Ezekiel 37;3 ‘
“Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD’
DAILY READING – Matthew 28; Deuteronomy 9-10; Job 8
When God took Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones, the bones were dead and very dry. Yet God asked Ezekiel to prophesy His Word to these bones. Why would God ask him to do that? Well, because The Word of God has the ability to revive anything that is dead or dry or written off.
Job 14:8 says ‘Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. That means that no matter how old that situation, or how dead it is, by the scent of the water, which is the Word of God it must come back alive. There is no situation so hopeless that the Word cannot reach and restore. If the Word can touch the dead and dry bones in the valley and turn them into a living army, what then can The Word not do? So what is that looks dead around you right now, is it your business, career, marriage, health, academics? Whatever it is, by the Word it must come back to life in Jesus name. Every dead or dry situation answers to the Word of God. Jesus said in John 5:28 ‘Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;’
Therefore whatever looks like it’s in the grave, and has not been working, by The Word of God that has come to you, it must begin to work now.. You are the prophet over your life, speak the Word of God now to your situation and things must surely turn around for your good in Jesus Name.
When Ezekiel prophesied over the fry bones something began to happen.
Ezekiel 37:7 says ‘So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.’
The noise and shaking was the sound of the bones coming alive and moving. But then don’t forget that before Ezekiel began to prophesy, it must have very quiet in that valley. You know they say it’s as quiet as a graveyard. Now stop and think, could that perhaps describe your life? Has it been very quiet around you because of dead situations?. Has there been no sound of joy and rejoicing, no child dedication, no car or house dedication, no wedding bells, no job promotion, no contracts being signed? Has it all been very still and very quiet as if you are in a grave? Well, Jesus said in John 5:28 ‘..all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;
So by the hearing of the voice of God things in the grave can come forth. When Ezekiel spoke The Word of God in prophesy there was a noise and a shaking, the dead bones began to come alive. The same way, by the Word you are hearing now there is coming a noise and a shaking, and everything not working will begin to come alive in Jesus Name. Suddenly your situation will turn around for good, there will be the sound of joy and rejoicing in your home, People will gather to celebrate with you, there shall be congratulations and announcements of good things concerning you. From now on your mourning shall be turned into dancing in Jesus Name.
.PRAYER: Lord, help me to be filled by your Word, so that by the Power in Your Word, I can overcome the oppositions against me, so that every dead situation around me will come alive again in Jesus Name. . .
