Few people have power and fewer people have enormous power. Some leaders are even addressed as supreme leaders. However, the power of man slides into vanity when compared to the power of God. In Lamentations 3:37, the Bible says:

Who is it who speaks and it comes to pass when the Lord has not commanded it?

This means that the voice of man is allowed to come to pass only if the Lord has not challenged it. If the Lord says no, then nothing spoken by any man will see fulfilment. Our God has the final say, praise the Lord.

One of the accurate words to describe the power of the Lord is Omnipotent, a two-part word meaning Omni (all), and Potent (powerful). Combined, this means all-powerful. Much as we try arrogance and believe that we can do and undo, there is only one all-powerful God, any other impersonator is simply fake. If you don’t believe, just ask king Nebuchadnezzar. He thought he had all powers, and had built his kingdom by those powers, until he found himself eating grass in the bush like animals for seven years.

When you make the blind to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, and the dead to rise, there’s only one word to describe you: powerful. When you speak the heavens to appearance, the earth to existence, and the seas to being, you can only be supernatural. That’s the nature of our God. He speaks and the sea stops roaring. He looks and the wind stops blowing. Not even a tsunami could stop Jesus from sleeping in the boat. He was too much for any natural phenomenon. When Pharaoh tried to replicate His power through his magicians, they got stuck. In the end, even Pharaoh’s army confessed that the Lord was fighting Egypt on behalf of the children of Israel. The devil may try, but no one can fake His power.

In Psalm 62 verse 11, the Bible says:

God has spoken once; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.

In Isaiah 45 verse 5a:

I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides me.

Our God is the King of kings, and in Ecclesiastes chapter 8 verse 4, the Bible says:

Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

There are no two ways to say it; the God who spoke all that we see into existence can only be described as Omnipotent. This is the God I will rather worship and serve and associate with. Do you know this God?

What to Do?

If you don’t know God, there is no better time to come to Him and ask for forgiveness and mercy. No one wants to be caught on the opposite side of power. You have the chance to turn your life around today. Would you?
