TOPIC: LOST SIGNS
Read: Mark 16:11-19
MEMORISE:
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17).
EXPOSITION
The Lord Jesus Christ, At His farewell speech before Ascension, informed His disciples about certain signs which would follow Christian believers. The signs include but are not limited to casting out demons, speaking in new tongues, power and authority over deadly things, among others. It is now down to us to ask whether we still have these signs in their originality and rawness or not.
A sister in a particular village was used to preaching every now and then. She entered a particular house one day and as she was preaching, a young girl convulsed and fainted. The sister, with faith laid hand on the child and the child resuscitated. This instantaneous sign that accomplished her evangelism made the whole house convinced that Jesus is truly the Lord. They believed the Gospel. There is no gainsaying that signs and wonders convert unbelievers’ hearts. The question remains: do we still have these signs?
There was another case of two young boys who went to witness to a man, who happened to be a notorious herbalist, though unknown to them. The man listened to the boys; in the course of their discussion, he told them he had power to make the tree under which they stayed to shift to another place, of which he did: the boys asked him to bring back the tree. He tree hard but failed. To the man’s amazement, the boys commanded in the name of Resurrected Christ and the tree was restored to its original place! What else? No more stories! Christ had won, Satan had failed! The man immediately renounced his gods and surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
Make sure you get back your lost signs now! How? Return to the level you were once with the Lord Jesus that you have now lost due to sin or carelessness. Repent and reclaim His presence and power. Add prayer and fasting to your faith (Mk 9:29).
PRAYER POINTS
1. Oh Lord, restore to me every lost spiritual sign of Your power in my life, home and ministry.
2. Lord, help me to maintain the signs of Your presence and power in my life with the level of holiness and obedience You demand.
3. Pray that God should restore the lost glory of the Church in the land.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Jeremiah 50
Good morning and do have a glorious week ahead.
Jesus loves you. Embrace His love today by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior.
