EXPERIENCING WONDERS – Friday June 16th 2017
Memorise:
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11
Read: Daniel 6:21-28 (KJV)
6:21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live forever.
6:22 My
God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they
have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and
also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23 Then
was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should
take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den,
and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his
God.
6:24 And
the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused
Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children,
and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all
their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
6:25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
6:26 I
make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and
fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast
for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his
dominion shall be even unto the end.
6:27 He
delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and
in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
6:28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Bible in one year: Judges 3-4, Jeremiah 49:28-50:3, Hymn: Sing hymn 3
MESSAGE:
Our
God is not only a wonder, He also works wonders! After the Lord
performed wonders by parting the Red Sea, Moses and the children is
Israel sang a new song to the Lord in Exodus 15:11 saying:
“Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”
Also,
after God miraculously delivered Daniel from the lions’ den, King
Darius passed a decree that in every domain of his kingdom, this awesome
God must be feared and revered. In Daniel 6:27, he said,
“He
delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and
in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
The God that King Darius spoke of is still the same today. He is full of wonders. No wonder He is called Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6). Are you in need of a miracle, sign or wonder? Call upon this great God and He will surely deliver you. Experiencing wonders [Friday June 16, 2017]. He can still do great wonders in your life today.
You
need to come to terms with the reality that God can perform wonders in
your own life. In other words, you too can be a beneficiary of His
wonders. It is a known fact that a person can be rich and yet be stingy.
Where I come from, when talking to a rich and arrogant man, it is
common for people to say, “Yes, I know you are rich, but you are not the
one feeding me.” In other words, “your wealth is of no benefit to me,
so go and perish with your money.” God can be a God of wonders who also
does wonders, but if He has not done wonders in your own life, His
ability may seem like fairy tales to you. In Genesis 18:9-14,
He met a 90 year-old woman and said: “I know you are 90, and I know
your monthly cycle stopped several years ago, but you are going to have a
son.” The woman replied, “I don’t believe you!” God said, “It doesn’t
matter whether you believe or not; I am the Wonder-Working God, and I
will go ahead to do what I just promised.” A year later, she had her
baby. God’s wonder-working ability became real to her. Beloved, you are
the next candidate to benefit from this Wonderful God! This season, the
God of wonders shall show up in your situation and turn things around!
You shall experience the reality of His wonderful power. Call on Him
today, and He will answer you.
Prayer Point
Father,
as You did for Daniel, perform an outstanding miracle in my life that
will compel nations of the world to amend their laws in honour of You.
