The Word against the ‘world’: The WORD.

 In his goodness, He chose to make us His own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession. James1:18

The Word is what birthed (or transformed into) all that there is. The bible says:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface. Then God said. “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis1: 1-3

In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He created everything there is.  Nothing exists that he didn’t make. John1:1-3

This actually means that the Word is older than the world.  So it (the world) is definitely no match for the Word.  The Word is older than everything there is i.e. everything that has been created. 

According to Genesis 1 verse 3 above (and many other verses in Genesis Chapter 1); what God did at first was to SAY.  He said things so they could BE.

For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command. Ps33:9

Even when He created man, at first, he spoke to him.  He reiterated to him ‘who he is’, ‘why he is’ and ‘what to do’.  He emphasized man’s place and authority here on earth.  Hence, the function of man was communicated to and implanted in him via the Word.  

And so was (is) man.  

Therefore, man (the spirit of man) responds to the Word.  And also, man responds to words.

Meanwhile, there will always be a definite reaction when the word that’s spoken is backed up by power.  Of course, God is the all- powerful, so every word he speaks is –automatically- fulfilled on earth and in the life of (a) man.

His Word is as good the deed.

It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah55:11

Aside from man being a product of the Word and being sustained by it, he is also a speaking spirit. After all he came out of a supreme ‘speaking’ God.  

Then God said, “Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves...

So God created people in his own image.  God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them. Genesis1:26a&27

The words that proceed out of the mouth of man could make or mar him.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. Proverbs13:2

Also the words that proceed out of the mouth of a man (and backed up by authority) could make or mar another man, especially if the latter does not rely on an authority or power that is superior to that of the one who commands.  

Words will become if they are spoken, well directed, and clear and backed up with power and authority.

Above all, the Word of our father-the creator- supersedes every other.

The grass withers, and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the LORD. And so it is with people. The grass withers, and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:7&8

Tomorrow, we shall study ‘the world’ ( I mean the 'spirit' world. It more like the one the Yorubas call ‘aiye’(means ‘wicked world’) and what makes evil people tick.
