EXPECT MORE MIRACLES



EXPECT MORE MIRACLES

Jesus performed so many miracles while living on earth that all the books would not able to contain everything. Ask Jesus to do more miracles today because He is alive.


Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:30-31

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. John 21:25

Not every miracle of Jesus was recorded in the Bible because there were just too many. I wonder how many miracles Jesus performed within his three year of ministry on earth. Did He perform hundreds or thousands of miracles? Anything is possible because He is the Son of God and God sent His Son on earth to demonstrate the kingdom of heaven. If Jesus performed many miracles on earth to demonstrate the love and power of God 2000 years ago, we can ask God to perform more miracles today. Jesus ascension to heaven does not mean an end to miracles on earth. He ascended to heaven to intercede for believers so that there would be more signs and wonders on earth (Read John 14:12-14)
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:12-14

I believe it is time for believers to rise up and pray for God to do greater signs and wonders in our times. We should not be content with past miracles and experiences. We should ask God for greater miracles for today because of the great need around us. We serve a God that is the same, yesterday and today and forever (Read Hebrew 13:8). Pray for God to perform more miracles to bless more people today.

REMAIN IN HIM



REMAIN IN HIM

Many wonderful things happen when we surrender our lives fully to God. We will have greater peace, joy & strength when we allow God to lead us into His plans and purpose.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Every electrical appliance (such as a water boiler, microwave, fridge, iron etc) needs to be connected to a power supply to function. Similarly, we are made to be connected to God and to rely on Him for this life on Earth. We will be much happier and less stressed if we allow God to be involved in every part of our life. So many times, we run around frantically without the guidance of our loving Heavenly Father. We think we can solve all of our problems by natural means without seeking God's wisdom. In reality, we are limited without God working in our lives.

God has all the resources, all the knowledge and all the power in this universe. God promised in His Word that if we remain in Him and if we rely on Him, we will bear much fruit in our lives. What kinds of fruit can we expect when we rely on God? We will see more productivity and effectiveness in our lives. We will have greater inner joy, peace and strength when we confronted with troubles and hardship. Let us make every effort to remain connected with God each day by inviting Him into our daily schedule and program.

God is our invisible helper that is always there to give a helping hand.

LOVE POWER






LOVE POWER

God love toward US is NEW every morning. Allow the LOVE of God to MOTIVATE us to do EXTRAORDINARY things for HIM. Show SOMEONE His unfailing LOVE today.


Ps 90:14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Love for God can be a great motivation for us to do extraordinary things for God and others. God is pouring out His love every day to His children so they can experience His love and bless others with His love. The world around us really needs to know and experience the love of God. There are so many ways we can express the love of God to others. God has given each person certain gifts and abilities and we can use it to benefit those around us. If you are a good listener, spend time listening to the hurts and worries of others. If you have the gift of serving, spend time serving people in your community. If you have the gift of prayer and healing, spend time praying for those who need a miracle. If you have the gift of leadership and administration, spend time organising events to bless the community. If you have a gift of giving, spend time giving to those who genuinely need help. As God pour His love into us, we need some avenues to release His love to people around us.

The world we live in is hungry to receive the love of God in a sincere, tangible and practical way.

RIGHT FOCUS



RIGHT FOCUS

God's Great POWER has made everything POSSIBLE in our lives. Nothing is too hard for Him. Do not focus on your problems but FOCUS on God's LOVE, WISDOM and POWER.

Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you".

Anyone who wears prescription lenses knows the importance of having the right focus. Without a proper lens prescription, a person may have the wrong focus and their eye vision is blurred. When it comes to confronting our problems in life, we need to have the right focus. Do not focus all our energy on the problems and lose sight of the almighty God. We need to remind ourselves of the One that is living inside us and the One that is in control of everything in this world and universe.


The God who created everything we can see is more than able to help us overcome the problems we face. We need to magnify God and not magnify our problems. Do not make God too small to handle anything big in our lives. God is always bigger than our problems and troubles. God is greater than whatever challenges that are coming our way. He is always faithful to what He is able to do. We need to have more trust in Him instead of our own natural ability and resources.

God wants us to live an extraordinary life by having a right focus on His love, wisdom and power.
