With these words, GOD rebuked a bunch of partial and unjust magistrates. They had the power to condemn or set free; in short, they could ‘play the gods’ and decide of people’s fate; but they abused their privileges and misused the Law instead.
Many centuries later, Jesus repeated those words in John 10:34-35 saying: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken…” Except that He was no longer talking to magistrates alone, but to Mr and Mrs Everybody; to you and I (vs. 24). According to Him, we are gods because the Word of GOD came to us. It is a fact and this Scripture cannot be broken especially because both the Old and the New Testaments bear witness to it (Deut. 13:15b); and the words of Jesus Himself cannot be disputed.
The word has come to us and comes to us every week. In heaven, when GOD and the angels look at us, they see gods –people capable of receiving that word to become children of GOD/totally gods (Jn 1:12); people capable of receiving that word to become as Christ is (1Jn 4:17); people capable of receiving and using that word, the Law of GOD, to judge the world, people and circumstances accordingly; people capable of receiving and using that word to create and recreate the world that they desire to see. The Scripture cannot be broken; we are gods because the Word came to us and we received it –and it cannot return to Him without accomplishing that for which it was sent.
The Bible tells us that faith comes from hearing, and hearing the word of Christ (Rom 10:17). In other words, the Word that comes to us produces faith and faith gives us the courage to that we need to become the mouth and the hand of GOD in the world –faith generated by the Word that comes, enables us to behave as gods. Hence the bewilderedness that people, who have everything they need to decide, rule, reign and create, eventually die as mere mortals and fall like any princes. And they fall and die because they don’t know how to use the weapons and power that they have received…
The Word is therefore central in this process. The word of healing, which comes to you and that you receive in your spirit, has the power to make you a god of healing. And so also is the word of deliverance prosperity, fertility, salvation, marriage, immigration, employment etc. Expose yourself to the Word of GOD as much as possible. Read it, study it; drown in it if need be, but make 2015 the Year of His Word and become the god of your 2015.
To a year of exploits and success,
Happy 2015!
