Has Your Miracle Become Ordinary

Has your miracle become ordinary?

Once you had a vision, a desire, dream, you were willing to work hard for it. Praying and fasting, seeking all the help you can get to make it a reality. And like Jabez in 1 Chron 4:10 10 Truly, Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "If only, when blessing, you will bless me, and will broaden my borders, and your hand will be with me, and you will cause me not to be oppressed by evil." And God granted to him the things for which he prayed. Then God blessed you and it became a reality. You were over the moon with joy, you wanted everyone to know what the Lord has done for you.

Then over time, has that miracle become ordinary. Are you taking care of that miracle as a miracle or like anything ordinary. As if it just happened.

The Bible in Psalm 127:1 says’ “If the LORD does not build the house, the work of the builders is useless; if the LORD does not protect the city, it does no good for the sentries to stand guard”.

I wish to encourage you in the word God in Psalm 127:3 New Revised Standard Version

“Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward”.

It is mainly taken for granted by many that having a child is normal. Once you get married, it's expected that soon there will be a baby in the family. Often times this is the case, making it look ordinary, but if this doesn’t happen for you and you have to go through many things, disappointment, anger, confusion, rejection, suicidal thoughts, just to mention a few, if then you turn and surrender all to God and you are blessed with the fruit of the womb, then you can clearly say without a shadow of doubt; that children are a gift from God.

In Deut: 28:1-8 we find many promises of God, 1 "So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts. 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep. 5 Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses. 6 Blessed shall you be entering and departing. 7 The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways. 8 The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.

For example marriage is usually taken for granted but we see according to the word of God in, (Tobit 7:15 And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfill his blessing in you. Tobit 8:5 For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God).

When you have tried all that you know how but after many years you still don't have a child, the doctors have told you all is well with you and yet they can't explain why no child is coming forth, remember that all things work together for those who trust God(Rom 8:28).

After this surrender that desire for children to God and like the Bible says 1 Thes 5:16-18 16 Rejoice always. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 Give thanks in everything. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for all of you. And Philp 4:4-6

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice. 5 Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6 Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.7 And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, do this, even though it maybe hard to. You may even think of adopting.

In Ps 86:11 Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. Jer 17:14 says, Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.

Ps 31:14-16 15 But I have hoped in you, O Lord. I said, "You are my God. 16 My fate is in your hands. Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who are persecuting me. 17 Shine your face upon your servant. Save me in your mercy.

I wish to encourage you, do not give up on God. Gods’ timing is the best no matter what you have to go through. When the time of God comes, even your enemies will know that God is faithful at all times. with God delay is not denial.

Whatever you have, even the breath in your lungs, don't take it for granted, it's a gift from God. Use it well and thank God for everything and in everything.

Rev 21:5-6 5 And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, "Behold, I make all things new." And he said to me, "Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true." 6 And he said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life
