Isaiah 43:19-21, 2 Kings 7:3-10, Luke 5:1-9, Genesis 22:1-18, John 2:5, Acts 3:1-11

Men and brethren, every miracle thinker is a Commander of the Miraculous. There are miracles that cause amazement; amazement to an individual, amazement to your enemies, amazement to a congregation, amazement to a city, amazement to a nation, and even amazement to the world. The scripture affirms and confirms in Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” I decree, great things that will dazzle your mockers shall now be seen in you.

How can you provoke a miracle to amaze me as an individual? And to dazzle your enemies and make your adversary to celebrate you? “Why sit we here until we die.” 2 Kings 7:3-10. Believe God to change your situation. Even though God has good plans for you, you have a part to play in letting those plans come to pass. There was a man in the bible call Simon; series of encounter with the miraculous changed his name to Peter. His first encounter to the miraculous that mesmerizes his life and gave hope to his hopelessness was the time he fished all night and caught nothing but at the word of the master he threw one net and the result was amazement to him and to his friends Luke 5:1-9. He moved from lack to plenty and from total failure to total success in a very short period of time. What was it that Peter did, that provoked this miracle that amazed him?

Number One: Peter yielded willingly his boat to God; the most precious thing in his life, he surrenders it. Hence if I want a touch of the miraculous that will amaze me, I must surrender the most precious thing in my life to God. The father of Faith, Abraham surrendered the most precious thing in his life; Isaac to God, the result the Almighty God swore, the only one who didn’t need to swear, swore; he said by myself have I swore, because there is nobody greater than me to swear by. He said I will bless you, I will multiply you. The Almighty God said to Abraham, because you gave Me the most precious thing in your life, therefore in blessing will I bless you and your family and it will never be reversed. That is an amazing miracle to Abraham. Genesis 22:1-18. Right where you are, what are you holding to that  you need to give to God? It could be the way you live your life, your possession, your talent, your money or your skills. As you surrender the most precious thing in your life to God, get ready for an amazing miracle. Anything you love more than God will soon be taken away if you don’t give it to God. He is the only one that can sustain, retain and maintain.

Number Two: You must take God at His word. Peter said, “At thy word” I know what you are saying doesn’t make sense but because your word says so. That is all that matters to me. As a believer the bible is our text book and anytime the devil tries to tell you something, that contradicts the bible, you must ignore him. Mary said “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” John 2:5. Whatever is not written in the bible is not permitted to be true. Find out what God has said concerning your situation and hold him to His word. What did He say concerning your conception? What is written in the bible is that God, who brings to conception, will bring to delivery. What is written in my bible is that with God nothing shall be impossible. What is written in my bible is Christ in me the hope of glory. Not the hope of shame. And that is why I am saying to somebody here today, it is written your tomorrow will be alright. Take him at his word.

Number Three: Obey Him. Peter said you said so, I will do it. The written scripture says “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19. Whether the devil likes it or not, the good of this land of Nigeria and of whatever country you are where you are reading now, the good of this land belongs to us. If it is in the hand of wrong fellow, power will change hands. The Lord may ask us to do things we don’t yet understand; we must be ready to do at His word.

What will I do so that I will get a miracle that will amaze my enemies, congregation and friends? What do I do so that when I want to share my testimony the whole church will stand up and cheer, what do I do, so that when I get my miracle and I begin to share my testimony, people will open their mouth and they won’t be able to close it. The bible says “When the layman at the beautiful gate suddenly got up, waking, leaping, praising God, the entire congregation in the church including the enemies were amazed. Acts 3:1-11

Number Four: Show Gratitude: Peter came and knelt down before Jesus, a sign of total surrender, a sign of total yielding to the supernatural. It was a moment of looking into his life and saw emptiness. He wanted to get into the source of the miraculous. No more eating from the crunches that falls from the masters table. He wanted to be in or permanent out. Then Jesus told him, from today you shall be fishers of men. Your rank is no more fish hunters for the stomach but men hunters for the kingdom. What you don’t appreciate, depreciates. What you don’t thank God for, will never increase.

Matthew 15:22-28 The Canaanite woman received the miracle for her daughter because of her faith. Even though there were discouraging circumstances, she persisted until she got what she wanted (the healing of her daughter)

Mark 10:46-52 Bartimaeus initiated his healing by calling on Jesus and telling Jesus what he wanted. “I want to receive my sight” It was not up to Jesus for Bartimaeus to be healed, Jesus was passing by.

Mark 5:25-34 The woman with the issue of blood activated her miracle. Jesus did not decide to release the power to heal her. She touched his garment and she was healed, then Jesus realised that virtue had gone out of him. Her faith made her whole. What would have happened if she did not go to Jesus?

1Kings 17:8-16 The widow woman had to give Elijah a piece of cake to activate her miracle – otherwise she would have eaten her last meal and died.

What are you doing to activate your miracle?

Therefore, look unto him, don’t look unto man, man will disappoint you but God will never disappoint you. Therefore, as you provoke the miraculous may this season become the season you will witness the miraculous.
