FAITH CAPSULE: Take a step forward in faith for your own miracle.
Psalm 104
God is a creative God. It is written, “O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind.” (Psalm 104:1-3) There is none like the Sovereign God.
He is the only God and His ways are higher than our ways. Waiting to see God move the same way He moved in your neighbor’s miracle will take forever in you receiving your miracle. God does not move by man’s calculation, but by His compassion. At a time when Jesus was healing the man with leprosy, “…Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I am willing: be cleansed.’”(Mark 1:41) The same Jesus approached a man with a withered hand and commanded him to stretch out his hand in “And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as a whole as the other.” (Mark 3:5)
Jesus is not a mathematician or a mathematics which any man can calculate as in addition and subtraction, but He will move on your behalf if you will take a step of faith. The leper received his healing when He stretched out His hand. The same Jesus requested the man with withered hand to stretch his hand. With understanding in the word and work of His hand, it is worthy to gain the knowledge that Jesus will never fail.
Jesus is not a magician, but He is a miracle working God. In miracles, you do not know how your expectation is going to be manifested. Miracle is an extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human power. It is possible for you to take a step forward in faith for your own miracle. Before the man with the withered hand encountered his miracle, there was a need for him to step forward. Mark 3:3-4, “And He said to the man who had the withered hand, ‘Step forward…” The man took a step of faith and his mockery was converted into miracle. Jesus is true, He is the same yesterday and forever; do not hold back from engaging your miracle breakthrough. What are the issues that are holding you from stepping forward where you need to step forward into your breakthrough miracle? Are you calculating how your miracle is going to happen? Do not calculate He is a compassionate God.
