12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.


John 14:12 KJV

During the three year ministry of Jesus, he did many mighty things, which proved that he was, truly, the son of God. People thought he was a man until they witnessed his mighty works. Even his disciples were surprised when he performed some miracles that were beyond their imagination.

No man could ever imagine that another person besides Jesus would be able to perform greater miracles than him. Before the feast of the passover, Jesus changed the mindsets of his disciples when he told them that they could do better works than him if they believe on him.

They wouldn’t have believed that they could be better than him if another person besides Jesus revealed it to them.

Who would have imagined another person performing greater miracles than the Son of God?

After the ascension of Jesus Christ, his disciples began to do greater works than him, which confirmed his words in John 24:12. As long as you believe him, you will do greater works than him. It may seem unbelievable, but it is true because God is not a man that he should lie.

Once you doubt your ability to do greater works than him, Jesus, you won’t be able to do it, no matter your relationship with him.

What, then, are the unbelievable things you can do if you believe on him?



1. You Can Raise the Dead.





14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.



John 11:14 – 44 KJV

Just as Jesus rose Lazarus, from dead, who was dead for four days, so Paul and Peter rose Eutychus and Tabitha respectively. That confirmed the words of Jesus in John 14:12, which says we can do whatever Jesus did when he was on earth.

As long as you can raise the dead, you can do it. So many Christians have attended burial ceremonies without ever thinking of raising the person who brought unstoppable tears from the attendees. Perhaps, you doubt your ability in Christ when you saw the lifeless body in a coffin.

If you don’t want to do it, you may be call upon when you don’t expect it. Peter didn’t know someone, Tabitha, was dead when he was in Lydda. Moreover, he was not prepared when some disciples at Joppa sent for him.

You don’t need to be prepared before you do the works of Christ. As long as you believe his words stated in John 14:12, you can do great works — even greater works than Jesus Christ.

Paul didn’t know Eutychus would die when he preached at Troas. You may be caught unaware; never wait till you are called to raise dead.

Exercise your faith in the word of God by raising anyone who is lifeless around you. What is the essence of the faith you have that can not raise the dead. God is counting on you to perform better miracles than him.

Furthermore, you can rise the dead whichever way the Holy Spirit lay in your heart. Jesus commanded Lazarus after he prayed. Peter did likewise when he rose Tabitha, Dorcas, from dead. However, Paul fell on Eutychus — this was exactly what Elijah, in 1 Kings 17:17-21, did when he rose the son of the widow of Zarephath — when he rose him from dead.

The Holy Spirit will tell you the method when you are about to raise any lifeless person. However, do not expect Holy Spirit to talk to you if you are not taking Jesus on his words.



2. You Can Make the Elements of Nature Obey You.



Jesus walked on water

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!



Matthew 8:23 – 27 KJV.


25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.



Acts 16: 25 – 26 KJV

Jesus walked on water; thereby, confirming the kind of person he was. Moreover, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and they remained calm. According to his words in John 14:12, you can rebuke the elements of nature.

When you speak believing the words of Jesus, elements or forces of nature have no choice than to obey you. Paul and Silas shook the foundation of the prison with songs and prayers. They proved elements or forces of nature could come to our aid when we are in trouble.

The Jailer was surprised, but Paul and Silas were not moved. When Jesus rebuked the wind and sea, the disciples were surprised because — at that time — he had not informed them about their ability if they believe on him.

It shouldn’t surprise when you come across group of Christians in any part of the world praying against the element or force of nature, which may hinder whatever their program. You may not even pray before you stop an element of nature. You can start or stop them if you believe the words of Jesus.


3. You Can Provide Money or Food in a Miraculous way.

Peter brought out money in the mouth of fish



24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.



Matthew 17: 24 – 27 KJV

I’ve heard some pastors preached on how God provided for people by giving them idea, which transmuted to cash. They made the people believe God cannot give a physical cash.

Truth be told, their sermon was motivational, but it was not biblical. Who told you God could not provide a physical cash? When Jesus told Peter get money from the mouth of fish, they was no money in the mouth of the fish. If Jesus could do it, his word says you can do better than him.

You can provide money in a miraculous way, not only when God gives you an idea, but also when you believe on his word.

There were cookers when the children of Israel ate Manna in the wilderness.

Where did they see Manna?

It came directly from heaven. It may sound magical, but it’s real. If you pray for provision, you may be surprised to see the provision in a seemingly magical way. God may not send someone as he sent the widow of Zarephath to Elijah. He can put the money you requested in your wardrobe or car, anywhere, as he put a Shekel in the mouth of fish for the payment of tax. He can make it drop from heaven as he rained Manna from heaven — God is the same yesterday, today and forever. It will only happen in the proportion of your faith in his words.

Don’t let motivational speakers decrease your faith. Of course, God can give you idea ( I don’t dispute that) on how to make money. Also, he can give you money or any material substance directly from him to you without giving you idea — it all depends on your faith.

