*VOICES OF VICTORY*
DAILY WORD FROM THE LORD
Sunday March 21st
*MANIFESTING IN HIS POWER #2*
“So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.” Ezekiel 37:7 & 10.
We discussed inherent power of the believer yesterday and today, let us briefly discuss restoration power. God brings dead things to live as surely as He brought Jesus back to life. The valley was full of dry bones and He restored them to wholeness and endures them with eternal purpose. This experience and testimony of Prophet Ezekiel shows that God not only gives life, but He also gives new meaning to life. He gives us eternal purpose.
A man was brought to Jesus on Sabbath with withered hand, meaning this man was disadvantaged among his brethren and colleagues. He amounted to nothing as he lacked meaningful testimony of life. Though this was a conspiracy by the Pharisees to indict Him (Jesus) but the man went home restored;
“Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other”. Matthew 12:13.
And He said, Stretch forth thine hand. This was a remarkable commandment. The man might have said that he had no strength; that it was a thing which he could not do. Yet, being commanded, it was his duty to obey (study the response of Prophet Ezekiel in Chapter 37:7,10). He did so, and was healed. So the sinner; it is his duty to obey whatever God commands. He will give strength to those who attempt to do his will. It is not right to plead, when God commands us to do a thing, that we have no strength. God will give us strength, if there is a disposition to obey.
This is the resurrection power which God wrought in Christ. God not only proved himself strong at the resurrection of Jesus, He proved himself stronger than any force or being in the universe. It is because of this power that we are delivered from Satan, the power of death and evil. Resurrection of Jesus assures us of our salvation, eternal life, that reveals the fullness of the power of God toward us, and our faith secured. There is no power greater than the power to restore life to something that is dead. Launch your faith into this second phase of power.
*PRAYER FOR THE DAY:* *FREEDOM IN CHRIST*
Scripture for confession: Acts 2:24 (BBE);
1. Gracious Father, as I begin to pray, free me from the pains of death and deliver me from the power that is too strong for me to handle in Jesus name.
2. Father, give me knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, bring me to find favor, compassion and loving-kindness with all my business contacts in the name of Jesus.
4. Lord, cause me to obtain favor in the sight of all who look upon me.
*Yours;*
Professor J. S. Aboko (Senior Prophet of ROVEM Church).
