Some years ago, I was invited to a very important meeting in Denver, Colorado, USA. The meeting was scheduled to take place in January, and Denver is typically very cold during the first month of the year due to its winter season. As I prayed concerning the meeting, I asked God, “Daddy, should I go?” He replied, “Go.” Then, I asked, “What are we going to do about the winter?” He replied, “Don’t worry about that.” I spent three days in Denver, and during that time, people were wearing t-shirts because summer arrived suddenly. After I left Denver at 5pm on the third day, 12.5 centimetres of snow covered the city by 6pm. God suspended the winter so that His work could be done, and after it was completed, He released the snow to continue its course.
God is in charge of nature; He rules the world and everything in it. Today’s memory verse says that He talks to the snow. He tells the snow and the rain when to fall on the earth. God can decide to withhold the rain or snow from the earth or release it. He can suspend the laws of nature to fulfil His agenda and release them when His work is done. says that fire, hail, snow, vapour, and even stormy winds fulfil His word. There is no wind that is too fierce that God cannot silence. There is no fire that is too wild that He cannot quench.
In today’s Bible reading, Jesus was in a ship with His disciples when a great storm arose. The wind was so fierce that the experienced fishermen among Jesus' disciples knew that they were in grave danger. They probably did all they could professionally, but nothing worked. As a last resort, they ran to Jesus. When they woke Him, He showed them that He was in charge, as He arose and rebuked the wind.
Beloved, unlike Jesus’ disciples in today’s Bible reading, never make God your last resort when it comes to situations in your life; rather, you must always put Him first. When you give God complete control over the affairs of your life, He will enforce His supremacy over any contrary wind or circumstance that comes to challenge you. I decree that every contrary wind or situation that comes against you will submit to the supremacy of the Almighty God and cooperate with you, in Jesus’ name.
