John 11:1-44
All that you need for your breakthrough miracle is your participation. God gave every breakthrough miracle when Jesus came to this world. As a result, every believing-believer is to take a position of receiving their breakthroughs. As for unbelieving believer, there is a need for prayer to God to help their unbelief. Lazarus was dead; that is cold dead for four days. At the arrival of Jesus, all hope had been lost and every discouragement was in place. Jesus approached the tomb and He requested for their participation in John < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>11:39 ÒJesus said, ÔTake away the stone.Õ Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, ÔLord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.ÕÓ In response to the requested participation by Jesus, a part was missing and that part was a line of unbelief. Jesus wants you to play a part in moving your hindrance and He also expects you to believe because God is not pleased when there is no belief. Jesus responded to incomplete participation by saying in John 11:40, ÒJesus said to her, ÔDid I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?ÕÓ With belief in place, you will see what is not there to be seen as being there for you. What is received in the Word of God is what will determine what you will become. At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus requested participation of the people (John 2:1-11). The people had to fill the empty gallon with water before there could be a miracle wine. In every miracle, the participation that is requested is the demonstration of faith. What role are you playing to bring forth your miracle? He has spoken that He will not leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5), but you continue to run where you are to wait. Do not run pass your miracle when it comes knocking or else it will enter into your neighbor that is around while you are running.
