MESSAGE:
God is a wonder
and He does great wonders. I pray that He will perform wonders in your own
life, so that you can testify that you have experienced His wonder-working
power, in Jesus’ Name. Beyond this however, do you know that God can turn you into a wonder? For instance, look
at the mad man of Gadara. He was so mad that all hope was lost concerning his
recovery; but when Jesus touched his life, he was seen not only in his right
senses, but also decently dressed and even evangelising the goodness of the
Lord. [Friday June 23, 2017]. Many people who saw him were amazed and had their
doubts as to whether he was the same person who once terrorised the community (Mark 5:20).
He became a wonder! Lazarus, who had been dead for four days, also became a
wonder and a tourist attraction after he was raised from the dead. John 12:9
says this about him:
“Much people of the Jews therefore knew
that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but they might see
Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.”
Several years ago, during a particular Holy Ghost Service
we held at the National Stadium, Surulere (Lagos), there was a man with a huge
growth attached to his neck sitting beside a particular woman. The growth was
so huge that it overshadowed his face. While the programme was on, the woman
sitting beside him kept peeping at the protruding growth. Open Heavens 23 June 2017:
Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Becoming a wonder. During the sermon, the word of God came that
there was someone in attendance with a huge growth around the neck and that it
had gone. On hearing this, the woman sitting next to this man immediately
turned to look at him and it was as if the growth suddenly grew wings, flew
away and disappeared. This woman was so amazed at this wonder that after the
programme was over, she had already trekked from the stadium to Palmgrove, a
distance of about 5km, before she remembered that she had left her car parked
in the parking lot inside the stadium. When God turns you into a wonder, even
sceptics will find it difficult to doubt your testimony because it will be so
profound. Also, your life will become a perpetual signpost for God’s Name to be
glorified. Are you in dire need of a miracle? Beyond that need, ask God to make
you a living wonder for the glory of His Name. This season, as the Lord turns
you into a wonder, the same mouths that have mocked you and challenged your God
will become the instruments for spreading your testimony and for reverencing
your God! Worship the Almighty God who alone can make you a wonder.
Prayer Point
Father, today, make me a positive wonder
to my generation, so that they can come to know You.
