BEYOND MIRACLES

If you don't know that there is something more greater and beyond miracles, then I think you need to be introduced to what is called a WONDER. I pray for you in the Name that is above every other name, the wonder working God will cause you to experience a great wonder today in Jesus name.

Let's see What a miracle and what a wonder is:

MIRACLE: An extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.
WONDER: Something, someone, or an occurence beyond miracles.

It is true that miracle suspends natural laws for the supernatural to occur, very true. But wonders go beyond suspending the laws alone, it goes to the extent to make people disbelief even what they can see with their very own eyes. An adage says 'Seeing is believing' very true! But when wonder occurs people find it difficult to believe even though they are seeing it.

Let see the account of wonders in the Bible

What Jesus did/demonstrated in the life of that man who was born blind from his mother's womb in John 9:1-7 was a wonder, There is a great difference between one who had lost his/her sight and a person that has never had one. Restoring the sight of someone who had lost his/hers is a miracle, but however Providing/Creating an eye for someone who has never had one is nothing but a wonder. That man never had an eye but the wonder working God produced him one. That was the reason people doubted what has happened to the man despite the fact they could see him with their very own eyes (John 9:8-9). I decree in the Name that is above every other name, may you experience a great wonder that will throw people into confusion in Jesus name.

The account of the famine in Samaria 2Kings 7:1-2 was also a wonder. Or how could you describe a city that her women has started killing their children for their survival to show you how intensed the famine in the land was (2 King 6:26-29) and within 24hours after a decree from a servant of God, God caused the city to enjoy plenty. Please Don't blame that lord (2 Kings 7:2a) that doubted that decree because it is not that he did not believe in miracles, he did (the reply he gave to the man of God shows that) just that he did not know that there was something much more than a miracle. He wasn't aware of WONDERS, it was so unfortunate for him that he wasn't alive to witness the plenty because he got the man of God angry by mocking his God.

Another account of a wonder is in John 11:1-44. When someone dies in a day and he/she was brought back to life it's a miracle, but when someone who has died for good four days and he is brought back to life, it is a wonder. The dead would have start decomposition thereby it becomes stinking (John11:39). Not that Mary and Martha did not believe in miracles, they did because the statement (John 11:32) Mary uttered confirms that, however they did not believe there was something that was beyond miracles. They didn't believe their four days old dead can rise to live again. In the Name that is above every other name, that which is dead in you life that men has condemned it can never come back to life, the wonder working God will bring them to life in Jesus name!

Wonders is free. Everyone/Anyone can be a partaker of wonders. But there are conditions to satisfy to make this possible.

CONDITIONS TO SATISFY TO BE A PARTAKER OF WONDERS

1. Obedience: For you to be a candidate of wonders you must be obedient. You must be ready to listen and to comply to the instructions and commands of the wonder working God. In John 9:7, Jesus instructed that blind man to Go and wash in the pool of Siloam. In John 11:39, Jesus instructed them to take away the stone. If they have not yielded to any of Jesus instruction, they wouldn't have experienced the wonder meant for them. Obedience is necessary for you to experience a wonder. If you are ready to experience a wonder you must be ready to obey.

2. Be positioned for the wonder: The man would't have received that wonder that day, if he had been in the wrong place. Many of us visit the wrong places in search of substandard miracles, blessings that will never last, blessings and miracles with sorrow attached. The best and only place to be to experience a wonder is in the house/presence of God. Be positioned at the right place.

3. Ask: One of the keys to receiving a wonder is by asking, Ask 7:7, John 14:13, Numbers 14:28. Though the bible didn't mention that the blind man in John 9:1-9 ask for Jesus help, but I am very sure he would have been praying long ago for such a wonder. Nobody in such condition will be comfortable and happy. He must have asked. The king of Samaria put his matter to God for the famine in Samaria to end. Asking is a major key to receiving.

4. Be born again: It takes you to be born again to experience a wonder. Jesus said specifically to that woman, that miracles are for the children and not for the dogs. (Matthew 15:26-28). If not for her persistence and great faith, she would have lost her daughter. The bible also made us to understand that Lazarus was a friend to Jesus, which was one of the reasons Jesus gave him attention. Be born again today to experience wonders.

5. Be persistent is asking: The bible said we should ask until our joy is full (John 16:24). The woman in Matthew 15:26-28 persisted, Jacob persisted, refused to let go of God until He was blessed. Genesis 33:26. If you keep asking a thing from someone and you did not persist the fellow will be forced to give unto you that which you have asked him/her, how much more God?

PERFORMING WONDERS.
We all can perform wonders as Jesus has done. He is our Elijah and we are His Elisha. He has promised us that we will even do greater works than that He has done (John 14:12). One condition to satisfy to perform wonders after we might have fulfill the conditions to be a partaker of wonders is to submit to the HolySpirit, and allow the HolySpirit in us because He is the Spirit behind any wonder. When Jesus was with His disciples, the disciples couldn't perform a single miracle not to talk of a wonder, but when He was about to leave He promised to send them the HolySpirit (Comforter) John 14:26. And until the arrival of this HolySpirit they couldn't perform and wonder (Acts 2:1-13). The same HolySpirit is still with us today, and you can perform even more than the wonders Jesus performed, If you will rely on His HolySpirit

God will cause you to be a wonder, He will work wonders through you, for you and on you.
Today you will be a wonder.
Every hindrances to you becoming a wonder will be utterly destroyed today in Jesus mighty name.

GO AHEAD AND BECOME A WONDER TO THE WORLD!!!
GOOD MORNING GOD'S PEOPLE!!!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!
