This is an online publication of the House of Faith that focuses on the power of God working through the faith of men. This publication focuses on three kingdom pillars viz; Faith, Healing and Prosperity. It is our prayer that the soul of men be blessed through these publications.
ALL THAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR HEALING. PART FOUR
THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD
Our last publication established that nothing heals more than the Word of God. If God created men by the Word, the Word then has all it takes to heal whatever sickness; be it curable or incurable.
However, in the heart of many Christian lies great doubt towards the Word. They hear the Word and even read it, yet you hear them say things like, “God can do that but not for me”—they challenge the authenticity of God’s Word. I must submit here that this is the devils way of stealing ones victory. One thing that I’ve found to be true is the power in God’s Word—it never fails come what may!
Recently, I was confronted with a serious situation that nearly took my confidence away. I got to a point in my life that the work I do demanded that I travel both day and night, I’ve heard a lot about night even from preachers; how that the devil controls the night, harmed robbers attacks and so on. Yes, I know these facts exist but they are nothing but facts; they are not the truth and the truth will always prevail over facts any day and any time. However, I needed to locate the truth from the Word. In my quest, God gave me these three Word which I believe will bless someone reading…
Psalm 74:16
The day is Yours (God), the night also is Yours (God) (Italics mine)
Wow! This revelation blew my mind. So devil does not owns the night, the night does not belong to witches and wizards or to harmed robbers, it belongs to GOD. If God created the day and the night, how then would He share a portion of it with the devil?
EXODUS 13:21-22(MESSAGE)
“…so that they can travel both day and night”
This Word was too specific and so direct, speaking to my situation. It opens me up to new level of confidence…to travel whenever I like either day or night.
To destroy the grip of fear completely, God took me to Jeremiah 31.
Jeremiah 31:37
This is what the LORD says: “If the skies could be measured with a yardstick and the earth explored to its foundation, then and only then would I turn my back on Israel”-----and I heard God say this is the revelation of IMMANUEL (God with us)
I’ve built my life on these Words and it will never fail to deliver. I move around anytime not fearing whatever because I have heard God. Beloved, the Word should not be your last option but your first option because nothing works outside the Word. I believe God’s Word with all that I’ve got…not just a mental ascent but a deep seated conviction that He can never lie. His Word is so real to me…
Someone may ask: What gives you this kind of assurance?
Let me take you through a short journey, sharing with you some of my treasured Word that proves God’s commitment to His Word. While I paraphrase some, you will do yourself good by going through them.
Zechariah 1:5-6 “No matter what you’re passing through, God’s Word will surely overtake it”
Psalm 89:34 “No matter what, God will never utter that which He has spoken. If He has ever told you anything, hold on to it. His Words stands forever.”
Hebrews 2:1 "If the word spoken by angels were steadfast, how much more the Word spoken by The SON”
Acts 27:25 " I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me”
Romans 3:4 "Let God be true, and all men liar"
John 6:63 "The weird that i speak unto you, they are spirit and life---spirit don’t die, likewise, life never becomes death. Therefore, God’s Word can never die; time and age notwithstanding…it is forever settled in heaven.
Genesis 21:1 "and God did unto Sarah as He has spoken"
I don't know that which the Lord as told you whether in your secret place or through the mouth of His messenger...only if you can hold on to it...He will surely make good of His words
Isaiah 34:16
"God's Word will never fail to deliver"
Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33
"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away"
It amazes me seeing Matthew, Mark and Luke recorded the same word in the same line concerning the Word of God. These and many others are the foundations upon which my faith in the Word is built. The Word of God can never fail!!! It is the only sure way to victory.
Psalm 12:6 "The words of the Lord are pure words"
You hear that! God's words are pure, it's certain and enduring...
HOW THEN DOES THE WORD WORK?
If the Word brings solution to any situation, then I must know how it works. Permit me to say that the Word of God has its modus operandi. It doesn’t work anyhow, the same way it cannot be got anyhow. However, I’m not attempting to say all about the workings of God’s Word.
Psalm 105:19
Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him (KJV)
Until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him (ESV)
Till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true (NIV)
Until his word [to his cruel brothers] came true, until the word of the Lord tried and tested him (AMP)
If wishes are true, beggars will ride horses they say… Several folks confess the Word but only few stand the trying of the Word. They seek alternatives; claiming to help God. The Word that will work for you must first try you and not until you pass the trial, you are not entitled to the blessing it carries. The Word is likened to fire that refines…before the Word ever delivers; it will put you under test to measure your level of faith and conviction.
David has this to say concerning the trying nature of God’s Word
Psalm 66:12
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place (KJV)
You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, but you brought us to a place of abundance (ESV)
Joseph was ordained a prime minister, yet he went through several ordeals…that is the Word trying him but he kept his eyes on the vision until its fulfillment.
David was anointed king over Israel yet he fought several battles even with his own son before he ever became king.
Abraham was to be father of many nations, yet the Word tried him for several years.
God’s Word is not magical, it doesn’t work anyhow, it surely tests your true nature before it delivers. Hebrews 4:2 says, “The Word did not profit them not finding faith in them” (Paraphrase)
You will need to cleave to the Word even when your situation contradicts the Word knowing that faithful is He that has spoken. Enough of finding cheap ways; stand and stay focused on the Word, it has never fail and it won’t start with you.
Until next time, remain blessed.
