Zechariah 9:11 ‘As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.’
DAILY READING – • 1 Timothy 5:23-6:21; Jeremiah 3-4; Psalm 120
According to a report in Christian Post and other News outlets, on April 4, 2016, a young pastor in Basra, Baghdad miraculously escaped from a car bomb attack.
On the fateful day, Pastor Joseph had left his home and entered his car to go to Church. However, on the familiar journey toward the church where he worked as a pastor, he immediately sensed something was wrong. Then almost right away, an explosion ripped through the car, violently shaking the vehicle and—at the same time—engulfing it in flames.
He couldn’t see anything beyond the flames and heard the voice of someone outside shouting that the man inside the car was dying. Though shocked by what was happening, yet against all odds, Pastor Joseph was able to exit the rapidly burning vehicle.
The amazing thing was that, though he had been in the burning car, he came out unscathed with no burns at all. There were pieces of glass in his hair and parts of the exploded bomb in the scarf around his neck, yet he didn’t have any scratch. Nothing touched him and he did not lose even a drop of blood.
Also amazing was the fact that, after the flames had gone out, every part of the car was destroyed and damaged, except for the driver’s seat, where the pastor had been sitting. His miraculous escape became a wonder to many people in Bagdad, especially at a time when many had already been killed from similar car bomb attacks.
Mathew 19:26 says ‘But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, with men this is impossible but with God all things are possible’
Indeed no matter how impossible any situation, God is never limited in how He can save. We serve the all-powerful God who does wonders without number. He can intervene even in the hardest of situations and show Himself mighty on our behalf. What happened to Pastor Joseph goes to show that there can be no barrier when God’s hand is stretched out. He is not at all limited in organizing a rescue for His children.
He is the same God who rescued the three Hebrew boys from fire, divided the red sea for the Israelites and shut up the mouth of the lions for Daniel. Indeed no matter how deep any pit, God is able to reach down and deliver us from it.
Zechariah 9:9 says, ‘As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.’
Through the Blood of Jesus, we have guarantee of deliverance, out every waterless pit. Through the price He paid at Calvary, we are destined to live extraordinary lives on earth. Through the redemptive benefits of the Blood of Jesus, we are born again to be a wonder to our world. Indeed the supernatural should be the natural realm for everyone that is born of God.
However, it is unto every man according to his faith. Miracles are the deliberate acts of God, in response to the deliberate faith of men. The level of your faith will determine the level of dominion and power you can walk in.
Therefore today, through in-depth study of God’s Word, let us determine today to build up our level of faith. Indeed through the exercise triumphant faith, we shall live extraordinary lives and be a sign and wonder to our world.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your awesome deliverances in my life, Please grant me fresh appetite for Your Word so that I can acquire the great faith that will enable me to continually live a triumphant life on earth in Jesus Name. .
