If you can pause for a minute and think of the sky above you, the sun, the moon, the stars and the ground you are standing on, the sea and the land, the day and the night, the living creatures and how they were formed and created. Think about how the sky or the ground does not collapse and stays in its place (Genesis 1:1-25).
Think about how an airplane was created and its general operations in the sky. Think about how the Wright brothers and etal invented the concept of an aircraft, and where they got the wisdom from? Think about the cars that we use to take us to work and other places. Think about Karl Benz and Andre Citroen and etal, and how they could conceptualise a motor vehicle?
Irrespective of whether these people are saved or unsaved, they are all God’s creation however the key difference is whom they submit their will to. We know that Satan has not created anything before and He has no power to create anything. He can only copy the things of God and destroy what God has created.
All the examples listed above are all the manifestation of the Word of God. What you see around you came out from the things which are not seen (Genesis 1:1-25). The scripture said the earth was void and formless and God spoke and created all things. Meaning, God spoke things that could not be seen into existence. This is enough evidence for us to beleive in the Word of God.
Also, God also declared in His words that the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). He has declared in His Word before the foundation of the world, that all believers both individually and collectively are in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:5).
That same Word that has the power to create things from the invisible to visible, is still the same Word He declared that believers must be in union with Jesus on earth & eternally because everything we need is packaged in Jesus. Salvation, redemption and sanctification is in the blood of our Lord Jesus (Hebrew 10:10; Ephesians 1:7), fruitfulness and prosperity on earth is through Jesus (2 Corinthians 8:9), the gift of the Holy Spirit comes by accepting Jesus as our Saviour (Ephesians 1:13), Faith is through hearing the Word that was spoken by God regarding the message of the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:17), and healing is by the stripes of our Lord Jesus (Isaiah 53:5).
As a beliver if we are not experiencing the manifestation of the spoken Word of God in our lives, then it is because we lack faith in the Word of God (Hebrew 4:2). The way God spoke invisible things into existence and it became visible, is the same way all His spoken Words must come to fruition.
Going back to where I mentioned it is a lack of faith in God’s Word that results in not seeing the manifestation of God’s Word. This is as a result of our minds not being renewed enough to act on God’s Word in order to experience the manifestion. Let us endeavour to draw inspiration from those that heard and had faith on God’s Word such as Abraham, who believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness (Romans 4:3). Through His faith he experienced the manifestation of Gods Word. He was blessed beyond measure and he became the father of all nation even at the age of 100 years old (Genesis 21:5).
Let’s also learn from the mistake of those who heard and did not have faith on God’s Word such as the Children of Israel. Despite the numerous miracles that were performed by God through Moses in the sight of the Israelites, e.g the parting of the Red Sea, the Israelites still showed unbelief and worshiped idols instead of God. This led to twenty three thousand of them dying in a single day (1 Corinthians 10:8).
Let’s have faith in God’s Word so we can experience the full manifestation of God’s promises.
Stay blessed & encouraged!
