Supporting Texts: Mark 16:17-18, Acts 2:22, Exodus 7:3, John 4:48

INTRODUCTION:

The God we serve is not a God of emptiness or silence—He is the God of signs and wonders. From the beginning of Scripture to the end, we see that God consistently reveals Himself through supernatural acts that defy human explanation. These signs are not just for entertainment; they are divine tools to authenticate His presence, establish His will, and draw people to Himself.

Signs and wonders are divine interruptions that shake natural order and provoke awe and reverence for God. They bring deliverance to the oppressed, healing to the sick, provision to the needy, and faith to the weak. They are the manifestation of the invisible God in visible ways.

As we explore the nature and purpose of signs and wonders, let us be reminded that God is still working miracles today. His power has not diminished, and His desire to show Himself mighty is stronger than ever.

1. GOD REVEALS HIS POWER THROUGH SIGNS AND WONDERS

God uses signs and wonders to demonstrate that He is sovereign over all creation.

a) Signs Display God's Supremacy Over Nature (Exodus 14:21-22)

The Red Sea parted by the power of God to deliver Israel from Egypt.

b) Wonders Affirm God’s Authority Over Sickness and Death (John 11:43-44)

Jesus raised Lazarus, showing He has power over the grave.

c) God Uses Signs to Prove His Servants (Acts 2:22)

Jesus was approved by God through miracles, wonders, and signs.

d) Signs Are Part of God's Covenant with His People (Mark 16:17-18)

Believers are promised signs as they walk in obedience and faith.

Biblical Example: Moses and the plagues of Egypt—God performed ten signs to deliver His people and prove His greatness (Exodus 7-12).

2. SIGNS AND WONDERS DRAW PEOPLE TO SALVATION

They are instruments of evangelism and soul-winning.

a) Signs Confirm the Gospel Message (Hebrews 2:4)

God testifies to the Word with signs, wonders, and miracles.

b) They Break Resistance and Unbelief (Acts 8:6-8)

Many believed in Samaria because they saw the signs Philip performed.

c) Wonders Open Doors for the Preaching of the Word (Acts 3:6-10)

The healing of the lame man led to thousands being saved.

d) Signs Turn Hearts to God (John 2:11)

Jesus’ first miracle at Cana caused His disciples to believe in Him.

Biblical Example: The healing of the lame man at the temple gate—Led to salvation and the spread of the gospel (Acts 3:1-10).

3. GOD STILL PERFORMS SIGNS AND WONDERS TODAY

Miracles did not end in the Bible—they continue wherever faith is alive.

a) Jesus Christ Is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever (Hebrews 13:8)

His power has not changed, and He still works wonders.

b) God Responds to Expectant Faith (Matthew 9:29)

"According to your faith, be it unto you."

c) Signs Follow Those Who Believe (Mark 16:17-18)

We are carriers of God's wonder-working power through the Holy Spirit.

d) The Church Is a Platform for Manifesting God’s Power (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

The gospel should be demonstrated in power, not just in words.

Biblical Example: The shadow of Peter healing the sick—God’s power was so real in the early church that even shadows became healing instruments (Acts 5:15-16).

4. BELIEVERS MUST SEEK GOD, NOT JUST HIS SIGNS

Signs should point us to God—not become idols.

a) Don’t Chase Miracles—Chase the Miracle Worker (Matthew 6:33)

Seek first the Kingdom, and signs will follow naturally.

b) Signs Confirm the Word, Not Replace It (John 4:48)

Jesus rebuked people who only believed because of miracles.

c) Walk in Holiness and Obedience to Carry God’s Power (Acts 5:32)

The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey Him.

d) Stay Humble and Give God the Glory (Acts 3:12-13)

Peter and John made it clear that it was not their power, but God's.

Biblical Example: Simon the Sorcerer wanted the power, but not the God behind it—He was rebuked by Peter (Acts 8:18-23).

CONCLUSION:

God is still in the business of signs and wonders. He is not a dead God or a powerless deity—He is alive, active, and able to intervene supernaturally. These wonders are available not just to ministers, but to every believer who walks in faith and obedience. However, our focus must always remain on the Giver, not just the gift.

As we honour and trust the God of signs and wonders, may our lives reflect His power, and may our generation see the reality of God through the miracles He does in and through us.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Lord, manifest Your power in my life through signs and wonders.

2. Father, use me as a vessel of Your miraculous power.

3. Let every form of sickness, bondage, and delay in my life bow to Your wonders.

4. Holy Spirit, empower me to walk in supernatural faith.

5. Let signs and wonders confirm the gospel as I preach and witness.
