Topic: Unprecedented Event [Thursday February 5, 2015]
Memorise: And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said
unto the sea, peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and
there was a great calm. - Mark 4:39
Read: (Genesis 21:5-7 KJV)
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son
Isaac was born unto him.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all
that hear will laugh with me.
7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that
Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him
a son in his old age.

20:36-21:16
MESSAGE:
An unprecedented event is an extraordinary occurrence
that was never known or experienced before. It’s
something of monumental importance happening for the
very first time. Unprecedented events are very rare, but I
pray that you will soon testify to an unprecedented
blessing in your life in Jesus’ Name. The Bible records so
many unprecedented events in its pages from Genesis to
Revelation. Notable among those are Noah and the deluge
(Genesis 7), the deliverance of the Israelites at the Red Sea
(Exodus 14 ), the sun standing still over Gibeon and the
moon staying in the valley of Ajalon ( Joshua 10:12-13 ),
the virgin birth of Jesus, the raising of Lazarus from the
dead after four days (John 11 ) and the resurrection of
Jesus ( Mark 16:9-10 ), to mention but a few.
Unprecedented events are usually in the realm of the
miraculous. God in His infinite mercy always designs these
supernatural events to meet human needs and solve our
problems. Such miracles include divine provision,
deliverance, divine healing, raising of the dead, miraculous
birth etc, and usually bring about disbelief, laughter,
astonishment, singing, dancing, amazement , great fear,
thanksgiving and celebration. Very soon, God will do
something in your life that will amaze your detractors and
cause you to celebration in Jesus’ Name.
In Genesis 22:16 , Abraham’s actions caught God’s
attention and called for a special blessing.
“And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for
because thou hast done this thing, and hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son:”
It’s easy to see that beneficiaries of unprecedented events
are history makers. A close look at each of these
characters, from Noah to Abraham, Moses, Joseph,
Joshua, David, Solomon, Elijah, Daniel, Esther, John, Peter,
Paul and our Lord Jesus, to mention but few, reveals a
common pattern in their lives. Every one of them exhibited
uncommon pattern in their lives. Everyone of them
exhibited uncommon faith, humility and obedience that
moved God to arise on their behalf. God considered them
fit for such miracles because they tried to do what nobody
had done before. If you are looking forward to receiving an
unprecedented miracle in your life., you must be prepared
to outdo others in your commitment to God, in total
submission, obedience, soul-winning , sacrificial giving,
faith and true worship.
Prayer Point: Father, please give me the grace to do
something great that will call for an unprecedented
blessing in my life in Jesus Name.
