MEMORY VERSE:

“Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” Matthew 15:28

BIBLE READING: Matthew 15:22-28.

22• And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23• But He answered her not a word. And His Disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

24• But he answered and said, I Am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25• Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me.

26• But He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27• And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.

28• Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

MESSAGE:

A. The simple explanation for a miracle is that it is a supernatural event that does not follow the laws of nature, to favour a person.

1• To be a candidate for a miracle, the first qualification is that such a fellow must be a carrier of The Living God.

2• He or she must be A Child of God.

3• God created man in His Own Image.

4• The Bible says in Genesis 1:27: “ So God created man in His Own Image, in The Image of God created He him; male and female created He them.”

5• When the carrier of God’s Image- man, got entangled with sin, he needed to be restored and The only One Who could do this was God Himself. 6• God achieved the restoration through His Only begotten Son Jesus Christ.

7• For us to be partakers of this Miracle of Redemption, we must believe Him to access His Power.

8•. John 1:11-12 “He came to His Own, and His Own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave The Right to become Children of God, to those who believe in His Name:”

B. Beloved, you simply cannot partake of The Miraculous without belonging to the Miracle-Worker!

1• Do you desire a miracle?

2• You must be born again. Why?

3• Jesus Christ said it clearly that miracles are children’s bread; you can’t have them until you become A Child of God , as we see in Matthew 15:22-28 our Bible Reading of Today.

4• My prayer is that you will give your life over to the Miracle-Worker if you haven’t done that already

5•. So that you too can begin to experience miracles from now.

6• If you are already qualified for A Miracle, as long as you are living by His Word. 7• Miracle Is The Children’ Bread and it is ours to get.

C. Another thing that can qualify you for A Miracle is faith.

1• Jesus commended the faith of the woman and she got what she needed.

2• I encourage you to come to God in faith today and those intimidating situations in your life shall become history In The Mighty Name of Jesus Amen

3• Has the doctor said the baby in your womb is dead and must be evacuated?

4• I speak to that baby now to receive the life of God, In The Mighty Name of Jesus Amen

5• I stand by The Word of God in Romans 8:11 and declare “…..if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.” 6• Receive your Miracle now, In The Mighty Name of Jesus Amen

PRAYER POINT:

Father, I believe You are the Miracle-Working God. Please give me A Miracle today, In The Mighty Name of Jesus Amen
