A notable miracle

Acts 4: 16
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath
been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we
cannot deny it.
After the news of the healing of the lame man who was at the gate beautiful began to
spread like wild fire throughout the entire city, the disciples were arrested by the
priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees in a bid to prevent the news of
this man's healing from spreading any further. The miraculous healing created a
platform for the promulgation of the gospel of Jesus in the city, which had earlier
experienced the conversion of five thousand men to the faith of our Lord Jesus and the
Pharisees were visibly threatened. The Pharisees did not agree with the fact that
Jesus had risen from the dead, and this miracle performed by the disciples in the name
of Jesus served to validate the fact that He had risen indeed and many had started
believing it. Our text lets us into the discussions between the priests, the captain of the
temple, and the Sadducees who were seeking ways to stop the revival in the city and
invariably the gospel of Jesus Christ. As referenced in the text, they had a dilemma,
which was the fact that they had knowledge that this lame man had been at the gate
Beautiful for a long time. They had no choice but to acknowledge that this was a
NOTABLE MIRACLE which was done and COULD NOT BE DENIED. How do you
stop something that you know is NOTABLE and CANNOT BE DENIED? Did your boss
try to stop your promotion but your performance was so excellent and undeniable that
even your management and the board of directors had to acknowledge it, to the extent
that your boss' plan to deny you of your promotion was overruled? Has someone in a
place of authority tried to stand in the way of your business in a bid to stop you from
getting a significant opportunity, but by the time your proposal was analysed, your past
experience and competence was superior to your competition that they had no choice
but to give you the job? These are NOTABLE miracles! A Notable miracle doesn't
always have to be in form of the apparent signs and wonders such as healings,
deliverances etc. It is about bringing God's power into our daily living- on our jobs and
businesses, interacting with our neighbours, etc- to the point where we deliver
superior value or results that surpass the expectations of superiors, colleagues,
subordinates, neighbours and our various audiences. This kind of supernatural power
can make us outperform all our peers that those around us will have no choice but to
Father, I pray for the supernatural influence of God on my job and my business. I pray
that they yield unprecedented results and superior value beyond the expectation of my
colleagues and competitors in Jesus Name. I declare that my job and business will
yield NOTABLE results in Jesus Name. I declare my children will produce NOTABLE
results in their academics and in every area of their lives in Jesus Name. Father, I
declare that every spiritual attack trying to stop my progress on my job and my
business is hereby terminated in Jesus Name.
