Mark 16:17-18 says ” And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
DAILY READING; • Acts 17:16-34; Judges 7-8; Job 37
On March 30, 1970, a horse was born that belonged to American sportswoman, Penny Chenery. She named the horse ‘Secretariat’, and planned to put it in horse races.
However, some of the initial trainers of this horse thought it was clumsy and lacked the potentials for winning races. But despite their doubts, Penny Chenery, remained confident that Secretariat would be a winner. Her confidence stemmed from the fact that Secretariat was fathered by a winning horse named ‘Bold Ruler’, who had won several races and was named Horse of the Year in 1957. Bold ruler possessed both speed and stamina and at that time was the leading sire in North America.
Penny Chenery was so confident that Secretariat would one day be a winner, that she staked virtually all she had financially on this horse.
She was not disappointed. By the time Secretariat was three years old in 1973, it became the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown. Secretariat went on to set world records in horse racing. In 1974, it was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
In 1999, Secretariat was the only non-human included among ESPN’s 50 greatest athletes of the century.
It also became the first thoroughbred to be honored with its own U.S. Postal stamp.
In 2010, a blockbuster movie titled ‘Secretariat’ was released which was based on the true story of this legendary horse.
As believers we are born for signs and wonder, by virtue of our spiritual parentage. We carry the DNA of the Almighty wonder- working God!
Horse owners understand that winning horses don’t randomly happen, it is in their DNA. When a horse comes from a bloodline of champions, though it may initially appear weak, the DNA of a winner within it will eventually manifest.
Likewise,as a believer, though outwardly you may not sometimes look like a winner, inwardly you have the blood of a champion running in your veins.
Therefore it doesn’t matter your current situation or the challenges that may sometimes surround you, what matters is that you have within you what it takes to manifest as a wonder to the world.
At Calvary, Christ shed His Blood to give us the power to live as wonders on the earth. His Blood was not shed in vain, it was shed to give us the divine enablement to have permanent victory over life’s circumstances.
Therefore understand that you are born to dominate over every challenge. You are born to overcome sickness, poverty, barrenness, stagnancy and every negative condition. As a believer, wherever you go, signs and wonders are meant to follow you.
Mark 16:17-18 says ” And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
Certainly, redemption has positioned you to become a living wonder. Therefore today, by the power in the Blood of Jesus, whatever cannot be termed ‘wonderful’ is disconnected from you. By the Blood, wherever you go, your life will indeed be a sign and wonder to everyone around you.
PRAYER: Father please help me to begin to live in the consciousness that I am born as a sign and wonder to my generation. Today, by the Blood of Jesus I claim my victory over everything challenging my wonderful destiny in Jesus Name.
