The Efficacy of the Word
by Bayo Omoyiola, Jr.
Scriptural references:
Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven - Psalm 119:89
For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled - Matthew 5:18
But the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was preached as the gospel to you - 1 Peter 1:25
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it - Isaiah 55:10-11
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us - 2 Corinthians 1:20
(Other refs: John 6:63, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16, Jeremiah 15:16, 29:11, Luke 1:45, Isaiah 3:10, John 1:1-3, Rev 19:11-13)
Sermon:
GOD has spoken well about you and his promises concerning you are sure. For all his promises are yea and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20). It is a sure word of prophecy (2 Peter 1:19). You can count on his words and rely on them. For none of his words would go unfulfilled (Matthew 5:18, Isaiah 55:10-11). He has good plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11). His word contains his plan for you. Search out the word and lay hold of his promises. Every word that GOD has spoken concerning you shall be fulfilled in Jesus name. But you have to receive the word by faith and with joy. Mary believed the word and GOD performed what He said to her (Luke 1:45; 2:6-7). Prophet Jeremiah found the word of GOD and started rejoicing (Jeremiah 15:16). That should also be your attitude. Whenever the word comes to you, receive it by faith and rejoice.
The word of the LORD is powerful (Hebrews 4:12). In other words, it is full of power. GOD made all creation with his word (John 1:1-3). That tells you how powerful it is. Hebrews 4:12 also tells us that his word is quick and sharper than a two edged sword. It can pierce any situation and quicken any dead situation. Hallelujah!
The word endures forever (1 Peter 1:25). Psalm 119:89 tells us that GOD’s word is forever settled in heaven. The personality behind the word is Faithful and True (Revelations 19:11-13). That is why I know it shall be well with you (Isaiah 3:10). GOD has spoken good things concerning you and it is coming to pass. If you believe, shout a believing – amen!
Prayer: Father GOD, your promises are yea and amen. I ask that you fulfill every word of yours concerning me. I pray with thanksgiving in Jesus name.
