Miracles are supernatural interventions of God in the lives of men. Just as Jesus said… "this signs shall follow them that believe…" However, as believers we must know that every miracle is attracted by some actions. In this write-up, we will try to dig into the sources of miracles in a Christians’ life. Every action attracts a reaction!
WORSHIP
Worship is what clears the air and draw us closer to God. "O come let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker." (Psalm 95:6). He alone deserves to be worshiped and exalted; for He alone is holy." (Psalm 99:5). If only we know the essence, the importance, the secrets, the gains etc of worshiping God, then we will not joke with it. Praising God when things are smooth and rosy is always very easy.the true test of of a man’s faith and trust in God takes place when things are tough and uncomfortable. when God says ‘I have healed you ‘and the doctor’s report says, "you have a few days to live," when God says that you will be fruitful…’but the doctors report says that, "your womb is damaged’…’or or when men say that your age is a barrier to your getting married or you encounter disappointment from your helpers or when your business seems to crawl instead of running,etc,what do you do?you need to know the secret of worshipping God when all things seems to be against you.The victory of Jehoshaphat came on the hills of praise and worship.they had been attacked by two enemy countries and they were outnumbered in hundreds and thousands.but they used the power of praise to overcome. ‘The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power, for thou hast created all things and for their pleasure they are and were created." (Revelation. 4:10-11). Always worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness and when you bow down, His glory will be proclaimed.
THE WORD
The word of God is the primary thing in the life of a believer. When you eat the physical food, you must take in the spiritual food which is the word of God. The spiritual food supersedes the physical food. "And He humbled them and suffered thee to hunger and fed thee with manna which thou knoweth not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord did man live" (Deuteronomy 8:3). But he answered and said, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).
The world was created through the instrumentality of the Word. The word of God is sharper than the two edge sword. Believers must learn to confess positive and not the negative, "let the words of thy mouth, and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer" (Psalm 19:14).
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof, but speak the Word and my servant shall be healed, (Matthew8:8).
For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Every other thing shall pass away but the word of god is eternal as the Word of God has said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Word shall not pass away: (Matthew 24:35).
Eat the Word of God and let it dwell richly inside of you. Let it be your wisdom.
We were made in the image and likeness of God. He breathed into us, took time to mould us on a special day (sixth day) and transferred all the grace and power to us to subdue nations and to rule over every other creation. He made us so much better than the angels as he had by inheritance obtained a more excellence name than they, (Hebrews 1:4). "Thou made him a little lower than the angels, thou crowneth him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of thy hands. Thou has put all things in subjection under his feet, for in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not under him (Hebrews 2:7-8).
We were lifted above the angels by Christ through his death and resurrection, "Jesus made for a little time lower than the angels, thus for man that he may lift men above angels into the family of God (Hebrews 2:4).
The word of God brings power to the saved and foolishness to the perishing, (It is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profits not. the Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they have life" (John 6:63). The Word of God blesses and also consumes, "For our God is a consuming fire", (Hebrews 12:29). Saying, surely blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying, I will multiply thee, (Hebrews 6:4).
PRAYER:
Prayer is the master key. When you pray, you pull down strongholds and set the captives free. Whatsoever you ask the father to do for you, believing that and many more shall he do unto you. Always present your request to God through prayer."but we give ourselves continually to prayers and to the ministry of the word" (Acts. 6:4). "Peter therefore was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him"(Acts 12:5). Always pray for your brethren in Christ as well as pray for leaders and people in authority. The prayer of faith always saves, heals and restore. "Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God (Philippians 4:6). "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up and we have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:15-16).
Miracles are the earnest expectation of all believers. Every believer prays and hopes for something after these three processes. Remember Herod, the Bible said he was exceedingly glad for he was desirous of seeing Jesus. He actually hoped to have some miracles done by Him (Luke 23:8).
When God performs miracles in our lives, it will radiate and the glory of the Lord will be seen. This automatically draws men to God. The beginning of miracles in Jesus’ ministry was in a wedding ceremony in Canaan in Galilee. That incident really brought Jesus and His ministry to the limelight. (John 2:11).
Finally may your expectation never be cut off as you follow these principles. These are tested and proven avenues to celebration and testimonies. Your own is next in line. God blessings!
