There are
several laws in the science world such as the law of gravity, the law of
thermodynamics and other laws. But even with the accuracy of these laws, many
of them have been defiled by the great prophets of old in the bible (as some
would call them). For example an axe floated in water which is naturally so
impossible; a bin of flour wasn’t used up; a jar of oil didn’t run dry and so
on. These things were so great that made a jaw drop; but with all these Jesus
said, “Assuredly, I say to you, among
those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but
he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11
(NKJV). What does this imply? It implies not even the great prophet of old
were as great as John the Baptist. But that’s not where I’m heading to, Jesus
said, “...but he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Whoah, so that means John is greater
than these prophets and those who are in Christ are even greater than John!
Then what’s wrong today?
Really, I get
surprised that we are greater than John the Baptist and the great prophets of
old. The reason first of all is that non of these prophets including John were
born again! Think about it. To be born again came after the resurrection of Jesus.
And when you are born again you get the power of Jesus which is the most
powerful of all that was, that is and would ever be. The issue is that we don’t
know what power we are made up of.
Jesus said in
the book of John 14:12-13, “Most
assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do
also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And
whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified
in the Son.” Jesus while on earth wasn’t yet glorified so all authority
wasn’t given to Him and with this He walked on water, stilled the storm, fed
over five thousand people, raised the dead, healed the sick, saved those who
were oppressed of the devil and so on. And Jesus is telling us we have the
power right now to do greater things than he did while here on earth, because
we now operate with the resurrection power which is the greatest any power and
authority.
We are expected
to look unto Jesus, because He is the source of our abilities, He is our life
and without Him we can do nothing. The bible says in Ephesians 3:20, “God can do anything, you know-far more
than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does
it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and
gently us.” (Message). The power God has given us in Christ cannot be put to
use unless we believe it can happen; and the only way things like this can
happen is by being transformed by the renewal of our mind, by believing
everything we do is Christ empowered and therefore allowing Him to use us as He
likes.
We are the
hindering force in allowing the miraculous from happening; the prophets of old
are supposed to learn from us and not the other way round, because we carry the
greatest power and authority that has ever existed. Just let go and allow God to direct
you then see the wonders of God in every aspect of your life to the point where
the works of Jesus while here on earth becomes a walk over because we don’t
operate at that level; where we operate is at His present level; Him seated at
the right hand of God. Just believe and know the power at which you are made up
of. God has given us all things and this is the gospel truth!
Why not accept
Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand
new!
