The Wisdom Of Getting Whatever You Need Whenever You Need it
As he paced up and down, the sight of his dying loyal servant kept flashing his mind his death
he knew would be too bitter a pill to swallow for him.
Although he is a veteran military man, a captain and a conqueror in every regard yet he was visibly shaken with grieve seeing that the only source of hope of any rescue for his servant was becoming more and more indisposed. Suddenly, in his despair a bright idea struck him.
Then the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only and my servant shall be healed. Matt 8:8.
Then in verse 13: The miracle took place ' And Jesus said unto the centurion, "go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee". And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Seeing incidents like this make us value more what the psalmist was saying in Ps 107: 20 'He sent his words and Healed them and delivered them from their destruction' and we begin to wonder why God places so much emphasis on His words, why does God's word possess so much power and respect even from God Himself? why would God boldly declared that heaven and earth shall pass away but His words shall not pass away (Mat 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33)?
In my article titled "The law of confession" I wrote of an incident that happened in the year 2005: During a program where a man of God gave deep and insightful expositions about the ministry of angels, the wind, the earth, the Heaven, earthquake, water and other natural elements and the role they can play in bringing answers to prayer. He gave a lot of Biblical references illustrating how God has used all the aforementioned in bringing effective turn around and miraculous events and emphasizing that God still work using such means these days. People's faith were geared up, effective prayers were prayed, miracles happened, lot of testimonies followed everybody were happy and the euphoria went away like that, but something changed within me since then, I came to the full realization that even though God work and move in diverse ways that are even beyond our reasoning, yet He work with certain principles and once you apply his principle, result is certain regardless of your age, sex, race or status. I then began to study about various principles by which God operate since then.
In my study of the principles by which God operates, I discovered a very important and potent principle and this is "the Principle of Applying the word of God".
Have you ever wonder why God decided to use His word to create everything He created? have you come across scriptural verses professing how God highly valued His word to the extent of saying He exalted His word more than His name (Psalm 138:2)?
To answer these questions and the ones asked earlier, we need to go back to the very beginning and observed what happened before God created anything.
Gen 1: 1 -3 says In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth....... And God said let there be light and there was light
Looking closely at this scripture, we will discover that what God did in the beginning was simply configuring heaven and earth to respond to His words. That was why all he created starting from vs 3 were created through His words. God configured the whole world in the beginning to respond to his words the same way the manufacturer of your TV set or satellite decoder configured your decoder to respond to your remote control.
No matter what the operation your decoder is executing or whatever station it is displaying when you press your remote control it must automatically respond to it and obey the instruction the remote control is sending across to it. Knowing this simple fact will make us to really understand why God said even if the whole heaven and earth pass away that His words will not go unfulfilled, the reason is simply because heaven and earth are created to respond to God's words and they cannot pass away without an instruction from God's words and even at that, they must complete all earlier sent instructions sent from God's word. It is as simple and as automatic as that.
Therefore, knowing this law that heaven and earth (and all that is within them) are automatically configured to respond to God's word, you can get whatever you need by simply tuning yourself and your needs in line with God's word. If you live by this principle you will always get what you need. If you want to watch a particular station on your decoder you simply press the channel number on your remote control and your decoder will automatically tune to the channel. In the same way if the situation around you is not pleasing to you, then you apply God's word to turn around the situation and it will obey since it has been configured to obey from the very beginning. All through the bible from the creation till revelations are more than enough examples where God and His people have applied God's word to do the miraculous, Impossible and the unbelievable.
The most important question now is how to tune yourself to be able to utilize God's word to Change your life. The answer to this is by charging your life with God's word. Remember that a remote control whose battery is dead cannot change a TV station no matter how hard you press likewise a life that is not charged with God's word cannot change anything. You can charge your life with God's word by steadfastly and consistently studying the word of God that is in line with your needs, believe receive the ministration behind the word and apply the word to your situation. It is only then you can influence your situation and your needs.
In conclusion, the wisdom behind getting what you need whenever you need it is simply following these steps:
- believing the God of the word and making Him the Lord of your life
- charging your life with God's words daily through meditation and study
- applying the words through prayer, prophesy and confession back up with faith
then your life will not remain the same.
We don't have the power to perform miracles. Our words don't have the power that God's words do.
