Supernatural Intervention When Unlikely

 


Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. Ps. 31:2 (KJV).


Supernatural intervention is about a daily occurrence in the lives of God’s children. Many of these interventions are almost unnoticeable, while a few others may be.

Now, there are various situations that you may find yourself that warrant supernatural intervention. In some of these situations, you really expect that the intervention will come, probably because you feel that God is obligated to intervene on your behalf. One of such instance as we see from scriptures is the story of Peter in Acts 12. Peter was imprisoned and the authorities intended to put him to death like they did to James. Peter was not put in prison because of something wrong that he did, but because of the gospel, so you would expect that God would intervene. Another case is that of Paul and Silas in Acts 16. They were also imprisoned because of the gospel, so it looks like God was obligated to intervene on their behalf.

However, there are some other situations in which you may find it difficult to even release your faith for supernatural intervention, probably due to the circumstances that led to the situation. In Acts 27, the scripture narrates the experience of Paul and the other fellows on the ship sailing to Rome. Paul had previously warned of the danger of sailing on at that time, but the captain of the ship had convinced the Centurion that they could proceed on the journey. Eventually, it turned out that they should have given heed to Paul’s warning, because they were now in danger of losing not just the ship, but also their lives. It was at this critical point that they began to listen to Paul. Thank God, Paul understood the mercy of God, so rather than condemning them for their refusal to listen, he encouraged them to expect God’s supernatural intervention.

You also may find yourself in one of that life’s situation that appears as if you brought on yourself, or out of your refusal to heed divine instruction, and the devil is now guilt tripping you against expecting any form of supernatural intervention. Well, I am glad to let you know that God’s mercy has you, and He is more than willing to intervene to deliver you out of that predicament.

First, you must get rid of that guilt mentality, then admit to your Father in Heaven that you missed it, and you desire His mercy and intervention to get things on the right course again. God will definitely come through for you and rescue you out of that situation.

Bear in mind that as long as we are on this part of eternity, the mercy of God is limitless, but the devil will do everything he knows to do to keep you away from accessing it.

I have heard of many testimonies of people, who got into very dire situations by their own making, and I have probably experienced a few myself, but supernatural intervention still came through by God’s mercy.

Turn to God right away, if you are in any of such situation today, ask for His mercy and supernatural intervention where you need it, and hold on in faith for Him to come through. I assure you that you will not be put to shame.

Blessed By Association - Updated

Abraham by God’s calling had become a blessed man walking in the blessing. God appeared to him, changed his name and gave him the covenant of circumcision. You would have thought that all this will happen to just Abraham and his family, but not so, the blessing as we see it (Gen 17: 12-14) was also for as many as were with Abraham at that time. They came into the lineage of blessing simply by association with the man Abraham, they were to be circumcised just like Abraham, and came under the same covenant blessing. These people who were associated with Abraham at that time, including his household servants, enjoyed the most of the covenant that God Almighty gave to him. It therefore goes to show that there are associations in life that will forever set you up for the blessing. That is why you must treasure the relationships that God brings into your life, and never take them for granted.  In one of the piece published on this blog,  Identity by association , it was emphasized t...

Becoming a Person of Value

Over the years, I have come to realize that everyone likes to associate with people of value. It means that if you are someone who commands value, people will be drawn to you. If not, they will not. Now, suppose you find yourself always seeking to associate with others whom you consider valuable, but discover that not many people are eager to associate with you — this could simply mean that you are not yet commanding enough value. I use the words “not yet” intentionally, because I am mindful that we can all command great value if we take the right steps. Here are a few steps to help you truly become a person of value: 1. Have the Right Perspective The first step to becoming a person of value is to have the right perspective of who you are — who you are in Christ and the graces God has bestowed upon you. I do not think you can be of worth to yourself or to others if you do not first understand who you are in Christ. Remember, you are valuable in the sight of God, which is why He was wil...

Becoming a Person of Value - Part 2

In the first part of this series, I shared the first two steps to becoming a person of value: 1. Having the right perspective 2. Valuing people These are foundational principles for building true value. Today, I’ll share three additional steps that can help you on this journey. But remember—these steps only work when you internalize and practice them consistently. It’s not enough to know them; you must live them. 3. Value Knowledge and Learning The third step to becoming a person of value is to develop an insatiable hunger for knowledge. Be a lifelong learner, and to do that, you must remain humble. No matter how knowledgeable you are, there is always something to learn—even from those who may know less than you in other areas. As a Christian, growing in the knowledge of God is essential. It will strengthen your foundation in times of trials and storms. Keep pressing toward deeper understanding of Him (Philippians 3:13-14). The pursuit of God is the most noble quest of all. However...
