HIS ALMIGHTINESS!

Thou art the God that doest wonders:
Thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
PSALMS 77 : 14.
READ : PSALMS 107 : 1 - 9 :
1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his
mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath
redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east,
and from the west, from the north, and from the
south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;
they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and
he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they
might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the
hungry soul with goodness.
MESSAGE :
The Bible presents the name of God as the
cumulative self-disclosure of God to His people.
Therefore, the name of God and the person of God
are inseparably related. As a matter of fact,
whenever the Scripture mentions God by any of His
names, it is an attempt to invoke God in His fullness.
When we call on the name of God, God is worshiped
and adored ( Genesis 21 : 33 ), when a people forget
the name of God, they lose His presence ( Jeremiah
23 : 27 ), and when we take the name of God in vain,
God is personally profaned and offended ( Exodus 20 :
7 ).
‘The Almighty’ is one of the popular names ascribed
to God to showcase His divine strength. The strength
of God is made known in creation, providence,
redemption, and the empowering of believers to do
exploit in this world. Psalms 19 : 1 says :
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament sheweth his handywork.”
The Bible reveals that the almightiness of God could
be clearly seen in nature and understood through the
complex design of the things that were created. It is
a wonder to observe the world with its archaeology,
geography, animals and human inhabitants. It is more
breathtaking to consider the design and operations of
the universe as a well ordered whole, where celestial
bodies of humongous sizes and weights are revolving
around their stars at a frightening speed and
accuracy. One cannot help but imagine the
awesomeness of the Almighty designer and creator of
the universe.
All power in Heaven and on earth belongs to God, and
He is unquestionable. His almightiness in providence
gives Him the prerogative to do as He pleases.
Psalms 135 : 6 says ;
“Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven,
and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.”
The book of Daniel 4 : 35 went on to proclaim that,
“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as
nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army
of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth:
and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What
doest thou?”
God is Almighty in redemption according to Exodus 6 :
6 and Ephesians 1 : 19 which both talk about the
exceeding greatness of His power that delivered
Israel from slavery in Egypt and raised Jesus Christ
from the dead. His Almightiness is further revealed
in Revelations 6 : 15 :
“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and
the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty
men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains.”
Everything in creation is subject to His Almighty
power and He has made these available to all that will
accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Are you faced with
challenges beyond your ability? Ask for the divine
support of the Almighty.
PRAYER POINT : Father, please let your awesome
power begin to work in my favour today in Jesus’
name.
