RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTION
By Pastor Christ Oyakilome
…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life (John 6:63).
The words of the Master above let
you understand the power, characteristics, and ability of God’s Word.
Everything that proceeds from God, is "God"; that doesn’t mean His
"Person," but that it carries His life: His characteristics. It’s
like the human DNA, which can be traced from something as little as a follicle
of hair from your body. That tiny strand of hair has your unique identity in
it. In the same way, everything that comes out of Jesus—His Word—has His
identity, power, and life in it. His Word that comes to you carries His
"DNA," as it were.
This is the limitless power of
God’s Word. Not every man’s words are life. But it’s remarkable to know that
Jesus said His words are spirit and life. No wonder His Word never returns to
Him void. See how beautiful the Message translation puts it: "So will the
words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work
I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them" (Isaiah
55:11).
If His Word to you is the Word of
healing and health, it’ll work in you and complete its assignment of perfecting
your health. If it’s about your finances, it’ll do the same. His Word of
righteousness perfects the righteousness of God in you when you receive
it. When the Apostle Paul received the words of Jesus, the life of the Word
permeated His entire being, so much so that when handkerchiefs and aprons taken
from his body were placed on the sick, miracles took place (Acts 19:11-12).
You’ve been born again by the
same Word that carries the divine life (1 Peter 1:23); therefore, not only are
you indestructible, everything about you is also blessed. Everything that
emanates from you carries the life of God in it. Everything about you has been
touched by divine energy, and preserved by the life and power of God that’s at
work in you. Be conscious of this, and live the supernatural life every day.
Confession
I thank you Father for the
efficacy of your Word and its ability to produce life in me, causing all I do
to prosper. I’ve been perfected in righteousness, through the power and life of
your Word; besides, my life is a testimony of the wonder-working power of the
Word. Halleluiah!
