Make His Word the Last Word
I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and
which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
– Revelation 1:8
Jesus is the beginning and the ending.
He is the Almighty. When He told us that in the Book of Revelation, He wasn't
just giving us a general piece of information about Himself. He was giving us a
powerful truth we can apply now, today!
Let me show you how. He said He is the
beginning. So no matter what challenge or situation you may be facing right
now, you need to start with Him. John 1:1 says Jesus is the Word. That means,
if you're going to start with Jesus, you're going to start with the Word. Don't
do anything until you find out what the Word has to say about it.
Then, stay on the Word. As Colossians
1:23 says, "Continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved
away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard."
Continue in the faith. The only way the
devil can defeat you is to pressure you into throwing away the Word. Everything
he does, every challenge he brings you is intended to make you doubt the Word
of God. So don't let go of the Word, no matter what may happen. Settle it with
God in prayer and stay with it forever. It is written!
Then end with the Word. Jesus said He
was the first and the last. That means the word of your doctor is not the last
word. Even the word of your pastor is not the last word. The Word of Jesus is
the last Word!
Remember this: You are now what the
Word says you are. You can do what the Word says you can do. And you can have
what the Word says you can have. Begin to believe that. Begin to say it out
loud in faith.
Now shout the victory. Yes, now! You
don't have to wait to see the outcome to celebrate. You have Jesus' Word on the
matter, so you know beyond any doubt that your breakthrough is coming. Once
you've settled yourself on Him, you can be assured that He will have the last
word!
