TOPIC: JESUS' POWER OVER NATURAL LAWS
Read John 6:16-21
MEMORISE: So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid (John 6:19)
EXPOSITION
The walking of Jesus on the water reveals His power over natural law. Natural law is law which is derived naturally from human nature or physical nature, and therefore has universal validity. Natural law is an ethical belief or system of beliefs supposed to be inherent in human nature and discoverable by reason, rather than revelation (Rom. 2:14-15).
According to Aristotle, the man referred to as the father of natural law, said "this life is governed by laws and anyone who violates any particular law will face the consequences". One of these natural laws is the law of cause and effect. This law says that for every cause there is an effect, and for every effect there is a cause. For every action we take, there is an effect.
It is the violation of natural law for a man to walk on the water, as Jesus did. The negative effect of breaking this law is for one to sink into the water and drown. The one who has all power violated this law and He faced no consequence. Hallelujah! The Scripture says, 'For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him' (Col. 1:16).
When Jesus was walking on the water, His intention was to join His disciples inside the boat and rescue them from capsizing, because their boat was about to capsize, as a result of the great wind that blew (Jn. 6:18). If He could not find a boat to take in order to meet them, He had to command the water to become rock under His feet.
Natural law is no barrier to God. He can do and undo. Your own will not be difficult before Him. What is that negative natural law that has been taking its cause over your life, home, endeavours, etc.? The One who has power over nature is here now to take care of it. Call upon Him, now and always.
PRAYER POINT
1. Every natural law that is against my progress, I nullify you, in Jesus' name.
2. I retrieve myself from every tradition, or family background that is drawing me back and down, in Jesus' name.
3. Lord, remove all barriers that make it difficult for us to have good governance in our country.
