Title: Jesus Christ has released life to your dead situations.
“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”
Romans
4:17 KJV
Abraham, the father of faith believed God when all human reason for hope had gone. He knew God gives life to the dead. Faced with his own dead body- reproductively speaking-no problem, Sarah's womb also dead- no problem. He against hope believed in hope, he staggered not, wavered not at the promises of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith giving glory to God.
He knew that :
1. The words that God speak are Spirit and life.
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
2. In Jesus Christ is life. “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”John 1:4 KJV
3. The Spirit of resurrection gives life to everything it touches in its wake. "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”Romans
8:11 KJV
4. The word of God is like a life giving river, which gives life wherever it flows: “And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.” Ezekiel 47:9 KJV.
Look at situations around you and release the life giving word of Jesus Christ into them. Look around Planet Earth for every situation threatened with dying but where God says it must live and release the life of God into them - be it famine , wars, unrest etc.
Point of reflection:
Thank God in Christ for the life giving Spirit of God which you received when you were born again.
Present to Jesus Christ "your dead"- your humanly hopeless situations and without staggering, wavering speak the life of God into them.
Celebrate that it is done in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and give to God all the glory.
