The Cry for Miracles


The topic we are considering this day is what God is expecting from us to get out of the wood. Every one of us has to get to the point when we need to cry for miracles. You don’t need to pretend all is well when there is depression, pain, and struggle without reward. There is mixed ups, confusion and desperation under your cloth.  It is my prayer that you will experience your relief in Jesus name. 
The Word of God says, “Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.  He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.” Psalm 107: 28-30.  To cry means sobbing, scream, shriek, to call loudly for a remedy and action. This is what God is expecting you to do for your miracles to surface today. It is an attribute of prayers from a sincere heart. It is time for a strong desire for a change from the valley of life to the mountain of life. I decree that you are lifted from that position of despondency to the mountain of unprecedented celebration of miracles in Jesus name. 
We need to cry for miracles in our nation at this crucial moment of security challenge. The situations around us are beyond the national security apparatus. The only key to salvage our lives and property from wanton destruction is the cry of the people of God for divine intervention. Do not leave everything to the leaders and security agents. Every one of us has a role to play in order to bring peace and unity to our dear country. Let us stop the blame game and let us harness all resources to fight the various scourges that are plaguing the coexistence of our country. The Lord gives us a condition for this miracle in the Bible, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.” 2Chronicles 7: 14
While Jesus was passing through Jericho, there was a man by the roadside with ears hearing of shout of joy and testimonies. Lots of news making the round about Jesus Christ but he was wallowing in abject poverty and gloominess even by the roadside. He took an unusual step that caught the attention of the crowd and Jesus. “Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Mark 10: 46-47. The man had been begging for alms before Jesus arrived his vicinity, when he heard that Jesus was passing by, he shouted and Jesus stopped at his shout to attend to his needs.
“Pass me not o gentle Saviour
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by
Savior, Savour, hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by”
It is time to cry for salvation. It is time for cry for deliverance. It is time to cry for breakthrough. It is time to cry for divine intervention. No matter what you are passing through, if you will cry to Him today He is ready to listen and intervene in that situation.  “…and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honour me." Psalm 50: 15. 
If you are ready to cry to God now, let us pray together and say, Lord Jesus, I have seen my inadequacy and know that you alone is able to save me. Have mercy on me and deliver me from the grip of sin satan and flesh. I confess you as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you for coming ibto my heart and life.
