AUGUST, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!
Scriptures For Meditation — Ecc 8:4; Mark 11:22-24
“Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, “What are you doing?”
“Where the word of a king is, there is power…”
Waiting for direction for our concluding prayers on the last day of this month’s fasting and prayer, the first part of our scripture for today (Ecc 8:4) was what kept ringing in my spirit —
As the Amplified version of the bible puts it:
“the word of a king is authoritative and powerful…”.
There is great power in the word of God! The prophets of the Old Testament times exhibited a profound understanding of this truth, as they would usually preface a prophecy to the people with the phrase:
“Thus saith the Lord”;
and the Lord would back up the words that He gave them to speak in His Name, by His miraculous power!
We read about Ezekiel commanding the dry bones to hear the word of the Lord and come to life; God also commanded him to prophesy to the mountains and hills of Israel and to call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals.
Elijah declared to the skies to withhold rain for three and a half years. Jesus spoke to the fig tree and it obeyed; He spoke to the seas and the winds, they obeyed; He called out to Lazarus, dead four days and stinking; Lazarus came back to life —
And the NLT version puts it this way:
“His command is backed by great power. No one can resist or question it.” Ecc 8:4
Even death and the grave could not resist the power and authority of the word of His command.
As the bible tells us in Heb 1:3, He upholds all things by the word of His power. Hallelujah!
With all these in mind, we will open our mouths and declare God’s counsel and blessings over and into the month of August, concerning every area of our lives, church and family.
Come, Bless the Lord
