The word of God is most powerful. It lives and is
Unlimited just like God. It is a spy agent for the fellow who knows how to use
it well. If there is one weapon that the enemy can’t resist, it is the word of
God, yet often times, it appears the word does not work. Is God a liar or what
is wrong? There are a few instances where the word of God may not work.
The
first is during a trial of faith situation. While undergoing a trial of faith,
the word of God is suspended for that individual or else he or she can never
successfully go through the trial. For instance, during a trial of faith that borders
on your finances, no matter how sin free, God-pleasing, or Heaven-bound you
are, even if you pay your tithes regularly, at that trial period, it may not
stop the devourers from devouring, and your promised blessing may be kept in
abeyance. But after the trial period, your pending blessings will be delivered.
Do not think you have lost such blessings during your trial period? They are
only reserved, to be delivered after the trial.
Another situation that may hinder the working power
of God’s word is when it is not skillfully employed. According to today’s
reading, if you are applying the milk of the word when strong meat or bones of
the word is what you require to handle a situation, it will fail to deliver the
result. For instance, if you are reciting the Lord’s Prayer during a time of
need, instead of applying this prayer model and specifically asking for your
need to be met, you may not have your desired answer. Or if you ask God for
something without backing it up with relevant promises documented in the Bible,
He may not answer you? It is not your prose in prayer that compels God into
action, but His Word that you send back to Him. Even when He does not want to
grant the request for your sake, He would be compelled to do so for the sake of
His integrity. A believer died and went to Heaven. He was so happy to make it
and to see all that God had for him. But at some point, Jesus came to him to
say, even though He would want him to stay on, yet He has to release him
because some brethren were asking for his resurrection and that they were
standing on God’s word. So the Lord said He had no choice but to honour His
word. The brother returned to his body where they were praying at his hospital
bed. Boy he was sad and angry. Another situation is making requests while you
are living in sin.
“For everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the
word of righteousness: for he is a babe.” Hebrews 5:13
Check your life and find out in what ways you have made the Word to fail concerning you. Repent and make it work today
