Topic: QUALIFIED FOR A MIRACLE?

Memory Verse: Matthew 15:28 – Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Bible Reading: Matthew 15:22-28

Message: The simple explanation for a miracle is that it is a supernatural event that does not follow the laws of nature, to favour a person. To be a candidate for a miracle, the first qualification is that such a fellow must be a carrier of the Living God. He or she must be a child of God. God created man in His own image. The Bible says in Genesis 1:27:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

When the carrier of God’s image – man, got entangled with sin, he needed to be restored and the only One who could do this was God Himself. God achieved the restoration through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. For us to be partakers of this miracle of redemption, we must believe Him to access His power (John 1:11-12). Beloved, you simply cannot partake of the miraculous without belonging to the Miracle-Worker!

Do you desire a miracle? You must be born again. Why? Jesus Christ said it clearly that miracles are children’s bread; you can’t have them until you become a child of God (Matthew 15:22-28). My prayer is that you will give your life over to the Miracle-Worker if you haven’t done that already, so that you too can begin to experience miracles from now. If you are already a child of God, then you are already qualified for a miracle, as long as you are living by His word.

Another thing that can qualify you for a miracle is faith. Jesus commended the faith of the woman and she got what she needed. I encourage you to come to God in faith today and those intimidating situations in your life shall become history in Jesus’ name. Has the doctor said the baby in that womb is dead and must be evacuated? I speak to that baby now to receive the life of God, in Jesus’ name. That part of your body that is suffering from paralysis must receive the life of God now, in the mighty name of Jesus. I stand by the word of God in Romans 8:11 and declare “…if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Receive your miracle now, in the mighty name of Jesus!

Points: Father, I believe you are the Miracle-Working God. Please give me a miracle today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Bible in one year: Psalms 140, Psalms 141, Psalms 142

Hymn: Have You Been To Jesus

Title: Have You Been to Jesus.
Chorus: Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?.

  1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  2. Are you walking daily by the Saviour's side?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
Oh be washed in the blood of the lamb.
