When people spoke of miracles, my logic used to protest – it is coincidence, it would have happened that way either way; it is the positive thoughts and law of attraction… Let us face it, we will find an explanation for everything if we think about it hard enough.
The truth is that the way God made our minds to be so enquiring and intelligent in itself is a miracle – can you even try to make man with body, mind and soul, so intricate and involved and yet so perfect?
Yes, I have seen absolute miracles in my life.
After believing for 10 years that I have failed matric, I found out that despite all the odds against me, I have in fact passed! Praise God!
My little boy was brought back from death when he was about 3 and half years old, before we were born again. John-Ross was sick with flu, which caused him to choke on a piece of food. His eyes rolled back in his head and he became unconscious. Wade tried to revive him with CPR, but it did not work. The little boy was lying on the floor, blue in the face from lack of oxygen to the brain. We thought we had lost him when we started praying to God – amazing how we put Him in charge of our lives when we have no other option. Suddenly, John-Ross sat up weakly and vomited, the piece of food dislodged. He has been fine ever since with no damage to his brain or any other part of his body.
So many prayers of healing have been answered in our lives, one of the most recent being little Debbie, when she came down with something. At first she was very tired and sleepy and then developed a fever. We had only enough money for food, but she became sicker with her temperature rising rapidly and she started vomiting. She did not eat for about 3 days. We were by her bedside, praying and trying to find out what was wrong with her. She had no pain, but people said that meningitis was doing the rounds. Meningitis is a disease that causes infection of the meninges, the thin lining that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and could cause death.
On the third day she was even more weak and sleepy and we decided to stop the lip service of praying, but not putting our trust in God. We took our last bit of money and took her for a check-up. She had an ear infection and received antibiotics. When she arrived back home she was much better already, but she had not had her medicine yet! God wanted to see our faith and because we obeyed, he saved our baby and blessed our finances!
Speaking of financial blessings, God uses people to be a financial blessing unto you. Money does not necessarily fall out of the sky, but our God is super-natural!
We like to meditate on Ephesians 3: 20 daily: “Now glory be to God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes. ”
Another miracle happened when we were unable to pay our rent, it was already past due and the proprietor called on the Saturday to say that it had to be paid by the Monday. We had no money at all, but we spoke in faith when we said: “No problem, we will have money on Monday. ”
On Monday Wade called a client to discuss something when she said the following: “Wade, I hope I did not offend you, but I deposited R3000 into your bank account to use as you wish. ” This lady had no idea about our situation, but when God spoke to her she acted and she will be richly blessed for that.
We had other blessings happen of physical nature, such as food and clothing and toys for the children. Our aim is to become a blessing unto others and especially to those who have blessed us.
I always felt very ashamed of accepting blessings for fear that it may inconvenience those who bless us. God has since revealed to me that when others bless us, they will be blessed in turn.
