THE GOD THAT DOETH WONDERS
The Holy Bible records many signs and
wonders that the God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ performed
up till the time the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus went about sharing the
gospel in the Acts of the Apostles.
In today's world, it does appear that
miracles, signs and wonders have reduced or ceased completely. There are many
who believe God does not perform miracles anymore.
This erroneous idea and thinking about our
God has further encouraged many to doubt the existence of God and even encouraged
many to go into idolatry and very many others to remain in idolatry.
God tells us in Malachi 3:6a, "For I am the Lord, I do not
change;" We are further told in Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday,
today, [yes] and forever (to the ages)."
If God does not change, it means what He
does remain the same. It therefore means that miracles, signs and wonders do
happen even till this very day.
I personally know this for a fact because
God in His infinite mercy has shown me a number of such miracles in my
lifetime.
Most importantly, the Lord Jesus made a
specific profound statement in Mark 16:17-18, "And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My
name (Jesus) they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;
18
They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will
not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get
well."
Dear friend, what this means is that a
believer in the Lord Jesus Christ can use the name of Jesus Christ to perform
signs and wonders.
The reason this is possible is because God has made it so as
a proof that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God Himself!
I want to make it clear that signs and
wonders against evil and all powers of darkness can ONLY be performed in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
and in no other name else.
This is evident in Acts 4:11-12, "This [Jesus] is the Stone which was
despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of
the corner [the Cornerstone]. [Ps. 118:22.]
12 And
there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved."
If you reading this are not a believer in
Jesus Christ, you can prove what Jesus has said in Mark 16:18 as I have just
written above by becoming a believer.
If you remain an unbeliever, this is
dangerous because you expose yourself to a lot of dangers in this world and if
you die an unbeliever, there is life after death and only those who believe in
Jesus Christ will spend it in eternal bliss while those who reject Jesus Christ
and die in that state will spend the afterlife in eternal damnation!
Eternal damnation is an extremely unpleasant,
disgusting and horrifying life spent forever in HELL FIRE.
The danger in refusing to be a believer in
Jesus Christ here on earth is that satan, the father of lies and evil can and
will constantly attack such a person.
On the other hand, the believer in Jesus
Christ may be exposed to similar dangers but will always be victorious over
such evils as long as he or she is steadfast in faith in knowing, trusting and
serving Jesus Christ.
Dear friend, I cannot see any reason why
someone would refuse to believe in Jesus Christ after reading this message. I
cannot imagine a life without Jesus Christ, the God that doeth wonders.
Jesus has shown me evidence of His
existence in the way He has blessed and prospered me and taken me through very
difficult situations with victory every single time.
I invite you to come experience the same
signs and wonders Jesus ALONE can do for you and every other person who
believes as He has promised and I know Jesus cannot fail.
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His
Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
