Thick or Thin?
Jn.3:30 “He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.”
Physics tells us that how thick or how thin a material is, impacts on its energy transfer rate. Conductivity, Area of Exposure, Hunger and Thickness are the variables that Physics tells us affect the rate of energy transfer. We know that science copied Scripture because these factors are evident in Gehazi’s life. Read the rest of this entry
Variables
2 Kings 4: 31 Gehazi hurried on ahead and laid the staff on the child’s face, but nothing happened. There was no sign of life. He returned to meet Elisha and told him, “The child is still dead” [with emphasis].
When I first read this portion of Scripture, a couple of things stood out for me. When the child died, this woman did not waste time telling her problem to people who could not solve it. She declared that all was well until she met Elisha. The second thing that stood out for me was the fact that Elisha’s mantle did not work in the hands of Gehazi. This is the same mantle that was handed down from Elijah; Read the rest of this entry
Point Of Contact III
Lu.8:43 “A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure. 44 Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped”.
God is accessible but God is not common. Because of the finished work of Jesus on the cross, we can access God easily. We no longer have to sacrifice bulls and rams. We must never become too familiar with God. A lot of people in their bid to be uncommon, have barricaded themselves. Not Jesus, He chose to let people push and touch Him. But the person that places a demand on Him will get results. So when you hang out with God daily, value Him.
Point Of Contact I
2 Kings 13: 18 “…Strike the ground”; so he struck three times, and stopped. 19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Syria till you had destroyed it…” [NKJV]
Please read Ex.14:15-22. This is the example of Moses parting the red sea. Ex .14:21 “Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind…”. Moses lifted up his hand and God parted the sea. If Moses had not lifted up his rod, would the sea have parted? If God had not sent the east wind, would the sea have parted? Read the rest of this entry
Lifestyle Adjustment
Jn.12:24 “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel (seed) of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels–a plentiful harvest of new lives” [with emphasis].
The formula for abundant harvest is this – the Right Seed + the Right Soil + the Right Conditions = Abundant Harvest. With me and I am sure with all of us, God always ensues that we are not just preaching the Word but that we are doers also. So opportunities will come for you to do the Word, I pray you will always take them head on, making God proud.
Fight Back
Heb.4:2 “Those people in the wilderness heard God’s good news, just as we have heard it, but the message they heard didn’t do them any good since it wasn’t combined with faith. [Voice]
The farmer’s work does not stop when he plants, in actual sense that is just the beginning. The second thing the farmer needs to do to provide the right condition for the seed, is to protect it against pests, animals, and infections. Pay close attention because this is really important. You need to guard your seed! The reality is that when the farmer plants, he actually enters a phase of warfare because from planting to harvesting is battle.
Partnership
Job 38:1 “Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind: 2 “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words? 3 Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them”
God does not want us to lose sight of the fact that He is undeniably God and that we need Him for miracles to happen. Please read Job 38:1-21. God does not usually speak in a whirlwind but when God speaks to you in a whirlwind, you know there is trouble. Picture the beach for a moment and how the waves charge towards you; but they get to a point and they run back. God actually put a barrier for the sea; you cannot see the barrier but the waves know it. The reason there is erosion is because man has pushed back the water. The point is this – God is awesome.
Body Of Evidence
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The Holy Spirit Is The Source of Miracles. You must prioritize your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Earlier on in my walk with God, I believed that God was powerful but I had my reservations about the “miracle thing”. I had seen my mother and my grandmother pray and things happened. It was not that I did not trust the Pastors that God was using to work the miracles. But when people testified of miracles, I just felt they were being over-zealous. That was how much of God I knew and understood at that time. Things are very different now.
Be Aware II
Psa.34:7 “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them” [NKJV].
Imagine you living daily with the consciousness and realization of the fact that angels surround you. Everybody has angels, we have different numbers of angels, we have different hierarchy of angels but everybody has angels. The number and hierarchy depend on your assignment. For some people, because of their assignment, if God does not give them angels, demons will kill them. I cannot afford to backslide because there are so many demons waiting to kill me. God needs to give me extra reinforcement because I’m always looking for trouble. So it depends on your assignment.
Roots Then Fruits
Jn.14:12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.”
There are two dimensions when it comes to the miraculous. Two dimensions we must be aware of and they are: the miraculous roots and the miraculous fruits. The two are indispensable. However, the miraculous roots must happen for there to be miraculous fruits. The miraculous fruits happen when you are doing the right things, for example – praying and giving. On the surface it will appear as though nothing is happening. But you are performing a miracle; it is called the miraculous roots.
