No More Dry Bones.





Ezekiel 37:3-5 :And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou know est.
 4  Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
 5  Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
The human spirit is fervent and has special Capacity to navigate through impossible situation. Everyday we hear stories of travail and triumph how many people have endured impossible diseases, trust, grief, etc and come out victorious.
For those who are Christians many have testified how God has taken them through tough times and can owe it to God for turning around their tough times to work for their God. Am speaking this from the awareness of how human suffering can drain one physical, emotional and spiritual.

Can these bones live again?

This is the groaning from someone in an impossible situation. The spirit of the Lord leads prophet Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones, a type of who the nation of Israel were.. Once a powerful nation with fortified city, a nation which prided itself in Its God. Wasn't this a nation whose God made them so triumphant against its enemies and whose cities lie in ruins and people carried as captives to a foreign land?
Its in this Hollow space of desperation that God almighty erupts with this simple query "can these bones live again?" The prophet must be like you are kidding God, right? How do you except such a mass of death to gather up and live again?

what is that impossible situation that marauds around you today? Do you have even words to describe the tears and the desperation that threatens to eat into the very life in you? Are you drenched in worry ? How about hearkening to the voice of him who calls the weary to draw to him? "Come to me all yee who are heavy laden and wearied and i will give you rest?"

if God of all the universe descends on that situation and asks you if your story can change what will your answer be?

Prophecy to these Dry Bones

ooh dry bones hear the word of God : The grace of God gives us power to maneuver through tough situations, for the children of Israel it was to maneuver through a wanton destruction of the state . The capture of the cities of Jerusalem and Judah left a once powerful state with nothing to boast of .

No matter what you face in life or what life throws at you , you can still Burst  forth with exuberant hope'
 when God storms in your daily affairs, struggles and hassles , everything gets caught up in him like a whirlwind.

let the dry bones live . God is causing his breath of life to enliven in you. You can rise up, wipe those tears . Like the children of Israel . You shall live and not die. Those who taste of christ surely find life.Those who are in Christ have crossed over from death to life, from hopelessness to hope, from despair to a hope that anchors within the veil, that is steadfast and unmoved (Heb6:18)


May you find Hope and peace and rest in christ alone. In him you have no more dry bones moment for he sustains you with his long life .

Why is the gospel the good news?

Because it is an announcement: if I had something good and keep it to myself, the good thing remains with me. The gospel is not the go...
