We can therefore see from the scripture that Job had this great revelation about the ability of water to rejuvenate a tree although it had been cut down.
We have also seen that the tree is representative of a man, or men; while water is representative of the word and the Spirit of God.
There are however some very important lessons for us to learn from these scriptures as we break them down. It is important to note that when a tree is cut down, and there is no water, it may not regenerate. It is therefore important that we note that the scripture is not saying that a tree that is cut down must regenerate-it can only happen through the scent of water.
COMPLICATED CASES MUST ALSO RESPOND TO THE WORD
This is very important, and can be clearly seen from the scripture in verse 8 of Job chapter 14.
“Though the roots thereof wax old in the Earth and the stock thereof die in the ground”…
This talks about complications that might have arisen out of that problem. Many times we not only have problems come into our lives, but they also get complicated. I remember a case of a couple that happens to have been friends to me who struggled to have a child after their marriage. The man amongst them is a medical doctor. He did all that he knew, and when he exhausted his streghnth, sought for medical attention from specialists, and they confirmed, that his wife had a pelvic inflammatory disease which has led to complications, and now she has bilateral tubal blockage.
These specialists tried all they could and latter gave up and recommended higher forms of treatment which he was not willing to go for, because they offered minimal and unpredictable levels of hope.
Finally, my friend decided that hope was still available through the word, and one day he heard that a prophet of God was organizing a special service as instructed by God, for those struggling with childbearing and conception. He and his wife co-operated fully with the prophet’s instructions during the service, and today they have a baby boy, that was conceived through the move of the word and the spirit during that service.
This simply tells us that no matter how bad that condition, or situation might be, it will never ever escape the power of the word and the spirit of God to deliver, to set free, to heal, to restore, and to renew.
This tells me that no matter how dead your dreams might have become, or how messed up you are, when you come around the ministry of a powerful motivational speaker like Pastor Joel , or an emotional healer and teacher, like Joyce Meyer, there will be a resurrection.
In the same vein, if you are sick and you come around the Ministry of a Pastor Benny Hinn, or Our father in the faith-Dr Morris Cerrulo, you will be healed.
However, these are men anointed or gifted by God, I am not saying that they have the power, but they have the word of God including thousands of others not mentioned. The most important thing is that if you can get a hold of the word, you can be healed, even in your bedroom.
A scent of something, speaks of a trace, or a little hint of that thing, or the smell of that thing. No wonder the scripture says “That which is borne of God overcomes the World”, which means that you do not necessarily have to cram the whole Bible to receive that miracle: all that you need is a trace of the relevant word taken a hold of by your human spirit.
Why do our miracles wait, or seem to delay, have we really caught the revealed word?
