FOCUS
In this series we are going to be looking at what the sword represents and how to effectively use them in a given situation. It’s not enough to have a Sharpen sword but using it rightly is what makes it potent and effective. The power of God is resident in those who are loaded in God’s word. God’s word is the bullet that your sword needs to manifest. Without the word of God, there’s no bullet in your sword, your sword is not empowered.
It is not enough to have a sharpened sword but using it rightly is what makes it potent and effective. The sword of God is the word of God. The word of God will always be relevant to man’s affairs, it’s never going to be obsolete or outdated. There’s not going to be any researcher that will discover and improve on the word. The word is as old as the world itself. The word had been here before we came and it will continually be relevant to us as individuals, collectively, and as a Nation .
We understand the world we are living in, was frame from the word of God. And the things that have appeared are made of the things we cannot see. God is ominiscience, ominipotent and if it is not God, the word of God will not be that potent. God is behind his word and the word is God. Make your sword sharpened and use it as bullet power anytime you are confronted .
LESSON
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The things in heaven, earth are uphold by his power. So, when we are looking at God, we are looking at power. The word of God is power. It’s only power that delivers people; sword without power is useless. Your sword is your power and your power is your sword.
The word of God penetrates, its quick meaning that it’s smart. The word of God is smart and sharp, it’s precised, it doesn’t waste time, it goes down to wherever you are sending it, no barrier, no obstacle, sharper, full of power, sharper than the sharpest knife, it goes to the inner thought, it expose, bring to light what is hidden. It doesn’t matter what the challenge is, you can send the word of God there. From the crown of your head to the sole of your feet, the word of God can penetrate.
Dominion, thrones, power, anywhere, the word of God is the bullet you need. When the word of God is at work, then your sword is at work. Life without power is life without meaning. It takes power to reign and rule, it takes power to get things done, we live in a world of power. The more powerful you are, the more you control your world. It could be political power, financial, academic power but definitely we live in a world of power.
