Calling forth convincing and irrefutable proof

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
Peace and grace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ!Today I would like to start talking about calling forth convincing and irrefutable proof.Many people expect miracle in their life and sometimes the waiting continues many years. I want to help you today to see that we should not wait for a miracle to come, but we need to call forth and cause these miracles. Any miracle that a person desires to experience in his life can be brought about by this person. It is possible that the miracle won’t come right away, but when you build the necessary (natural) platform for it, it will absolutely come into your life. And when it happens you will have undeniable proof for your faith and trust in the Lord.If you do not do anything while waiting for supernatural intervention, then you will be on the losing end! Many people have experienced total bankruptcy and disappointment because they were passively waiting for their miracle. God tells you today: «Do not wait for your miracle! Start causing it!»What is proof?When I talk about proof, it is about real, tangible results. Proof is physical, undeniable result that is caused by appropriate actions.In order to have such obvious results of faith or the proof, we need to take some radical steps. The story of Hannah that is told in 1st Samuel (1: 6-26) is a very clear illustration of how a person can cause a miracle with his actions.
«And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb. So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat. Then Elkanah her husband said to her, „Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?” So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the LORD. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish. Then she made a vow and said, „O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” And it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth. Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. So Eli said to her, „How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!” But Hannah answered and said, „No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.” Then Eli answered and said, „Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” And she said, „Let your maidservant find favour in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. Then they rose early in the morning and worshipped before the LORD, and returned and came to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.” Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow. But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will take him, that he may appear before the LORD and remain there forever.” So Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the LORD establish His word.” Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him. Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was young. Then they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli. And she said, “O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.»
What was Hannah’s situation? For years Hannah was barren, and it looked like her situation is totally hopeless. Besides her own burden she had to deal with unfavourable attitude of the other wife of her husband who challenged her with her words.
« And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb» (1 Samuel, 1: 6).
Let me say that every time when someone hurts you, it is because your miracle is very close. Hannah experienced obvious intervention from God, and she succeeded in turning her misery into a miracle. It happened because she was not passive while expecting her miracle. Hannah made some radical steps. Tomorrow we will look at how Hannah acted in her situation which was the situation of barrenness and humility.God bless you today!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    «The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies» (Psalm 110:1-2).This passage talks about Christ: «Rule in the midst of Your enemies», but the Body of Christ — His Church — is included in this prophetic word. Jesus was told to sit at the right hand of God; but it would be God’s children that would overcome God’s enemies and every thing that rise against the will of God. God wants us to rule and reign in the midst of the enemies and unfavourable circumstances. We must rule because we have been given God’s authority and we were born conquerors.

    1. Use the spiritual weapons God has given you: «Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God» (Ephesians, 6:10-17).
