OPEN HEAVENS


SIGNS ARE LIMITED


Signs and wonders are important tools for church growth. Yet, as great as they are, they have their limitations. A Christian is called to a life of faith not
a life controlled by sight. Signs and wonders are primarily meant for unbelievers while believers are
expected to believe even without seeing. To unbelievers, seeing is believing but to his followers, Jesus says: if you believe then you will see John 11:40). That is pure faith! In other words, for a believer, it is your faith that will bring your expectation into reality. So, if you lack faith in God in a particular area of life, you may not see
anything.

Signs and wonders have their limitations hence you need to reorder your priorities in line with the
reality of God's word. For instance, it is possible to perform miracles and be unable to make it to Heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). Some bonafide servants
of God who walked in the miraculous are in hell, and many more will join them because of pride. What brought Lucifer down if not pride? If you
cannot ask God to clothe you with humility and meekness while He is performing signs and wonders through you, then it is safer to let the
power go.

Some anointed of God who are operating in signs and wonders but are secretly sinning, unfortunately believe all is well because some
miracles still attend their ministry. All is not well! In his backslidden state, Eli still made a prophetic declaration concerning Hannah at Shiloh and it
came to pass. But how did he end his life? If you are living in secret sin but still see miracles being performed through you, you ought to be really
scared. Such miracles can never take you to Heaven. It is holiness and purity of heart that will.

Moreover, the devil can perform magic. Not every ‘ prophet is of God even when they claim to heal the sick and perform miracles. Some believers, in their desperate search for miracles have ended up with magic. Everyone who receives magic from Satan comes under his control and manifestation, whether they know it or not and whether they like it or not.
Have you received something from Satan? Return it today!

Memorise:
For we walk by faith, not by sight: 2
Corinthians 5:7
Read: Matthew 7:21-23
Bible in one year: Ezekiel 40-42

Action Point:
Believers who often run after miracles from place to place end up as preys of Satan. Pursue Jesus and you will find Him.

Have a blessed day
