EXPLORING MATTHEW 8
(MIRACLE VERSE PRAYER)
The bible giving clear understanding view on our worship service to God by tarrying in his presence. Because in the secret place of God are mysteries that unveils miracles, signs and wonders hidden from men’s wisdom. Mysteries that reveal the profit of having the spirit of God in us.
Matthew 8:1
“When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him”
Jesus understands very well the mysteries of fellowship; he knew it that to every successful outcome, there is need for an income investment. Mountain in our days symbolizes A PLACE OF PRAYER (fellowship) which is the altar of service to God. Understanding the efficacy of prayer empowers a believer for manifestation, “show me a man that can pray and I will show you a God that can answer prayers”. Elijah prayed and the result was the ability of the weather condition to hearken to the voice of he that prayed.
An epoch of the divine ministry of Jesus literal manifestations of the unction upon him (Jesus) was required for kingdom advancement. Miracles need to be wrought for the benefits of the kingdom. Jesus prayed from the above scripture, his time was spent on the mountain fellowshipping with the father, in other words travailing on the mountain on issues of life, such as infirmities, establishing the business prophesied by prophet Isaiah “He alone took our infirmities”. We will look at it from the point of view that Jesus fought the battle of triumphant victory on the mountain and prevailed over the infirmities both in the physical and the spiritual aspect. Which was a prototype of Israel in Genesis 32:24-32? A place of prayer is a place where issues are settled. I believe with you to establish a place of prayer with an altar of koinonia(fellowship).
Jesus Christ after the mountain encounter delivered to us various epistle of miracles wrought by God through him as a vessel.
The first epistle was the healing of the man dying of leprosy(Matthew 8:2)
“And behold there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, lord if thou will thou can make me clean, and immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (Also read Luke 4:27).
Listen beloved anointing is not the weapon to work out miracles, prayer is the weapon (teach us to pray). Miracle is an event that appears inexplicable (impossible to explain) by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin, it means putting on the supernatural to prevail in the natural. On natural senses the leper is out casted from amidst the people due to the fact that he is a disease carrier, an incurable disease (by nature) but Jesus walking in the supernatural through prayer prevailed over the disease. Prayer is the key in opening the doors of possibilities in the midst of impossibilities not anointing.
Second epistle was healing of the servant of a centurion in Capernaum who was seriously sick of the palsy, grievously tormented by the affliction. “and when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him and saying, lord my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy(paralyzed), grievously . And Jesus said unto him I will come and heal him” to cut the story short. The centurion believing in the supernatural at work in the life of Jesus said unto him “speak a word and my servant will be made whole” a word from a man of prayer can go a long way to heal the sick in other country. Just a word from Jesus the boy was healed. A place of prayer (cry unto God) energized our word to carry power, which is worked done per time (science). Speak a word only! And my servant shall be healed. There is somebody out there longing for you to speak a word, what you need to do in order to activate the supernatural is to tarry(s) in the place of prayer: sowing in the place of prayer gives you harvest of dominion over diseases and oppressions of the devil.
Third epistle was the healing of Peter’s mother in-law, who was sick of fever. The question is can’t peter heal her? Peter a disciple of Jesus, who is always present in every scene of miracles by Jesus. Prayer warrior, choristers, Sunday school coordinator that can’t work miracle in the house of God as a result of lack of prayerlessness Christian life. This can be drive back to the fact that Christian need to tarry in the place of prayer in order to wrought miracles. Peter never considered prayer as that important for exploit in life, when it comes to issues of life, peter never understand that he was still a baby in that aspect. Many are in different denominations today that are busy claiming titles but are still known as baby Christians. “And Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid and sick of a fever. (Mark 1:29-31) and he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she ministered unto them. Believe me beloved there are many on their sick bed believing God for a touch and are waiting for you to be used as a vessel. Please tarry in a place of prayer, prayer sets your body on fire to melt strongholds of afflictions, sickness sees you and loses its grip off people.
Fourth epistle was casting out demons through his word, which we have talked about from the previous pages. Demons hear the commands of a praying machine, and they are quick to respond to stimulus. Demons quickly recognize the presence of a man of prayer. “Paul we know, Jesus we know, Peter we know, who are you? This are people that tarries in the atmosphere of prayer, they give themselves to the ethnicity of prayer, cultivate prayer as a kingdom routine for prevailing in the supernatural, likewise the natural.
Fifth epistle of miracle that may look minor but is not was that thereafter people started following him(Jesus), they started denying themselves pleasures just to be with Jesus “now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him”. They gather round about him, people don’t associate with powerless beings that cannot dispense miracle, rhema from the word of God. And all is traced back to prayer. Prayerful Christians are powerful Christians (Father teach us to pray).
Sixth epistle was the calming of the storm and the great tempest in the sea. “And when Jesus was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves; but he (Jesus) was asleep. And his disciples came to him and awoke him saying, lord save us, we perish and he said unto them, why are ye fearful, o ye of little faith? Then he arose and rebukes the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. (Psalm 65:7, 88:9 107:27). A man of prayer can never be carried away by winds or storms of life; they always speak peace (power) to them. Natural elements hearken to their voice, winds and seas are subjected to the power in them.
Seventh epistle was the healing of the demon possessed men. “when Jesus was come to the other side into the country of the Ger’gesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs exceeding fierce so that no man might pass by that way (mark 5:1-4), and behold they crieth out, saying what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Can you imagine that no man were able to go through that road because some demon possessed men, occupied the territory? They become chief executive officer of that area due to the fact that God’s children became prayer less Christians, but Jesus full of power walking in the supernatural invaded the area and seize the operation of the devil (prayerful lifestyle). Prayer is the motivator of faith, faith without work is dead in other words faith without prayer is dead. So beloved set an altar of prayer for yourself now, let prayer become your lifestyle and daily routine…………………………………………
