MIRACULOUS STORIES

READ: PSALM 22:22-31
The world has no problem which heaven has o solution to. Whatever you are going through today, someone has gone through the same experience and received divine solution. The Bible is a wonderful book. There is no book like it. Its pages leap with encouraging and heart-warming stories of God’s miraculous intervention in the affairs of men. In Luke 7:11-15, we have the story of the widow of Nain. The devil killed her only son. Her family was besieged. She was hopeless because she knew she would be lonely for the rest of her life. At that moment, Jesus stepped in. He told the woman to stop wailing and assured her there would be no more sorrow for her. Her weeping ended. Jesus steps in when the crisis is greatest, and when it is darkest. In Daniel 3:22-27, we also have the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. The furnace they were put into was seven times hotter than normal. Perhaps, they expected God to do something but He did not. Maybe they became disappointed. When they landed in the fiery furnace, the Son of God was there waiting for them. It when the heat is at the peak that the Prince of Peace comes. In John 5:2-9, we read of a man who had been lying by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years. He was no longer expecting a miracle. There are many people in that situation. You have believed God for healing for so long and healing has not come. You are only in Christ because there is nowhere else to go. This was the situation of this man when the Great Physician came and his travails ended. He received his healing. In Mark 10:46-52, when blind Barthmaeus was crying for mercy, the crowd told him to shut up. He cried louder out of desperation. Jesus stood still when He heard his cry. When the hour seems very dark and there is no hope, Jesus Christ will step in. Again, in Mark 5:1-15, we have the story of a man who was besieged from within and without. He had more than a thousand demons inside him. He was living in a tomb. He was poor and had no peace of mind. Nobody offered him any hope. He saw Jesus coming and before the demons inside him could do anything, he ran to Jesus for help. A few minutes later, he became an evangelist and had peace within and without. Are you passing through a dark period? I can assure you that the Sun of Righteousness will arise and bring healing unto your body, soul and spirit. When the hour is darkest, it means the sun is about to rise. The Sun will rise for you today.
MEMORIZE: PSALM 50:15 –Call upon Me’ in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.
