WHEN GOD SPEAKS……..
Pr. Geoffrey Kibombo
If God renews his mercy every morning, He can
as well renew it every year. That is why the problems of the past don't concern
us today. God is going to give us grace to overcome challenges of the New Year.
When God speaks a word, he sends it with
creating power to bring it to pass. We therefore thank God that we are
going to harvest and he is going to create a new world for us this year.
Psalm 65:11 (NLT) – “You crown the
year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard
pathways overflow with abundance.” Harvesting refers to the various things we are going
to get and levels we shall descend to this year according to the word of God. All we have to do now is to prepare ourselves.
Isaiah 38:1 (ESV) – “In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death.
And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, ‘Thus says
the Lord: Set your house in order
………………” When God sends a word that He is going to do
something, He also calls on His people to prepare themselves for what he is
going to do.
In 2 Chronicles 20:15-17, the prophet of God went to
King Jehoshaphat and said;
“Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you,
King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to
you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the
battle is not yours, but
God’s. 16 Tomorrow go
down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will
find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not need to fight in
this battle. Position
yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not
fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”
God uses his appointed servants – Pastors. He speaks through them and His hand is upon them. If you want to see the hand of God, believe his servants, humble yourself and God will exalt you in due time. Jesus said in John 13:20 (NIV); “Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
The hand or arm of God are
the signs, wonders and miracles performed in our midst. It's that healing, job,
marriage, peace or anything you acquired miraculously. (Psalms 44)
You will not see his hand
until you believe the ones he has sent. Matthew 23:39 “For I say to you, you shall see Me no more till
you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
