GOD IS ABSOLUTE IN POWER

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives,
whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and
dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;” Jeremiah 29:4-5 (KJV)
Jeremiah was shut up in prison, and many of the Jews were in captivity in Babylon. Then, a
message from the Lord came to the Jews through Jeremiah. God told them not to be in a
hurry to leave the captivity because the captivity would take a long time. God told them to
buy properties and build houses in Babylon to live an everyday life.

 

Just put on your imagination that you are in captivity, and all that is on your mind is to leave.
And God is saying no! Instead, He is instructing you to build houses. Of course, Jeremiah
understands that God is sovereign, and His ways are past finding out. He sees the end from
the beginning. The word of God came again to Jeremiah and said: “Behold, I am the LORD,
the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). This same
question comes to you today. God said: If you don’t know who is talking to you, I am the
Lord God of all flesh. I can do anything!

 

Beloved, there is nothing God cannot do. There is no challenge you are facing today that He
cannot handle. He will come through for you. He is the miracle-working God. He is supreme
in position and absolute in power. Who can challenge Him? He does what He wants to do and
takes no permission from anyone. All you need to do is to worship Him and ask Him to throw
His weight around your life. He will heal, deliver, and set you free. He will destroy the yokes
of darkness around your family and your marriage. He will change your destiny. You may be
going through contradictions and challenging times. But this year will not end without your
testimony. A new dimension of God’s grace is coming upon your life.
