Word from your pastor or anyone who claims to be a prophet, no!

All I am saying is that God can do things in the most naturally senseless ways.

Acts 9:32-35

This is a very simple but powerful story from God’s Word. In this article, I would love to share four nuggets I believe will properly position you in this New Year not to miss your miracle. Let me paint a picture from our text here. The Bible says that Peter went throughout the region, until he eventually came to a certain man.

This tells us that he didn’t stop moving around till he found the

For you to be sensitive, your mind and your heart should not be encumbered with so many things happening around. Having knowledge of God’s Word will make you more sensitive to the Spirit of God. You need to know what God’s Word says about your fruitfulness. I once sat down to listen to a preacher and immediately, God gave me a Word. I knew beyond a shadow of

person he had a word for.

doubt that the word was from God. This is because I know God’s Word, therefore, I know the things He can say to me. If you will learn to be sensitive to God’s Spirit, you will get a word from God.

Realize That There Is A Word Sent Your Way

You will identify it when it comes and you will catch it and your miracle will manifest.

Do you know that when you go to church regularly, you are being built up in the Word? That is why sometimes, even if God has already done everything, all you need to do is to be sensitive in the Spirit and know when the Word comes and catch the Word.

Often times, the Word may come when it seems you are doing something insigniVicant, but you have to be sensitive. There is a deVinite and speciVic word sent your way that will bring your miracle. One important thing about sensitivity you need to know is that there are basic principles by which you can get your miracle, but apart from such basic principles, a miracle might manifest in the most unusual way. For example: when Jesus spat

Recognize That The Anointing Backs Every Word From God The anointing backs God’s Word. “Christ” is not the surname of Jesus like Omofomah is my surname. Whenever you see the word, “Christ”, it means the Anointed One and His anointing. When Peter said, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you…” (Acts 9:34), those words were backed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. To be more speciVic, the same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is the Spirit behind the anointing.

So, when you hear a Word from God, don’t take it as just another word. Every Word from God is backed by His anointing. Think about the chaos that was upon the earth. t was so chaotic that everything was in confusion, and the Bible says that the Spirit of

The second dimension (the future) to the Word of God is seen when Peter told Aeneas to make his bed (Acts 9:34). He was simply telling him to change his environment. If that man was paralyzed for eight years, he must have been used to a certain

not there to help him. When Peter told him to make his bed, he meant that he should begin to change the kind of thoughts he had before or was used to. He needed to start thinking like a healthy man, and not as a paralyzed man.

Receive And Act Upon The Word 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed”. Then he arose immediately.

Acts 9:34

There are two dimensions to the Word of God: the present and the future. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is…” Faith is now (present), that is why the time to act on the Word of God is immediately you hear it. No miracle will take place until you do something. The thing you need to do is to act on the Word that you have heard. The prodigal son said, “I will arise…” (Luke 15:18), but nothing happened until he actually rose and took the steps towards his father, it was then that the force of action was put to work. The lepers in 2 Kings 7:3-5 challenged themselves to go to the camp of the Syrians. Even though they may not have been a hundred percent in faith, yet because they arose and took

Remember It’s Not About You! 35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

Acts 9:35

The Bible says that the people came from different places when they witnessed the healing of Aeneas, and they turned to the Lord. The manifestation of your miracle is not just about you, it reveals the goodness of God to those that put their trust in Him and to as many as would want to know. It also draws others to put their trust in Him. One characteristic of a miracle is that the news spreads.

My prayer for you is that the news of your miracle will make headline news and will draw many more to God. Know that it is not just about you, but also about those who you come across with. Change your thoughts to match your expectations today and act accordingly. As you do that, be rest assured that your miracle is a done deal.

steps of faith, it took care of all the other inadequacies.
