NO FAITH, NO MIRACLE
Memorise: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh
in us, Ephesians 3:20
Read: Mark 10:49-52; Bible in one Year: John
8:31-10:21; Job 31:16-28
There are levels of categories of faith. In the
scriptures, we see those different categories at work at one point or the
other. These categories include the following: No faith (Mark 4:40), little
faith (Matthew 6:30), faith as small as a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20), great
faith (Matthew 15:21-28), exceeding great faith (Matthew 8:5-13) and the gift
of faith from the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9). Those who want to
experience a harvest of miracles are those who are ready to put their faith to
work. It is faith that brings about miracles. There was a time in my ministerial
life when I had little faith. But God honoured my faith. A woman brought her
child to me who had never spoken since the day she was born. I decided
therefore to pray for the child. As I said “in Jesus’ name”, the child answered
“Amen!” I nearly jumped out of the window because I had never seen such a thing
before. God will embarrass you with miracles in Jesus’ Name.
There was an experience in my life that shows that God
will never fail when we put our faith in Him. Before my wife and I met the
Lord, we had three children through caesarean operation. We decided to stop
child-bearing since the doctor had said that my wife could not give birth
naturally. We got born-again six years later and started reading the promises
of God in the Bible. I read in the Bible that with God nothing shall be
impossible and this stuck to my heart. I realised that what the doctor said was
impossible can be made possible by the mighty power of God. My doctor friend
told me that my wife would bleed to death of she tried to give birth. When the
time of her delivery came, she laboured for two days consecutively but the baby
did not come out. On the third day, as I was on my way to get food for my wife,
the devil threatened: “Stupid man! And you said you have a Ph.D. Your wife will
die today and you will see that her relatives will do to you.” Suddenly, a holy
anger rose up within me and I said: “Listen devil! If my wife should die
tonight, I will get permission form my father-in-the-Lord to preach on Sunday,
and the first thing I said this, the devilish thought disappeared from my mind
and the joy of God flooded my heart. As I got to the hospital, I sat inside the
car and suddenly heard the cries of the baby. Human words cannot express the
joy that came to my heart upon seeing my wife in good health and my baby in
joy. The kind of joy that will being tears to your eyes will happen to you in
Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point
Father, please meet me at the level of my faith, and
help my faith to grow.
