WHY
MIRACLES?
Memorise:
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;
not Knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Romans 2:4
Read:
John 20:30-31
God
is a God of miracles. In the Old Testament, He performed miracles. In the New
Testament, He performed more miracles. Even today, He is still in the business
of miracles. Unfortunately, because of the attitude of some people to miracles,
its purpose is being misunderstood. Some people think miracles are to entertain
guests, while some think it is to show off. Oh how wrong! God has definite
reasons for suspending the laws of nature and doing the impossible before
restoring those laws. The first reason is to make the recipient, as well as the
spectator, to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Miracles, like the Word of God
stir up faith in God. Romans 10:17 says:
So
then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
If
you want your faith to increase, focus on the miracles of Jesus. One thing
about miracles is that as you continue to witness or hear it, faith to receive
your own miracle will build up within you. This then means that those who
regularly hear of and see the miracles God wrought in the midst of His people
are expected to be believers. But if in spite of all these, you still have some
doubts, something is wrong somewhere.
Miracles
are meant to lead you to Jesus. Every recipient of healing, deliverance,
breakthrough or answered prayer is expected to return to the Lord and invite
Him into their hearts. Has the miracle of the Lord made you to become a born
again child of God? If it has not, you are frustrating God's intention in
sending you that miracle. In any case, you need Jesus in your heart to sustain
that miracle or else it could easily be lost. After you are born again, the
miracles you receive are to establish you in the place of faith knowing that
the One who has tackled your situation is still the same God who will tackle the
future ones. That means miracles can help the believer to continue to believing
in His God and to remain victorious. In addition, sometimes, God uses miracles
to make people know that He is the Supreme Being in charge and above all, so
that His glory can be given to Him.
PRAYER
POINT
Lord,
let the purpose of miracles be fully accomplished in my life.
