TEXT: JOHN 6:59-71
MEMORY VERSE:
“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).
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 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 Pet. 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.
- Find out how you can allow the Word of God to speak life to you.
- Father, let your Word fill my spirit and give life to my entire body, in the name of Jesus Christ.
