MIRACLES AND LOVE. (A Sunday message transcript)

Text: Matthew 5:44-48

Miracles from God are evidence and proof of God's love towards us.
The whole of creation was put together as we read in Genesis 1:1-27 by God's miracle touch.
God's miracle touch at creation was His Word and Spirit.
God's Word has miracle power and it creates for man's benefit.
Walking in love is an act of perfection, it attracts God.
Love is the reason God will give you a miracle.
Anyone you truly love you can do anything for, and we know God loves humanity because God's Word tells us in the popular Bible passage- John 3:16 that God so loved the world that He gave is only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ so that the world won't perish.
Jesus Christ is the greatest miracle of all time and God gave Him up for you and I, in the process putting value on humanity. This singular act and decision is a miracle in itself.
God's love to man is a miracle!

Our Lord Jesus is the greatest demonstration of God's love and God's miracle kindness to man.

While Jesus was on earth in human form:-
He didn't have great financial investments, He didn't come from a rich or noble family, He never penned a book, He didn't have or move in the circle of influential people, He never owned his own physical house, He was buried in a borrowed tomb, He wasn't formally educated and never formed an army or lead a battalion of skilled warriors, unlike King David and Samson he never killed or wrestled wild animals or fight off giants and nephilims, yet today He remains the center piece of all history, more than 20 centuries has passed, still He remains the most powerful force known to mankind.
No king, general, empire, kingdom or being has affected the world like Jesus
Jesus Christ is the most influential entity that ever walked this earth!
That description shows the quality of being God sacrificed to bring us into His family.
Through Jesus you have been made a walking miracle on the face of the earth.
The love of God through Christ brings you into God's Spirit realm and God's Spirit Kingdom.
 John 3:8, Colossians 1:3 The Spirit Kingdom or realm of God is the realm of the miraculous.
It is realm of power, the power from that realm is called the power of the age to come. Hebrew 6:5
The Lord we follow is a miraculous being.
Man was originally created with a touch of the miraculous. We see this with the first man called the first Adam.
The second Adam came to restore what the first Adam lost. Jesus is the last Adam. Romans 5:15-19
Jesus came to reconcile the world back to God.
Jesus came to restore men back to good relationship with the Father.
Jesus brought back glory and the miraculous to humanity.
Miracles and glory are closely related. John 2:11
The first Adam was clothed with the glory of God; the last Adam raises us up back into glory.
The Word glory is from the greek Word 'cabod'.
Cabod means full weight.
So when God puts His glory on a life, He is putting is full weight of the miraculous, blessing, dominion, power, kindness, love and tender mercies on that life.
This is the glory that was on the first Adam which Jesus is raising us back into.
This glory is a demonstration of God's love to us.
The last Adam was a greater miracle than the first Adam. Jesus was more glorious than Adam the first man.
JESUS IS MORE THAN THE 1ST ADAM because;
- It is easier to accept  that God formed a man from dust and brought him to life by His breath than to accept that a virgin got pregnant without a man.
- Adam was created and put in a perfect garden, but Jesus was born into an imperfect world and under imperfect circumstances and he remained perfect all His life.
- Adam eventually sinned, Jesus never sinned
- Adam brought sin and death on humanity as a result of his action; Jesus brought life and hope to humanity as a result of His sacrifice.
- Adam lost it, Jesus restored it. Amen!

Jesus was sent into the world as a miracle. As Jesus was sent, so are we.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
