BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU SEEK MIARCLE

“The fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench”
1 kings 18:38
Main Text:

So many years ago, there was a magician who used to perform strange miracles on Lagos streets to the amusement of his audience. The snag though, was that after each performance, provision shops around the vicinity of the “miracle centers” would have lost some of their wares which were “conjured” to the delight of the audience during such performances. Also, some victims would have lost valuable cash or properties like wrist watches, under the spell of the satanic-magician. It is so strange today to see the resurgence of such magic called “wonders” workers in some churches today. The real purpose of miracles is to show the glory of God. Any divinely-ordained miracle is to prove the power and presence of God and to draw back the people to the pathway of holiness and godliness. After three and a half years of draught, commanded by Prophet Elijah as a mark of punishment for the backsliding nation of Israel, Elijah was to signify the end of the famine by praying to God to send down rain. But then, he needed to deal with the imposter prophets by challenging them to a contest to bring fire upon the altar of sacrifice without the aid of matches or lighters. The false prophets tried all the tricks they could without success. Lying wonders cannot stand the test of time. When the fire fell upon the altar arranged by Elijah, the people were fully persuaded and convinced that Jehovah is the true God, and Baal was a false god. “The LORD, He is the God”. The purpose of divine miracle today has not changed. There are those who are ready to sell their heart for miracles without the slightest consideration of their souls. Any miracle, however stunning, which renders us hostages to the miracle worker is evil and must be avoided by you. Don’t join them to “eat grass” and worship the devil. Prayer: I will not fall into the wrong hands in the name of seeking miracle. Further Reading: 1 Kings 18:30-40 Read through the Bible: Nehemiah 7 & Luke 13
