Daily Devotional : (Open Heavens - November 8th 2015)

BEFORE THE MANIFESTATION OF SIGNS
Memorise : God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders,
And with Divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according
To his own will? Hebrew 2:4.
Read: Psalm 34:1-3.


MESSAGE!
There are certain criteria God looks out for before
choosing a fellow through whom His signs and
wonders will be manifested to the world. He saw
meekness and humility in Moses. If the Lord will
use you to do the greater works He promised (John
14:12), you must be meek and gentle. You must
also be humble to the end. Some people start off
being humble, and God begins to lift them up; but
at some point, they became so full of themselves
that they commit the grievous sin of taking or
sharing in God’s glory. Because of this, God takes
His leave from them. Those who will go far with God
must start, continue and end with humility. Take
note that when the Lord sent Moses back to Egypt,
He did not send him back alone. God instructed him
to go with his rod; a rod which God decided to make
His own. Exodus 4:17 says:
“And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand,
wherewith thou shalt do signs.”
He obeyed and with that rod, God performed signs
and wonders. He never parted with that rod. God
may want to take over your rod too. He may want
to convert something that is dear to you to His own
as an avenue for the performance of signs and
wonders. What is most important here is that
whatever He asks of you must be done in all
humility. When you do this, the signs will follow.
Similarly, if you check closely, you will find out that
God chooses worshippers. He chose David; the one
who said he would bless the Lord at all times and
continually praise Him with his mouth. How
committed are you to the worship of God? Some
worship Him only when the going is good, but when
they go through trying times, they cease to don so.
Instead, they begin to grumble, murmur and
complain. There is a user of this devotional: God
chose you for signs and wonders, and He even
started using you in the miraculous until you began
to grumble and complain. If you can repent of this
and embrace the regular worship of God,
appreciating Him for His works in your life, the
working of miracles that stopped in your life will
begin to flow again. When this happens, testify to
God’s glory before the congregation of God’s
people. Are you a worshipper? How often do you
worship God? Is there quality in your worship? If
you will see signs and wonders in your life and
ministry, you must be prepared to live a life of
quality worship.
Prayer point
Your willingness to obey all of God’s commands
is what you need to enter the realm of the
miraculous.
