The Power of the Word of God

UV 4284/10000 The Power of the Word Of God He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called the Word of God. Revelation 19 v 13 In this vision of Jesus Christ as the Conqueror who is riding a white horse, wearing a white robe dipped in blood, He is described as the Word of God. The robe also has the name inscribed King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. The white robe signifies His purity and sinlessness. It being dipped in blood implies the ultimate and absolute sacrifice He made on the cross. As God, His word is all powerful to act in all situations. It is the sword in His mouth that slays some and gives life to some. It is the sovereign power of the King of Kings. When we memorise the word of God, we are storing divine and sovereign power of God in our hearts and minds. When we pray with the word, we are appropriating that power and grace. When we speak the word, we are releasing that power. When we apply it to our lives, we are releasing it into our lives. When we obey it, we are acknowledging the lordship of Jesus in our lives. Skimmed milk powder when dissolved in water releases all the ingredients and properties of milk. Likewise, the word of God is the power of God, the mercy of God, the hope of God, the grace of God, the love of God, the will of God all combined and when it is dissolved in our lives, it releases these ingredients and properties. The shed blood of Jesus and our faith in it purifies us to be pure in the sight of God. Jesus riding a white horse as the Resurrected Redeemer in contrast to riding humbly on a donkey during His 33 year earthly sojourn is a sign that He is now to be worshipped as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The authority and power and dominion we exercise on earth is exercised in His name and on His behalf. The first creation led to God giving man authority, power and dominion over all creatures on earth. The second creation or redemption by the blood of Jesus gives us authority, power and dominion over all the spiritual powers of darkness that are the prime movers of all crimes, evil and sin on earth. The vision of John has the armies of heaven, all dressed in fine linen, dazzling white and clean, following Him on white horses. It implies that we, as believers also constitute an army in addition to the army of angels following Jesus. The white horses we ride implies that the means that we adopt in our lives should be as pure as our goal to make Jesus known as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Our lives are riding on extraordinary spiritual power. We are engaged in spiritual warfare. Our weapons are not carnal or of the flesh or forged of perishable materials of this earth. Our armour is not also of this world but the whole armour of God. Armies of angels are available to help us. Our leadership or commander is not of this world, not mortal but supernatural. Other armies go into war and the soldiers perish while the Commander in Chief stays at a safe distance while our Commander -in-Chief led from the front and died. He died a man but was resurrected as the Word of God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Judge of the nations, dispenser of justice. We do not have to fight as our Commander has already won the battle for us. The rest of mankind has kings and lords, of flesh and blood, mortal, sinful, selfish while our Leader is immortal, eternal, sinless, selfless. The words of the kings and lords and rulers or commanders of this world are unreliable, based on lies and half truths while the word of Jesus is the very word of God and reliable to the last letter and word. Nothing, therefore is a threat to us. Nothing is impossible, nothing overwhelms us. All is possible as long as the goal and the means are pure and find favour with God.
