Topic: The
Word Of God Gives Life
Text:
Ezekiel 37:1 – 14
There are many lessons in our bible reading
for the day especially when we feel discouraged in life. It shows us the power
of God over hopeless situations. It also reveals the power in God’s word and
inabilities in man. God alone is the one whose word stands. The bible says in
Lamentation 3:37, “Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not
commanded it?” God used this revelation to illustrate how He will
restore Israel from their hopeless situation in captivity to glory in their
land (Ezekiel 37:12 – 14). God likened the spiritually dead situation of Israel
at that time to dry bones. Your church may seem like a heap of dry bones to you;
spiritually dead with no hope of vitality. But just as God promised to restore
His nation, He can restore any church, no matter how dry or dead it may be.
Rather than giving up, pray for renewal and for God can restore it to life. The
hope and prayer of every church should be that God will put His Spirit into it
(Ezekiel 37:14). In fact, God is at work calling his people back to Himself,
bringing new life into dead churches. On the other hand, your spiritual life;
your business, your marriage or other aspects of your life, may be as dry as
bones and there seem to be no more life in them. Never mind, God is able to
turn it around. Go to Him in prayer today.

Food for
Thought:
God has answers to dryness in our physical and spiritual lives.
Memory
verse:

Prayer: God, cause life into any dryness in my physical
and spiritual life. 2. God revive everything in your church especially where I
worship.
