Words of wisdom: And He said to me, Son of man can these bones live? And I answered O Lord God , You know. Ezekiel 37:3.
Life point: Hear the word of the Lord!
I am sure that at one time or another in your life, you have felt that everywhere you looked you saw a pile of dead, dry bones, such as the scene in Ezekiel 37:1-4.
God showed a pile of such brittle bones to Ezekiel and asked him “ Can these bones live ?” In other words He was asking , Can anything be done with this mess? Can this situation change?
Then He told Ezekiel to speak to the bones and say to them, Oh you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord “.
If you have a big mess in your life and you are trying to run the devil off your property and keep him under your feet, you can do it with words.
You can say “ Listen you big mountain, hear the word of the Lord! Listen poverty, hear the word of the Lord! Listen, sickness and disease, hear the word of the Lord! Listen, you tormenting spirit, hear the word of the Lord!
As you read the remainder of the story in Ezekiel 37, you will find that after Ezekiel had done as God told him to do and prophesied to those dry bones, they came together, sinews and flesh came upon them and skin covered them.
All of that happened because one man prophesied God’s Word over a situation that needed to be changed.
Let me ask you what are you saying to the dead , dry circumstances in your life? Are you prophesying to your dead bones? Or is what you are saying making them more dead and dry?
Maybe this sounds familiar to you “ Nothing in my life is ever going to change. Every time I get one naira /dollar the devil takes it away from me .
It never fails, every time I think something good is going to happen, I get attacked.” If that is what you are saying, then you are just asking for more trouble.
Every time you speak that way, you are giving the devil the right to use his power. Instead learn how to speak how to speak God’s Word and neutralize Satan’s power.
Don’t talk about how you feel or what you think negatively, don’t look at your life and what you do not have.
Open your mouth and talk about what God has promised you! Once you change your words, it is all over for the devil.
There’s nothing he can do against God’s Word. The victory belongs to you child of God!
Prayer
Lord help me to feed on Your Word and let Your Word dwell richly in me to always confess in it! Amen!
