“He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone, “Peter is standing at the door!”. “You’re out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.” Acts 12:13-15.
A friend of mine entered the class to teach and noticed that one of the students had glasses on and tears were running down her eyes uncontrollably. Out of compassion, he asked her to remove it and prayed for her. The little girl had faith enough to believe that her eye defect had been corrected.
A few days later, she wrongly copied something from the board and the matter was reported to the Principal. The following discussions ensued:
Principal: Where are your glasses?
Student: I stopped wearing them.
Principal: Why?
Student: My teacher prayed for me and asked me to stop wearing them.
Principal: Can you see clearly now?
Student: Yes!
Your guess is as good as mine; it was met with some level of consternation. However, the student had recieved her healing by faith. To some people around, she must be out of her mind. That notwithstanding, the healing and testimony is hers.
The truth is that your testimony might make you look weird and out of place, share it anyway. The devil will always want to downplay your testimony because he know that it is your victory asset. Do not let him stop you from testifying.
Oh! I’m so in love with Rhoda. She did not need to open the door, all she needed was to hear the voice of Peter and that was it.
I don’t know who to is for, but I’m sure it’s for someone. It may have not emerged yet, but your miracle has happened. You may not have gotten pregnant yet, but if you can hear God to the point of belief, you will carry your baby.
Elijah did not need to see the rain fall, all he needed was to hear the sound of abundant rain.
Whatever you have heard from God is enough to perfect your miracle. Just give him praise in advance. They can say that you are out of your mind, but it’s okay. Do not let them downplay your testimony.
Get out of you mind and let the world know that you do not only have a miracle, you are a miracle.
Yours truly,
Ibeh Uche Sam
