THE WONDERS OF THE SPOKEN WORD
Memorise: And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3
Read: Genesis 1:1-3, Bible in one year:
Isaiah 15:1-19:15, Acts 4:23-37
Isaiah 55:10-11 establishes the
wonder-working power of the spoken Word o 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
the 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 prophesy to you that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son
of the Living God, your emptiness shall be transformed of 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 2nd Kings 4:1-7, we read about the word of the 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 knew he should not come to a man of God empty-handed but that
he had nothing to give. As if that was not 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 the spoken Word from the month of God’s
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, receive them by faith and you will experience the power in
the Word.
