TOPIC: GOD OF MIRACLE
Read Exodus 14:13-28 [13]And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.[14]The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.[15]And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:[16]But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.[17]And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
[18]And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.[19]And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:[20]And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.[21]And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.[22]And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.[23]And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.[24]And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,[25]And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.[26]And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.[27]And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.[28]And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
MEMORISE: But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27)
EXPOSITION
God takes pleasure in working miracles. It is God’s way. Miracle neither takes anything from God, nor adds more to Him. God uses miracle to bring glory to Himself by making people to believe in His Omnipotence. Whenever God interferes in man’s affairs, He brings the miraculous to bear, especially, when the situation at hand is humanly impossible. There is a great difference between God’s miracle and the great magic as we witness today. Most of what people call miracle today is better described as magic. Most of them are staged to win the gullible and unsuspecting mind. We now live in a time when people are miracle crazy. No wonder they fall for anything in the name of miracle. God’s miracles are specially made by God to proclaim His glory not for anybody to showcase himself. Read more about the difference between miracle and magic in the Exodus 7:8-13, Acts 19:11-20. One good example of God’s miracle, that has remained indelible in human history and those encountered it would never forget throughout their generation is how God parted the Red Sea. Before then, there was no record of such occurrence. See the Israelite in between a dreaded Egyptian army and Red Sea. Indeed, a miracle was needed for the Israelites to escape mass destruction. And God showed forth His power and the Red sea had no option but to part as God commanded His servant to stretch his rod. What a miraculous God.
All through the Scripture are endless list of diverse miracles God wrought in the affairs of man. Today, God is still in the business of doing miracles. If you can look up to Him, you might just be the next person to be visited with a miracle. The man at the beautiful gate was daily expecting to receive alms but a God’s move, he got a life-changing miracle, which he never expected. May today be your miracle day with the God of miracle in Jesus’ name. Amen.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Oh Lord, I know I am a bundle of miracle, continue to miraculously manifest Your power in my life.
2. Don’t let me join the bandwagon of those who are led away with what some people call miracle today.
3. Set free Your servants who have because of money, fame, power been led into using diabolic means, ritual, or sorcery. Bring them back to the fold with genuine repentance, and put to public disgrace those who persist in it.
