TOPIC: SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING
MEMORIZE:
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:2-3
READ: Isaiah 43:15-16
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
MESSAGE
From my little walk with God in the last 51 years that I have been born again, I have observed that God specializes in bringing something out of nothing. When it seems like there's no way to solve a problem, He makes a way where there is no way, like He did for the Israelites in Exodus 14:21-22.
In Exodus 16:11-17, when the children of Israel were on their way to the Promised Land, God rained down ready-made food from heaven. Because they had never seen or tasted anything like it before, they called it 'manna'. In Numbers 11:1-32, when they were tired of eating only manna and wanted to eat meat, Moses cried to God on their behalf, and God told him there would be meat the next day. As great as Moses' faith was, he found it hard to believe there could be enough meat for all the Israelites within one day. By the next day, God had provided heaps of quails for them. One day, there was no meat, and the next day, there was an abundance. That is my God; He specializes in bringing something out of nothing. This is why you must never underestimate Him.
In 2 Kings 7:1-16, a city was experiencing a severe famine, and God spoke through His prophet that within 24 hours, there would be so much food that nobody would want to buy. There was a top government official who said it was impossible; he saw it come to pass, but he died before he could partake of the miracle. It doesn't matter how hopeless a situation is; just bring God into the equation, and He will bring something out of nothing.
A woman once asked me to pray for her child, who was dumb and had never spoken since birth. I laid my hand on the child and said, "In the name of Jesus," and the child said, "Amen!" I had not even prayed yet, and God caused the child who had never spoken before to speak.
He put a voice where there was none; I was so amazed, I almost jumped out of the window. I pray for you today; in those areas where the enemy has caused emptiness, barrenness, and stagnation, the Great I Am will cause something good and beautiful to come out of them. God specializes in creating magnificent things out of dark and empty places like He did in Genesis 1:1-3. Every nothingness in your life will turn into something bright and beautiful today, in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINT
Lord, please turn every nothingness in my life to something bright and beautiful today, in Jesus

HYMN 13: JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW
1 Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
2 Jesus loves me he who died
heaven's gate to open wide.
He will wash away my sin,
let his little child come in.
3 Jesus loves me, this I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, "Let them come to me."
