Did you know that dynamite has a long shelf life? It can sit on a shelf for a long time and not lose its power. The length of time on the shelf for dynamite does not diminish its power, though it may sit there waiting year after year after year.

Did you know the word of God is like dynamite, it may sit on the shelf of your bookcase, or in the holder on the pew in front of you at church, or on the app on your phone. It may sit there, but it does not lose any of its power, no matter how long it sits there.

The only thing dynamite is waiting for is a detonator. What if you are the detonator that will unleash the power of God’s word in someone else’s life? What if they’re filled with power, but they need a detonator? Dynamite will sit there, full of power, but unable to operate by design until it is detonated.

Jeremiah 23:28-29 says “Let these false prophets tell their dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is a difference between straw and grain! Does not my word burn like fire? says the LORD. Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?”

The word of God is powerful, it is explosive, but it is not destructive, it is reconstructive. We are the detonators that release the power of the word of God. As we open our mouth and prophesy the word of God, pray the word of God and preach the word of God, we detonate the explosive power of God’s word in people’s lives.

What if you are the detonators that people are waiting for? What if they are powerful, anointed, prepared for purpose, and you will be the spark that activates the power in them and through them? Everybody wants to be dynamite and you are, but you are also a detonator for others. May we detonate the power of God inside of each other, by speaking the word of God over each other.
