Understanding God: He is Omnipotent
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. – Genesis 17:1
The attribute of God for our meditation today shall be His omnipotence. From our reference passage, we see God introducing Himself to Abraham by saying He is the Almighty God. Another word for almighty is omnipotent. In other words, the God of all might and power who has the ability to do and to undo.
It is pertinent for us to note this attribute of God, particularly as a grounded conviction in it would serve as a guardrail to help us successfully navigate the intricate terrains of life and living. God is the Almighty. He has all might, all power and all abilities. Nothing is beyond Him.
Knowing that one has an ally in God who has this facility should therefore make life’s issues more bearable for anyone who has a relationship with God. Knowing that God is on your side is one of the best antidotes for pressures of any kind, and life will throw all manner of pressure at you. However, those who know God are well-equipped to cope with whatever life may throw at them.
A passage in the Bible states, “The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Daniel 11:32). This illustrates the dual advantage of knowing God: it offers the benefit of strength, another manifestation of omnipotence, and exploits, yet another derivation from the omnipotent power of God, who devolves power and abilities to those He trusts.
Therefore, if you desire to make something of your life in a just and clean way, the God’s way, that is devoid of scheming or manipulation, then you need to have a good relationship with God, as that avails you the needed energy and facility to make it happen.
Selah!
