JUST AS GOD SAID Wednesday

Text: 1 King 17:8 – 16 Memory verse:
v 16
God’s
word that has been spoken doesn’t go back to him without fulfilling the purpose
for which it was sent (Isaiah 55:11) When God says something, nothing hinders
it from coming to fruition because He is not man who cannot cause His word to
manifest (Lamentation 3:37). Verse 16 confirms what God said through Elijah the
prophet in 17:14.
When the widow of Zarephath met Elijah, she thought she was
going to prepare her last meal. But a simple act of faith produced a miracle.
She trusted Elijah and gave all she had to him. Faith is the step between
promise and assurance. Miracles seem so out of reach for our feeble faith.
However, every miracle, large or small, begins with an act of obedience. We may
not see the solution until we take the first step of faith. This is what God
expects from us.
God’s
word taken to heart by faith is the gateway to miracle. Most people don’t
believe the word of God (the Bible) because the name used there is not theirs
but Abraham, Moses, Hannah, Elizabeth, Samuel, etc. The proper way to get the
real blessing from the word of God is by fixing your name where there is a
name. Where it speaks good, you will learn and where it speaks evil you will
receive warning. Whatever God has spoken about you, just believe and act in
obedience. Is it about your salvation, marriage, studies, job, children, fruit
of the womb, etc? It will surely come to pass.
Food for Thought: Isaiah 45:23.
Prayer: Lord God, as you speak to me through your word, grant
me the heart to act on them so that all will come to fulfillment in Jesus name.
