Victory over Problems

Reference:”HOLY BIBLE” –Ezekial 37: Verses(v) 1-14.

In this passage Lord made the man of Lord (prophet) to walk around a valley of very dry bones (v:1, 2).Dry bones indicate the dry portions of our life which have no chance to prosper.
1.WILL YOU ACCEPT JOYFULLY?
When Lord wants you to walk through(around) such a valley of very dry situations,will you welcome it? You should accept joyfully.Because it is said that the hand of Lord was upon prophet(v:1) and Lord only took HIM to such a valley.In our life too,Lord wants us to walk through such valleys which will mould us.Never forget that HIS hand is upon you while crossing such valleys.So remain happy.
2.ANSWER TO A CRITICAL QUERY:
Lord asked prophet whether that bones could get life back(v:3).The answer of the prophet teaches a wonderful lesson to us.Prophet said that Lord could alone know it.In our lives too,there is no need to analyze the problems(dry situations) which challenge us.Lord knows our problems and also the solutions.So never apply your human knowledge or experience on problems.Analyze your ways,Obey Him in everything.He has answer for every critical query in your life.
3.SPEAK TO YOUR PROBLEMS IN HIS MIGHTY NAME:
Lord asked prophet to speak His mighty word to dry bones(v:4).Speak to your problems.Keep telling His words.Problems will tremble before His promises.Receive
His word everyday,apply to your problems.You will definitely enjoy miracles.Then no more your problems cause pain but will give pleasant experiences.
4.HIS WORK IN STEPS:
Lord gave life to that dry bones as He promised.But He did everything in steps(v:7-9).Likewise in dealing each problem of ours,Lord has some definite steps.Sometimes it is very difficult to comprehend His style.But simply obey and wait as the prophet did.Every step of our Almighty’s plan has right time.We have to wait for His time to get the best.His promise never fails.
5.A GREAT MANY BONES:
Lord dealt the issue with a great many bones(v:2).Because,later bones came together(v:7) to result in a structure.When we face problems(bones) after problems,we often give up.But every “pile of problems” in your life is allowed by Lord to result in a wonderful “Structure of blessing”.Problems are the tools of Lord to bless His people.So never get frustrated on your problems.Welcome problems so that your “structure of blessing” can be shaped beautifully.
6.DELAY IN HIS ULTIMATE PROMISE:
The ultimate aim of Lord is to put breath in dry bones.He said it twice(v:5,6).But Lord performed some base work(attached tendons,provided flesh and covered with skin) before fulfilling His ultimate promise.There is no meaning in just giving breath to dry bones without this basework.If He did so,bones might be inactive though they had life.In our life too,this base work is very essential.So only our Father carries His work very wisely in gradual steps.Satan may confuse you while His process is in progress.But use His word to overcome the cunning counsel of satan.Victory is ours.
7.RATTLING SOUND:
It is said that the bones came together after a rattling sound(v:7) which is a series of short loud sounds when bones hit against each other.We too hear this rattling sound in our lives when Lord allows problems to hit against each other.Unless and until the problems hit against each other,they can’t come together to yield a “structure of blessing”.Never fear for the rattling sound,but praise and pray to bear the noise.
8.ADDING BEAUTY:
A mere structure formed out of bones will not be good to look at.So Lord attached tendons,provided flesh and covered with skin.At every step of His process ,He is adding beauty.So delay brings beauty.Lord makes you to wait at every step of His process so that your life’ll be adorned with spiritual gifts and fruits.Never murmur in delays but praise Him joyfully.Lord is with you forever.
9.SPEAK TO THE ULTIMATE NEED IN HIS MARVELLOUS NAME:
Though there resulted a structure,it had no breath(v:7).Life came when prophet prophesied to the breath.Do not lose your hope at the last moment.You might have accepted all the steps of His process joyfully,obeyed Him in everything,waited till today.Devil tries to swallow you at the very last stage.Because satan always prevents you to conquer His promises.So be careful at the last moment of the process.Hold His word,fight satan,speak to the ultimate need in His precious name.It is sure that you will see green pastures instead of dry portions you experienced so far.
10.CELEBRATE THE VICTORY:
Just imagine the joy of prophet when dry bones came to life and stood up on their feet(v:9).This will be our experience too,when we follow the path of prophet.Lord can give life to the remains in grave(v:12).So never run away from dry bones,speak to them.You will surely celebrate the victory of Lord.Today you may be in a land of oppression,losses,pains etc.But Lord’ll bring you back to the land of Israel(blessing)(v:12).He’ll put His spirit in you and settle you in your own land(v:14).March forward with faith.
WISHES IN JESUS NAME.
