We serve a Powerful God
“These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.”
John 11:11-17 KJV
The God we serve is all knowing and all powerful
in John chapter 11, this is the story of when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead
Lazarus has already been dead for 4 days
If you read the full story you will see that God raises Lazarus from the dead in 4 days
How powerful is the God we serve
That in a situation that has looked dead for so long in our life
He begins to bring life back into the situation that turns everything around in our life
Sometimes we doubt God power because we expect a miracle to happen immediately
But if you trust God and know that he is going to do what he promised you
It doesn’t matter if it take a week, months, or even years
If God said that he is going to do it
Trust him
But look at this
Our God is so powerful
In Matthew chapter 27:50
Is where it starts when Jesus has been crucified and gave up the ghost
Someone remembered that they over heard Jesus that he said that in 3 days he will rise again
A promise he had kept that had came to pass
If you continue reading in Matthew chapter 28
You will find that Jesus kept his promise and rose again on the 3rd day
I know some may be thinking what does this have to do with power
We already read that Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead in 4 days
And we never discuss the power of God to raise himself in 3 days
That should give you the hope and the faith that despite what you’re going through
Despite the situation and what it may look like
We serve a powerful God that keeps his promise
And that power is in you today
God gives you the power to go out and spread the gospel and help people
The same power God uses through us for others
Is that same power he will use through us for us
With God all things are possible
He said it was possible and showed us it is possible
You may have been suffering for a while now
You may have had your fair share of bad days
But your best days are still ahead
Jesus suffered for a long time
And just in time he reigned victorious
By the power of God
That same power is what God gives to us
Don’t give up
You come too far
The road is not easy
And God did not bring you this far to leave you
Our God is powerful
You may feel defeated but the joy of the Lord is our strength
So do not fear
God is with us
God will strengthen us and help us
Isaiah 41:10
