3^RD JANUARY, 2022

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Genesis 8-10

READ: JOHN 11:38-44
38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. d And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.

EXPOSITION

The word, 'Omnipotence' refers to the fact that God is all-powerful, infinite and sovereign. His almightiness is defined in the fact that no one can query whatever He chooses to do, at any point in time (Psa. 115:3). Omnipotence is the quality of having unlimited, or very great power. God's power is limitless. He has supreme power, given to Him by no one. He owes His power to no one. His power source is from Him. He is absolute, second to none. He is maximally great. He can, and will do what He wants, and He is not subject to physical limitations like man. He has power over everything in heaven and on earth-angelic beings and heavenly structures, man, nature, forces,... everything. He is capable of being everywhere, every time, at the same time. By His omnipotent power, He commanded all things to be (Gen. 1:3,6,9), and sustains them all. What a mighty God!

The Omnipotence of God shows that He cannot act contrary to His Holy character, revealed in His Word (Num. 23:19). So, He alone can be trusted without reservation (Lk. 1:37). At the tomb of Lazarus, He showed forth His limitless power over death. Jesus could have avoided the death of His friend, Lazarus, but He wanted to show His omnipotent power. He responded to the lament of Mary, If you had been here by demonstrating (not defining) that He is the resurrection and the life, showing His power over death. If Christ could raise the buried and stinking Lazarus after being 4 days dead, what would be too much for Him to do? (Lk. 1:37).

Remember, He is still the same (Heb. 13:8), believe that He can do all things and He will show forth His omnipotent power in your life and situation. God is capable of doing all things. He will do all He says. He never fails, believe Him and His Word and you will experience His mighty move upon your life and home.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Omnipotent-Father, show forth Your mightiness in my life and home; prove Yourself, O Lord.

2. Pray that God will visit as many as are suffering from ailment or the other, whether in the hospital or in their homes, and heal them.

3. Pray for all medical practitioners and health workers that God will work with and through them to restore health and life to ailing people.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
