Are You Ready For A Miracle?

I’ve heard it said that people aren’t really lazy; they are just uninspired and unmotivated! Well, the problem is that too many would rather remain uninspired and unmotivated because they don’t want to quit being a couch potato. It’s hard to make yourself get up and get moving.

Proverbs 6:6-11 says of such a person, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy want as an armed man."

Are you ready for a miracle in your life? If you are then you will never get it by being a couch potato. You will never get a miracle by being uncommitted, uninvolved, and uninspired! You will never get a miracle by living in disobedience to God’s call to your life, or by doing nothing.

Miracles only come when we are living in obedience to God’s Word and doing what he has called us to do!

Let me give you some examples:

How many of you want a financial blessing or need a financial miracle? Since most of life is governed in some manner by our financial condition, this area of life seems to be one of our greatest concerns.

Let me tell you how to get a miracle in your finances! Are you ready for this? Do you really want to know? Do you really want God to open the windows of Heaven and pour out financial miracles upon you? Well get ready – here comes your miracle – if you will do what I’m about to tell you!

Obey God in the giving of your tithes and offerings!

What! That’s what it takes to get a miracle from God? We have to give it to him in order to get it back? Yes, that’s the answer folks. You don’t believe me? Then look with me at the following verses and see what it takes to get a miracle!

Malachi 3:8-11, "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts."

Some of you are determining right now that you are not going to do what Malachi says to do and you are never going to see God’s blessings financially, nor are you ever going to see financial miracles happen in your life. God will have mercy on you, and you might squeak by somehow through his grace, but you are never going to be debt free, you’re never going to get your head above water, and you are always going to feel like you are drowning in financial problems. If we live in direct disobedience to the Word of God how can we expect a miracle? Are your ready for a miracle? Then obey God!
