Key Verse
“Again, he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD” (Ezekiel 37:4).
Text — Ezekiel 37:1-10
Message
The dry bones in our text represent various hopeless circumstances in the life of man. The entire passage is a transcript of the conversation between God and the prophet, Ezekiel. It shows the possibilities for restoration through the power of the spoken word amidst lost hope. The Scripture reveals that in the last days, the heart of men shall fail them because of life’s challenges (Luke 21:26). We are in the last days. Many are truly depressed and sick because of different hopeless situations. During the 2022 World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD), the World Health Organisation (WHO) said an estimated 703,000 people commit suicide yearly; for every suicide, 25 people make a suicide attempt, and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.
Youths are not spared of life’s painful situations. WHO considered suicide to be the fourth leading cause of deaths among persons aged 15-19 years. Every youth should understand that no case is hopeless when God is involved. The Word of God is a divine weapon for turning things around. Today is children’s Day. Pray as led for all children.
