WORKSHOP FOR WONDER
Memorise: How God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38
Read: John 9:1-7; Bible in one year:
Jeremiah 11:13, Acts 16:16-40
A potential recipient of uncommon
miracles is a workshop of wonders. A classic example is the man born blind in
today’s Bible reading. No artisan or craftsman can do his work effectively
without a workshop. It may amaze you that candidates for miracles are workshops
for the miracle-working Jesus. When the disciples confronted Jesus on whether
the blind man was born blind as a result of sin, He said neither the man or his
parents did sin. Jesus said he was born blind so that the works of God might be
made manifest in him. Jesus swung into action immediately; with His creative
divine ability, He produced brand new eyes for this man.
You too can be a workshop for the great
Miracle-worker provided you are willing to receive your miracle today. There
are several things we should learn from the blind man that qualified him as a
workshop for wonders. One of these is that this man was available for the
wonders. One of these is that this man was available for the miracle. Before
someone can be a workshop for wonders, he or she must be available. The blind
man was there at the right time when the Miracle-worker was to do His work!
Another thing about this man is that he surrendered himself for Jesus to work
on. The Bible says:
“When
he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he
anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash
in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way
therefore, and washed, and came seeing.”
John
9:6-7
This blind man did not only surrender
himself to be worked upon, he carried out all the actions necessary for the
actualisation of his miracle. The miracle would not have taken place if he had
not cooperated with the Workman – Jesus, by washing at the pool of Siloam.
Naaman was another workshop for wonders
who cooperated with the process required for the actualisation of his miracle;
although this came after his initial self-aggrandisement that would have robbed
him of his miracle (2nd Kings 5:13-14). My pastoral advice to you is
that you should exercise complete obedience in humility of God, His word and
His ministers if you want to live in the miraculous this year.
Prayer Point
Father, please make me a workshop for
your miracles. Let not my hour of miracles elude me.
