Monday 20 April
READ: 2 Kings 2:9-22
MORE LESSON: 1 Cor. 12:10
Elijah was a man of God that experienced and had so many miracles performed through him by God. He was used to raise the dead and call fire from heaven. Ravens brought him food. He experienced unceasing flow of oil from a cruise of oil and so many other miracles. When he was to be taken miraculously to heaven in a chariot of fire, the double portion of the grace and mantle of the Holy Spirit upon his life was passed to his servant Elisha. Elisha went ahead to witness, experience and had so many more miracles performed through him that even after death; his bones still raised a dead man (2 Kings 13: 20-21). Moses also witnessed diverse and strange miracles operate through his ministry. These servants of God, among many others, are examples in the Old Testament of men that God gave the gift of the working of miracles.
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to believers in the church is the gift of working of miracles. Miracles are God's supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature to do that which is naturally impossible or unexplainable. Miracles show the supremacy and sovereignty of God over natural laws and occurrences. The life and ministry of Jesus Christ was characterized by innumerable miracles. He healed the sick, raised the dead, walked on the water, multiplied food, turned water to wine, calmed the storm. There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. John 21:25
I want you to know that miracles are your portion by faith in the name of Jesus. Every believer in Christ should experience and perform miracles as God wills. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:12-13. By faith in the name of Jesus Christ, you can command miracles.
In extension, there are some chosen vessels in the Body of Christ that are especially graced by the Holy Spirit such that miracles are worked through them in a higher dimension than the other believers. Such people are said to have the gift of the working of miracles. It is right to prayerfully desire this gift from God. But desire earnestly the greater gifts . . . . John 14:12-13 (ASV)
Salvation and faith in God are the most essential conditions for operating in the miraculous. If you believe today by the power of the Holy Spirit, signs and wonders will follow you, Jesus said- And these signs will accompany those who believe.... Mark 16:17
Prayer/Action
* Ask God for the gift of miracles.
* Ask that miracles will be a permanent feature in your walk with God.
Make a demand on God for a miracle and believe God for answer.
PROPHETIC PRAYER
Today, I shall hear the Lord’s voice of guidance behind me saying, “This is the way, follow it”, and I shall not miss my way.
