God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.
A Generation In Quest For Miracles (1)
Wednesday 25th June
Text: Acts 8: 9-13
Key verse: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you, Matthew 7:6.
There is a great quest for miracles in our generation. This is because the devil is doing his worst work in these last days. Life looks difficult in our time. People desire breakthrough in business, education, marriage, family life, workplace, in the church and the Christian ministry. We are in the last days. One of the characteristics of the last days is that people will be religious but not truly Christians; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, 2 Timothy 3:5.
In our time, people desire the miracles of God but not His righteousness. They delight in His blessings but not in Himself. They lay this miracle pressure on ministers of God. They challenge the ministers to perform miracles for them so they may believe and honour them; “For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.” Since the people are not interested in salvation and righteous living, God would not give them His blessings. Ministers who seek their own glory take advantage of the quest of the people and turn to alternative ways of securing miracles for them. When God would not answer backslidden king Saul, he turned to witchcraft to obtain help.
Many ministers have turned to witchcraft and Satanism for power and anointing, to minister to the needs of people. Some have left the message of the cross of Christ and are preaching human philosophies and psychologies, to excite the minds of men, not to pierce their hearts. They teach on how to make wealth, live in peace, make friends, marry successfully and succeed in life using human ideologies, not the truth of scriptures. They acquire demonic powers to prophesy to their victims, to satisfy their hunger and thirst for supernatural insight and revelations. They do these to receive glory of men, to make a great name, to receive great followership, to have great ministry, to have a large church, to obtain great wealth, and exercise great leadership authority in Christendom and in the world.
Thought For The Day: God's miraculous blessings are given to promote righteousness.
Song For The Day: Jesus power, super power
Bible Reading For The Day: Psalms 112-118
