Isaiah 25:8 ‘God will swallow up death in victory; And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces;
DAILY READING Ephesians 2; Ezekiel 6-7; Isaiah 40’
F. F Bosworth was a frontier evangelist, a pioneer Christian radio broadcaster and one of the most successful healing evangelists of the 1920s. He was a man who greatly demonstrated the healing power of God’s Word.
However, years earlier while he was a youth, F.F Bosworth almost died due to his lack of knowledge of the power in God’s Word. As a young man, he was a jack of all trades and one day while he was working at one of his many “trades” something very serious happened to him. At that time he was assisting a doctor in an operation on a young boy. The room was so warm that when Bosworth went out into the cold winter air, he caught a severe cold that later developed into serious lung problems. His cough grew worse, and he lived in this condition for eight years. Finally, doctors told Bosworth that his was a hopeless case, and he would not recover. After receiving this report, he “pulled himself together” enough to make a visit home and see his parents once more before he died. However, the Lord had other plans. On the way, he wandered into a Methodist church where a meeting was being held. In this church, a lady told Bosworth that he did not have to die. She told him it was God’s will to heal him. She prayed for him and God’s power healed him. This experience revolutionized Bosworth’s life and set him on the path of the great ministry God used him to accomplish.
Isaiah 25:8 says ‘God will swallow up death in victory; And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces;’
It is indeed God’s plan to wipe away tears and bring healing and deliverance to His people. However many people are being destroyed because they simply lack the knowledge of what God has made available through the Blood of Jesus. Many people are perishing due to lack of knowledge of the power of God.
Spiritual ignorance can be likened to darkness, which is only destroyed by the light of God’s Word. The density of your light will determine the intensity of your victory. When your Light is intense, it swallows up every darkness around you. And the source of light is The Word of God. It is the entrance of His Word that gives light.
Hosea 4:6 says ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:’
Indeed many people today are victims because they don’t even know that divine healing, provision, deliverance and protection are real. However, when you know the truth, you are set free. God wants by His Word to swallow up death, sickness, poverty and everything that represents the rod of the wicked anywhere in our lives.
The word of God, just like by the rod of Moses will always swallow up every rod of the Egyptian in our lives.[Exodus 7:10 &12]
Psalm 125:3 says ‘For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of righteous.’
Indeed the Word of God will always locate and swallow everything contrary to the will of God for us. However, for us to appropriate this power and benefits, knowledge is the key. One discovered truth from God’s Word can change your life forever. This is why we must diligently renew our mind through in-depth study of the Word. We truly have to become lifelong students of the Bible and addict to God’s Word so as to enjoy continual victory. That indeed is the path to freedom.
PRAYER: Father please help me to always walk in the light of Your Word, so that I can continually enjoy the redemptive benefits of Calvary. Indeed without You I can do nothing, but through You I can do all things in Jesus Name.
