THE SEED
“Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29
The potency of God’s Word is the power and force of His Word that makes it possible to do whatever it says or demands. The Lord himself says that His Word is like a fire and like a hammer! The word became flesh through Jesus, going out of His way to redeem sinners, lifting the fallen, encouraging the despised, and giving hope to everyone who believes. The potency of God’s Word is its ability to become what is pronounced. The Word is like fire to purify our life like gold and to burn into ashes diseases, illnesses, and sin. The Word is like a hammer to smash a stony heart and demobilize all our enemies. The potency of the word of God is for cleansing. The Bible says how can a young man keep his way pure, by guiding it according to the word of God. The word of God can also be stored in our hearts, to be memorised and meditated upon so that we might not sin against God. Dearly beloved, you can depend on God’s Word any day, anywhere and in any circumstances, especially in this time of economic challenges. This truth puts us at ease as we journey through life because we know that the Word of God cannot fail. The Word of God is truly powerful to meet our everyday needs.
BIBLE READINGS: Psalm 119: 9-11
PRAYER: Father Lord, let the potency of your words fill me for constant meditation.
