The Bible talks about the creation of the world in the book of genesis
quoteGenesis 1: 1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.>quote
When God began to create the world, the Bible records that the earth was shapeless and without form, it even went further to tell us that it was dark, but God never gave up or say it's too dark down there, let me look for another place or another location, I want us to understand that no situation that we find ourselves in, on earth that can be worse than the situation of the earth before its creation, I want us to pay attention to God's response to this situation because the Bible says in
quote1 John 4: 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.>quote
As he is so are we in this world. Instead of whining about the situation of the earth he actually spoke to it, he said let there be light and there was light and light came and from then on, the earth was created.
What we should learn from from this is we are always in control and our mouth is our tools we should always use it to speak things forth in faith
quoteRomans 4: 17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.>quote
This Bible passage tells us that he calleth those things that be not as though they were, this should be our testimony today.
Let us take another significant example from the Bible to further buttress this point, the story of Moses and the red sea, the Isrealites were being pursuedby their adversaries, the Egyptians, who turned their lives into hell and and in front of them was the red sea, now how hopeless is this situation, Moses quickly cried out to God, in that kind of situation it would have been understandable to if Moses were to say oh God thank you, at least you gave us a taste of what freedom looks like and then maybe turn to his people and tell them, this looks like the end folks, this is what some Christians will do, they would give up without even seeking God's opinion concerning the situation, and funny enough the Bible let's us know
quoteJeremiah 32: 27. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? >quote
That nothing is too hard for God,moses recognizing this called on God and instantly God gave him directions and the red sea divided in halves for the isrealites to walk through on dry ground, what a miracle. The isrealites had doom inches away from them but thanks to Moses, they remembered God, in any situation we find ourselves, no matter how dark we think it is, we can still command light to appear.
Let us take a look at another story in the Bible, the story of the walls of Jericho, the same people of Israel with another obstacle, they had to go through the city of Jericho and there came a wall blocking their way, they sought for God's direction and the seamingly high walls came crashing down, so easily.
I want us to look at Isaac, God blessed him in a land of famine Genesis 26:1-16 to the extent that he became too rich that king abimelech had to send him away.
No matter how big that sea is, it can be divided, no matter how tall or gigantic that wall is, it can come crumbling down, no matter how the economy of the country you live is, God can still bless you there. The Bible tells us
quoteLuke 1: 37. For with God nothing shall be impossible.>quote
Quit thinking your situation is hopeless, or too difficult, it can't get worse than those in the Bible and God triumphed gloriously in those situations, and he is the same yesterday, today and forever, he hasn't changed, if he did it then, he can do it again, just be ready to use your mouth to chat your course, because therein lies the power of life and death, so I want us to understand that we are always in control no matter how daunting the situation might be, there is always light at the end of every tunnel, stay positive.
