought that everything that exists was created by God’s word. God spoke and He calls the worlds to come about. It really helps us recognize that even when it comes to our very lives, God’s word was spoken and the worlds came to be. Surely, the things that are pertaining to our lives, God creates through His word and He is able to sustain us through His word. We also see in Hebrews chapter 1, verse 3, the initial part of that verse that God created or He upholds all things by the word of His power. So, God is upholding all things by the word of His power. The word is also called as the word of power. For us to notice that everything was put together by the word, it only reveals that there is something inside the word, in terms of the capacity of the word which is able to make things happen. So, the writer of Hebrews puts it this way, the word of His power, the word carries power. It is because the word has power that it is able to create. God created the worlds with His word and that is the kind of power that the word of God carries. As we put our trust in God’s word, we know that this power packed word is creating things for us. We can also on the basis of these two scriptures notice that God created the visible from the invisible. Similarly, when it comes to our lives, families and ministry, let’s hold on to God’s word. Yes, it may initially seem empty and as if nothing is happening but as we engage with the word, as we believe the word, as we speak the word and live by the word, we will begin to see that from the spiritual, things are being impacted in the natural and God creates in the natural form the spiritual. So, the word of God is very powerful. Hebrews chapter 4, verse 12 is another reminder where we are told that the word of God is living and powerful, it is sharper than any two-edged sword. The powerful word of God is in our hands and I just want to encourage us, no matter which situation we are going through, let’s take time in the word. Many a times, we pray and ask God to intervene in our lives but God gives us a word because He wants to work through that word because that word carries power and let’s hold on to that word. Even in the invisible will be made manifest in the natural when we hold on to the word because the word is powerful. Let’s pray together, Heavenly Father, we thank you for the word of God which you have out in our hands and hearts. We pray that we will fully understand the power of your word and that the things that are impossible will be made possible because of the power of your word in our lives, we thank you for helping us move in this direction, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
