In Search of a Miracle
After
these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
And
a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on
them that were diseased. John 6:1,2
The day
following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that
there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were
entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his
disciples were gone away alone; (Howbeit there came other boats from
Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had
given thanks:) When the people therefore saw
that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and
came to Capernaum,
seeking for Jesus. And when they had found him
on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou
hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but
because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you:
for him hath God the Father sealed. Then
said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them,
This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. John 6:22-29
In the above verse 26 of the book of John Jesus spoke
about them seeking Him because they saw the miracles, He was telling them that
it is His will for people to seek Him for miracles. And it John chapter 6
verses one and two the people did follow Him because they saw the miracles He
did.
God desires people to seek Him for His miracles, and
so we are in search of a miracle.
When people come to a Church or a ministry they come
in search of a miracle. There seeking for that touch of God that will make them
well.
They are hungry for that healing or miracle and go to
great lengths to receive it.
The people in John chapter 6 followed Jesus because of
the miracles, they were in search of a miracle. We as God's ministers and as
His Church must have the miracle ministry so the people can come in search of a
miracle and receive it.
God is giving His people His Divine faith for miracles.
Jesus mother Mary had Divine faith in John chapter 2 and she wouldn't let go of
Jesus until He did the miracle she was believing Him for. Mary went and sought
Jesus out at the marriage for this miracle, and her faith began His miracle
ministry.
And
the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his
disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of
Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is
not yet come. His mother saith unto the
servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of
the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots
with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the
feast. And they bare it. When
the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not
whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of
the feast called the bridegroom, And
saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when
men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine
until now. This beginning of miracles did
Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth
his glory; and his disciples believed on him. John 2:1-11
This was the beginning of miracles in Jesus ministry.
It was a manifestation of the glory of the Lord that did the miracle. The
miracle cloud.
The Lord has prophesied for years that the main gift
of the Holy Ghost that would be in manifestation in this season is the gift of
the working of miracles. The Spirit is giving this gift now to His Church, a
new rhythm of miracle living is manifesting now is the Church.
So Jesus came
again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the
water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.When he heard that Jesus was come out of
Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come
down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him,
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child
die. Jesus saith unto him, Go
thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken
unto him, and he went his way. And as he was
now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to
amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left
him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the
which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole
house. This is again the
second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. John 4:46-54
In the above scriptures is the account of the second
miracle Jesus did. Again the Nobleman sought out Jesus to receive a miracle for
his son for he was at the point of death.
As people search for a miracle they must search for it
with all their heart.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when
ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah
29:13
Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you: Matthew 7:7
God is now using signs and wonders to teach us to
depend on Him for His supernatural provision in our lives.
Deuteronomy 8:3.
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee
to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy
fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread
only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man
live. Deuteronomy 8:3
