Open Heavens 4 February 2015: Wednesday daily devotion by Pastor E. A. Adeboye - Reason for Miracles

Topic: Reason for Miracles [Wednesday February 4, 2015]
Memorise: Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou
hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that
have not seen, and yet have believed. - John 20:29
Read: (John 11:43-45 KJV)
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud
voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot
with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a
napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had
seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 28-29, and Acts 20:17-35
MESSAGE:
A miracle can be defined as an extraordinary event or
development that is inexplicable by natural or scientific
laws and is attributed to divine agency. Miracles defy
natural and scientific laws because such laws are in
suspension or overridden supernaturally for a miracle to
take place. The question then is: why will God go to such
great lengths to perform a miracle? I pray that God will go
to any length to give your desired miracle today in the
Name of Jesus.
The Bible offers many reasons as to why God would go the
extra mile to perform miracles. God performs miracles so
that people may believe in Him (Exodus 4:1-9 ). In some
cases, He performs miracles out of love and compassion
for human suffering ( Luke 7:11-15 ). Sometimes it is to
authenticate a prophet as a true servant of God ( Acts 2:22 ).
Some other reasons for miracles, common to most of the
records of the miraculous in the Bible include: strong faith
in God, hopelessness, helplessness and desperation. If you
are desperate for a miracle because your case is
hopelessly helpless, the Almighty God will rise on your
behalf and give you a mighty miracle today in the Name of
Jesus. Miracles are real, and genuine miracles are
Biblical. As a matter of fact, so many human conditions are
beyond natural and scientific solutions; these are distinct
situations for divine intervention. We thank God that
numerous creative miracles (of which some testimonies
are incredible) have been happening by His special grace
in our ministry as we travel across the globe over the
years. So, no matter how hopeless your situation is, all you
need to pick-up your own miracle is to have a good reason
why God should visit your case.
If you can take the first step by becoming born-again, you
would have won the love and compassion of God. If you
fellow that up with total obedience to the word of God and
strong faith in the Name of Jesus, your case becomes
stronger. If you will dare to become a witness for Jesus,
telling everyone around you of His love, goodness and
mercy, then your case becomes very strong. Finally, if you
would continuously knock on the door of heaven through
your fervent players, you automatically become a sure
candidate for a miracle. As you fellow these steps to build
a strong case or reason for a miracle, the Lord will notice
your efforts, accept your person, open a book of
remembrance on your case and give you a creative miracle
in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point: Father, please settle my case today; visit me
with a divine miracle in Jesus’ Name.
