SIGNS
& WONDERS II
MEMORISE
Then
said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
John 4:48
READ
Mark 2:1-12
Mark 2:1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was
noised that he was in the house.
Mark 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was
no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the
word unto them.
Mark 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was
borne of four.
Mark 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they
uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down
the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,
thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mark 2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in
their hearts,
Mark 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but
God only?
Mark 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so
reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in
your hearts?
Mark 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mark 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into
thine house.
Mark 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before
them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We
never saw it on this fashion.
MESSAGE
When our Lord walked the earth, the people wanted
Him to prove that He was the Messiah through a sign. Beyond His heart
penetrating sermons, they wanted to see a sign from Him by which they would
believe He came from God.
“Then
said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”
John 4:48
Jesus in the above passage made it clear that
people would not believe except they see signs and wonders. For several years,
my mother-in-law did not want to hear anything about the gospel. We tried our
best to convert her to no avail. Meanwhile, my wife had gone through three
caesarean sections before we got born-again. When we gave our lives to Christ,
we read Luke 1:37 which says,
“For with God nothing shall be
impossible.”
My wife got pregnant again and had a big baby
without a caesarean section. When my mother-in-law saw this, she said “because
of what the Lord has done, I surrender to the gospel.” I decree concerning you
that, because of the signs and wonders the Lord shall perform in your life, all
the members of your family shall be converted to the gospel in Jesus’ Name.
In Mark 2:1-12, we have the story of a bedridden
man healed at the command of Jesus. Witnesses of this miracle wondered at the
marvellous display of God’s power. After I had my child which the doctors said
could only be delivered through a caesarean section on a Friday night. The next
day being a Saturday, I had a preaching engagement with doctors at the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) in Nigeria. I was so full of joy over the
wonder of the Friday night that I could not sleep. At that meeting, I shared my
testimony that my wife, who in the past had undergone three caesarean sections,
and who the doctors had said couldn’t deliver any more children, was delivered
of a big baby naturally by the intervention of God. All of them opened their
mouths for about two minutes. The miracle that would make people open their
mouths shall happen to you this season in Jesus’ Name. When they finally
recovered from the shock of my testimony, a scientist amongst them said:
“nothing is proved and acceptable in science except it can be repeated to get
the same result.” Four years later, my wife gave birth to another baby boy,
much bigger than the previous one. I decree in the Name that is above every
other name, that God will do something new in your life as you read this
devotional today, in Jesus’ Name.