Lord, increase my faith

I've once had the urge to move near the dead on the street and pray for her to wake up, but my faith was not enough to move in action

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Ok

Jesus is the Lord forever. Gba beee


You need quality footwear as you preach the gospel around.
Distributors are needed as well

All I can say is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". It doesn't have to be defined as the path God leads me is unique to my spiritual journey and I expect same for others too.

Ok, my brother don't be ignorant of what our lord Jesus said to us concerning doing greater works then him... No one can do greater work than Jesus Christ, he simply want us to believe that he will be in us doing his works just as he believed that the father is in him during his earthly ministry, he said John 8 :29 and he who sent me, has not left me alone cos I always do what pleases him... He also said it is the father in me that does his works.. So he wants us to have the understanding that just as father is in him doing his works, so he will be in us doing the same works of his father, provided we are doing the will of God... It is not for us to be arrogant or boastful.. Peter and Paul did not do their miracles in thier own name but in the name of Jesus Christ.. But Jesus did his own miracles after giving thanks to God.. So be properly guided... St Paul himself said I can do all things through Christ who gave me strength..
The power to do greater things comes by the name and power of the lord Jesus Christ.. God bless you

Many modern day Charismatics and Charismatic teachers use John 14:12 to validate their teaching. They see it as a proof text for the notion that present-day believers can perform miraculous signs and wonders-even more spectacular than Jesus Himself. But the "greater works" that Jesus describes here in John 14:12 are not referring to miracles. instead, Jesus is talking about greater works of evangelism. In a sermon by John MacArthur he gives an exegetical interpretation of John 14:12 "The key to understanding this promise is in the last phrase of verse 12: "because I go to the Father." When Jesus went to the Father, He sent the Holy Spirit. The Spirit’s power completely transformed the disciples from a group of fearful, timid individuals into a cohesive force that reached the world with the gospel. The impact of their preaching exceeded even the impact of Jesus’ public teaching ministry during His lifetime. Jesus never preached outside a 175-mile radius extending from His birthplace. Within His lifetime, Europe never received word of the gospel. But under the ministry of the disciples the good news began to spread, and it’s still spreading today. Their works were greater than His, not in power, but in scope. Through the indwelling Holy Spirit, each one of those disciples had access to power in dimensions they did not previously have, even with the physical presence of Christ.

The disciples undoubtedly thought that without Christ they would be reduced to nothing. He was the source of their strength; how could they have power without Him? His promise was meant to ease those fears. If they felt secure in His presence, they would be even more secure, more powerful, able to do more, if He returned to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit. Christ did not hand-pick His disciples merely to perform signs and wonders in His name. They were chosen to extend the good news of His sacrificial, atoning death beyond the reaches of Israel and PaIestine, to the far reaches of the globe. They were preaching the completed work of Christ on behalf of sinners, spawning spiritual revival throughout the known world. In that sense, their work was greater than Christ's, as they bore witness to the truth of His life and death, and saw firsthand the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

As John MacArthur explains, the work of the gospel is the greatest ministry work of all.Infact in this time we are looking to only the two witnesses mentioned in Revelations which were given the power to do such great miracles and signs.

Inspirational speakers...

All those who could do that went with the characters in the Bible...

In this world that we are in... Ko porible.

Greater works than Jesus did were done just like He promised... We can do same and more than what OP listed. So help is God!

Christian walk is by faith. Sight walkers and wailers can wail. It doesn't change God's words or plans... Paul an anti Christian met Christ. His life changed and became a great model as a Christian.

Have you done all three?

olayiwola4u:
I've once had the urge to move near the dead on the street and pray for her to wake up, but my faith was not enough to move in action

It was great that you even had it in mind, sometimes we just need you obey that leading. Even when the dead doesn't rise after praying it doesn't mean God isn't a miraculous God. Sometimes the Holy Spirit just wants to see our level of obedience and willingness to obey.

Remember, the apostles and Jesus Christ didn't just wake up one day and just started to raise the dead and do miracles, they were given to immense fasting and prayers. They were men who hosted God and God's presence. They were God's representatives on earth, they lived and preached and lived righteous and holy . Without holiness no man can host or see God.

All these I mentioned don't just happen instantly, it is a life journey, you learn everyday giving your self to prayer, fasting, study of the word, living holy and righteous, showing love to others. All in all being Christ's representative and kingdom forefronter.

Even I speaking I've not gotten to that level of result, we are all growing and we subdue our flesh and allow the spirit to lead until we look like Christ attaining perfection. All these is just God's grace. No man, I repeat can claim to be perfect if he doesn't attain Christly stature. It's not impossible.

There are countless people who have graced this earth that we can look up to.

So I pray for grace for every Christ follower pursuing Christly status and pursuing Kingdom advancement.

Happy Sunday �
