Demonstrating The Wonders Of God by Viktom(m): 11:31am On Oct 31, 2021
Texts 1: psalms 89 vs 5-5; Psalms 89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. Psalms 89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
Text 2: 1 Peter 2 vs 9; 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

Introduction

We serve a God that is wonderful in all his ways and that is stronger than the strongest, higher than the highest and has no comparison. He is wonderful in creation because everything he created is good. He is wonderful in words because everything he says come through. He is wonderful I work because he has not stopped doing good things to his committed followers. Interestingly, he has called us into the ministry of demonstrating his wonders as we saw in 1 Peter 2 vs 9 and that invariably makes us the wonderful children of a wonderful God.
How do we Demonstrate Wonders

1. In Holiness: we are chosen Gods holiness as a pattern of life, practising the exact lifestyle of Christ while he was on earth. 1 John 2 vs 15- 16 says it all. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.
2. In Love: let the world see Jesus in you by giving and showing kindness. Isaiah 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
The scripture encourages us to give to the needy and not hold back our hearts from them. We must understand that God does not require our money to be God and also that he is not asking us to give to him but instead to those around us. After all, Christianity without charity is a mockery of God who loved us and gave his only begotten son to die for us.
3. In Obedience of Gods Word: Supernatural supply anchors on obedience. Luke 5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. Obedience is in practice and not in words. Hence, it is not just about believing in God but it's about obeying his word to the latter even when they don't seem to be expert advice and look very foolish to you. Obedience is the gateway to supply.
4. Demonstrating in Word: Every gospel preached is good news to the hearer and this is the bedrock on which our services to God should be built. We must utilize the word of God in faith to conquer the devil and also spread it to the people around us.
5. Demonstrating in Prayer: Praying and getting answers to the prayer is a demonstration of Gods wonder. Prayer is a Christian weapon of warfare and with it, we can silence the devil and his goons. Jesus lived a life of prayer and he does expect us as Christians to live a prayerful life.
6. Demonstrating in Faith: Faith is more than belief, it is in practice. It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence not seen. Faith is a belief in what God says and not what the people around you are saying- when they say there is a casting down, faith says there is a lifting.
7. Demonstrating in Power: 1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but power.
Christianity places you above the devil and his agents because he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

Conclusion
Christianity is a privilege and not so many Christians are aware of all the benefits attached to it. However, it is noteworthy to state that God has chosen us to show his wonders to the world because he said that we are the salt of the world and the light of the world. Don't get intimidated by circumstances because you serve a living God that is capable of crushing any circumstance that you may find yourself. Don't give up friend, God is still on the throne and Christ in you is the hope of glory.
