Theme: Don’t be a Miracle Seeking Christian
(Micah 6:1-4,6-8, Ps 50, Matt 12:38-42)
The Jews wanted a sign or a miracle from Jesus before they will believe in him. These were people who have seen a lot of signs and wonders from Jesus but still didn’t believe in him. The truth is that Jesus performed these signs and wonders for people to believe in him and his message as the Messiah sent by God.
Miracles in our Christian context should lead people to faith in Jesus Christ. But you and I can testify that this is not the case at our time. Some of these pastors who claim to be miracle workers only look for fame and riches.Some even use evil powers to perform these miracles. Some are also faking these signs and wonders that they perform. But some are also using the spirit of God to perform these signs.
A number of our people are only seeking miracles in their lives, but not to grow in their faith in Jesus Christ. Most of them have no personal relationship with Jesus. They only want a solution to their problems in life. It is not about believing in Jesus and gaining salvation. Precisely why they don’t even discern well to know the calibre of person they are going to or the source of his or her power. They only want solution to their problems, whether the source is good or evil they don’t care.
But the truth is that miracle follow those who seek to do the will of God in their lives always. Once we follow his commandments, his power will also manifest in our lives. Problems will come, challenges will come but he will deliver us through his powerful hand. Some of us are roaming too much and have become prostitute Christians . Unless we don’t hear of any pastor or someone doing miracles, we will get there immediately.
The Christian life is not all about signs and wonders. Our ultimate goal is to gain salvation. These signs and wonders are to help us to achieve this. Hence, miracles become means but they are not an end in themselves. It is important to note that we have genuine men and women of God who are using the right spirit of God to perform signs and wonders. It is a lie to say that signs and wonders don’t exist in Christianity. If Satan can perform them then why not God, who is powerful than Satan? The difference is that the purposes are different and besides the miracles from God are lasting whiles Satan’s own doesn’t.
May the Holy Spirit touch us today so that we don’t become miracle seeking Christians in this world. Amen .
Have a Blessed Day.
Shalom. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
