MESSAGE
People in different languages and histories have called God by certain names. The names of God are so precious and high referenced – no singular or multiple names are enough and worthy to praise our great God.
Whatever name you call God in your local language can never be able to measure His worth or person. But when God calls Himself a name we can all agree that it is perfect.
On certain occasions, God decides to share with humanity some of His names I.e. His Identity – names we can relate to as humans.
In our text of the day, the living God introduced Himself as the Almighty. What a name meaning ‘The God who has all power’, ‘The sovereign God’, ‘The God who is sufficient in all’. This name will give you a clear insight into the person of God and His operation in your life.
There are so many mighty men in the world today, but God is the one who has all the mighty. Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 that all power in heavens and earth has been given to Him. To have all powers means to have all authority and Dominion.
Our God is the only one mighty over every situation of your life. The one who can do all things (Like 1:37). Humans are limited in might and power but not the living God. You must have seen the limit of man as they continue to fail to fulfil their promises. The God of heaven and earth who by His powerful word made the heaven and earth can do all things.
He is almighty over your finance, your health, your marriage, and your day to day life. The. Unlimited God who can turn things around without stress will turn every situation around for your good in Jesus’ name. Doctors may fail not God, economists may predict crisis but God can turn it into abundance (2 Kings 7:1-20).
God does not operate in the real of impossiblity, with Him all things are possible. What God cannot do does not exist. God was coming to a man almost 100 years old and gave him the promise of His almightiness. God’s promises are ever sure, once you have them you can bank on His almighty power to fulfil them.
Consider sisters like Sarah, Elizabeth and Mary what the Almighty did for them. The first two were barren and menopausal but God reversed the irreversible and gave them children. I have testimonies of how the Almighty gave children to women even without a womb. That is what only God can do.
Are you going through any situation that looks impossible? Cry to the Almighty God and He will turn things around for your God. It is not over for you yet, He can do and exceed your expectations(Ephesians 3:20).
REFLECTION
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:27
Nothing is beyond the capacity of Almighty God. All you need to do is to present your case to Him and all will be well.
PRAYER
Almighty God, please help me!
