Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

Friday 7th November 

TEXT: Acts 8: 9-11 

Key verse: Acts 8: 11 “And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.” 

God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jesus achieved nothing. Then the gospel of Christ is a delusion; a deceit.  

One of the ways that these polluted ministers prosper in their ways, multiply followers and enlarge their congregation is the way of signs and wonders. They present signs, wonders and miracles as the main attraction to the people instead of the word of God. Their emphasis is miracles. In a revelation about a popular church, several ministers assembled in a secret meeting room underground to do their evil. The bishop of that church addressed the ministers; both ministers from his denomination and other mighty ministers from renown churches in the nation. 

He said, “It is very difficult to receive ministerial power for exploits from the living God; you will pray, fast, toil and labor long before you can get a little power but if you go to Satan today and meet his terms, by tomorrow or the next day power is already following you. So, it is power they are looking for to demonstrate and get followers. Simon the sorcerer offered money to the apostles saying, “Give me this power also.” Their mentees and children are also looking for instant display of power so they take them to secret shrines and say, “Enter the river, climb the mountain, descend the valley, come for midnight meetings, bring a soul, shed blood…” In this way, many ministers have been defiled and have nothing to offer God. 

Thought for the day: Understand miracles as they were performed in scripture.

Song for the day: Wonder, wonder, wonder, wonderful Jesus

Bible reading for the day: John 13-15
