The Place of Handkerchiefs and Aprons in Gospel Miracles 

Thursday 31 July

Text: Acts 19: 11-12 

Key verse: Acts 19:11 “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.”
Miracles are acts or events occurring by supernatural power. The power behind such acts or events lies beyond the realm of man. Miracles can happen by the power of God or by the power of Satan. The miracles that accompany the pure word of God and the true gospel of Christ are believed to be from the Holy Spirit. Common miracles accompanying the gospel include healing for the sick, restoration of sight to the blind, opening of deaf ears, the dumb speaking, raising the dead, casting out devils and many other spectacular manifestations in response to prayer and decree of faith. There are general ways in which God performs miracles in the ministry of His servants. There are common miracles and there are uncommon miracles. 
Common miracles are often repeated or duplicated, but uncommon miracles may never be repeated or duplicated. For example, Moses' rod was used by God to perform many miracles in the ministry of Moses; Elijah's mantle was used by Elijah and immediately thereafter by Elisha to part the river Jordan. Elisha multiplied oil for a widow woman, a hollow in the jaw bone of an ass brought forth water for Samson to drink in answer to his prayer. These and many of other unique miracles in the Old Testament performed by certain men of God under some circumstances were rarely or never repeated by them or duplicated in the ministry of others. 
The ministry of Jesus noticed some of these rare miracles such as follows: (i) Jesus turned water into wine. (ii) Jesus walked on the sea and immediately empowered Peter to walk on the sea. (iii) Jesus multiplied few loaves and fishes to feed several thousands of people during a gospel meeting in two separate occasions. (iv) Some people touched the hem of Jesus' garment and were perfectly healed. These were special manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of Jesus. The scripture did not record the duplication of any of these miracles under the ministry of any of the apostles. None of the apostles thought to pray for himself or lead others to pray in order to walk on the water as Jesus did. None of them asked people to touch the edge of his clothe for their healing, as happened in Christ's ministry. 
Thought for the day: Uncommon miracles may never be repeated or duplicated. 
Song for the day: All power belongs to JesuBible reading for the day: Isaiah 57-59

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
