THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT

Creation knows the voice

That spoke into the void

The breath that brought the dust to life

And sang the stars to form

The darkness fears Your voice

That drove it back before

And though the night is long, I know Your light

Will drive it back once more

One word from You

Things change on Your authority

Your Word, it’s true

Things change on Your authority

Brooke Ligertwood – Authority

One of the erosion we see in modern life is the decline of authority. In Western culture, every statement is subject to challenge, fostering a belief that all perspectives are equally valid. While there is something noble and freeing about this notion, it has sadly cultivated a mindset where everyone is perceived as equally knowledgeable about all things and in the process diminishing accumulated wisdom. Consequently, instead of wisdom or knowledge being revered and respected, it is often met with skepticism and challenge.

Sadly this same attitude has been applied to the scriptures and its authority is no longer respected within and outside of the church. Our text for today affirms that all scripture is inspired by God. Jesus himself demonstrated the enduring power of God’s word when he said ‘Heaven and earth may fade, but the word of God will never fail’. He further illustrated its effectiveness by using scripture to overcome the enemies temptation. His words sent those in captivity to demonic forces free. It brought the dead back to life and calmed the stormy sea.

Today, human words can bring liberation and hope when they speak life. Conversely, they can also be wielded to instill fear and exert control.

Throughout the month of April, we aim to deepen our understanding and appreciation of God’s word through prayer. We desire to experience its transformative power and allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives through scripture, and through our application of it in the lives of others.”
