PRAISING GOD
 
Many miracle crusades today are done in the name of Jesus Christ. Sadly, they are using His name in vain for theirs are not similar to the biblical accounts. Today’s miracles are fake healings! We should be careful of the modern-day faith healers who are only after our money. These deceivers will receive the greater recompense for they made the people to believe a lie. Let us be content with the promises of God in the Bible. Yes, we should take care of our bodies, but it must be for His glory and honour alone, not for our own sakes!
 
Seen by all people: The people saw the man (who was born lame) not only walking but also praising the Lord. The result of the miracle brought glory to God. He was not secretive about what happened in his life. He was so full of joy. This was a physical healing of a man who was lame from conception. How about the joy of a man who is a sinner from the womb and is forgiven and cleansed by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? So many today in the church can be classified as secret Christians.
 
Known by all people: When the miracle was noted, the people recognised the man. He was identified as the one who begged at the Beautiful gate. This showed his continued presence in that place for so long that he had such a title. This was important as the people could then see what a miracle it was.
 
Wondered at by all people: The people knew the miracle and they were filled with wonder and awe. This incident caught the attention of many. There was no doubt in the minds of those who knew that an authentic miracle had taken place. This is not the same as today’s so-called healing miracles where there is no confirmation. It was obvious the man was born lame, and here he was walking and leaping.
 
Are you deceived by the healing miracles or deliverance ministries that are only for money? Are you assured of a glorified body as promised to all those who have truly believed in Jesus Christ?
 
THOUGHT: Do I praise God for the life He has given me?
PRAYER: Father in heaven, Thou knowest my physical limitations. May Thou heal me when I have bodily problems.
