Uncommon Signs And Wonders (Part 2)
Friday February 9th
Text: 2 Kings 2:7-15
Key verse: 2 Kings 2:13 “He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan.”
These are not common miracles. Do not attempt to do them. However, false prophets may claim that they can do everything. Do not follow or yield yourself to them. They may do some lying wonders to deceive you and remove eternal life from you. Elijah and Elisha divided the river Jordan by uncommon faith. It could be that God wanted the incident of Elijah going up to heaven to be registered on earth forever so He accompanied it with an uncommon miracle such that people will always remember this. Fifty sons of the prophets viewed this miracle; that Elijah smote the river and it parted into two and that he crossed over on dry ground together with Elisha.
The faith of Elisha was very high in asking for a double portion. To give him a sign that he had received the power according to the will of God, Elisha had the same impartation of uncommon faith. He also smote the river Jordan and said, “Where is the LORD GOD of Elijah?” The river was divided into two. He crossed over and everybody knew that the spirit of Elijah now rested on Elisha. Apart from these that happened within that day, did it ever happen again in the world? Did Jesus part any river? Did any of the Apostles part the river? No! It is an uncommon miracle that was provoked by uncommon faith, inspired and imparted by the Spirit of God.
I heard of some people that came to a river and said, “We shall divide this river and cross it.” So, they prayed for God to part it but the river did not part. They moved inside, saying, “River, you must part in Jesus’ name” until the water became angry and carried them away. So, do not boast of miracles. There are some things that lie in the hand of God and there are some things He gives man the ability to do. So, let us humble ourselves. Do not be deceived by proud men who pretend that they can do everything. The devil is a proud person and so his followers are also proud.
Thought for the day: Uncommon miracles are inspired and imparted by God
Song for the day: Only You can do, what no man can do, Jehovah
Bible reading for the day: Numbers 5-6
