Miracles Comes in Obedience

Matthew 4:4 AMP

But Jesus replied, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘M an shall not live by bread alone , but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God .’ ”

The beauty of a life spent with Jesus is that the difficulties of life become easier to handle, even when there seem to be impossibilities. Most of the time, when someone instructs, counsels, and advises us on life, it’s because they have enough experience to see and know the outcome should we follow their advice. But they can also see the detriment, should we neglect that advice. Listening to Jesus is the best decision anyone can make because he knows the plans of the Father for us, and he wants the best for you.

Sometimes life can throw us a ball and knock us down. It can come in losing a job that spirals into lack of finances, inability to pay bills, rent or mortgage, or even put food on the table. This one incident can also lead to depression and even unwanted sickness like high-stress levels, high blood pressure, anxiety attacks, sleepless nights, frustrations, and even anger. It could bring us to a place of hopelessness and even thoughts of suicide.

Who would think, one unexpected incident in life could attract so many negatives? But this is the reality of life. In the times of being tempted in the wilderness, Jesus quoted, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word, which constantly goes forth from God’s mouth.” (Matthew 4:4 TPT).

Jesus was showing us the most valuable possession is not material, but the very words that God speaks. The story Peter and his friends toiling all night to catch fish comes to play here, Jesus, knowing the need, helped Peter position himself for a miracle. He got specifically into Peter’s boat and requested Peter to push the boat out on the water so he could teach the people from the boat. While it may seem like an insignificant request, Peter positioned himself for the miraculous to be activated and by the words Jesus, he caught the fishes in an awkward time.

It is his words that can shape and change any natural situation. It is the word that brings in miracles, if we are positioned to listen and obey.
