Peter 3:9b
…but on the
contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a
blessing.

In his book called
“You Were Born for This”, New York Times popular author Bruce Wilkinson reminds
the believers to channel the miracles for other people. Miracles are not merely
about the supernatural God has done during His ministry time (changes water
into wine, heals the blind man and the leper, raises the death man, and many
more). In the book, we are taught to be mindful of others’ need, so we can be
the pipeline for the miracles to those who put their trust in God.
God is creative in
showing His works, and He does it through His children—us! The Bible says about
how Mary experienced God’s miracle (read [bible]0luke1:38[/bible]). God chose
Mary not only to be the womb of baby Jesus, but also to be the pipeline of
miracles for human kind by giving birth to the Savior of the world.
This is God’s
desire upon us. He wants to use our life to be the pipeline of His miracles, so
the people waiting for God’s miracles can see and believe that nothing is
impossible for Him (read [bible]0luke1:37[/bible]). In other words, those who
have been called to receive His blessings can bless people surround them (read
[bible]ipete3:9[/bible]).
God asks us to be
involved. We might say, “How come? I have nothing to give!” If we doubt our
capacity, be sure of what we’ve got. God never asks us something we don’t own.
He asks us for something we have and He can turn it into a miracle for others.
If you have experienced difficult times, why don’t you support those in
financial crisis? If you have been in despair, and be encouraged again, why don’t
you become a miracle for frustrated people through your hug? Stop asking for a
miracle, but start praying that you become the pipeline of God’s miracle or God’s
grace for others. God will work together with us when we have heart to
influence others.
Stop
asking for a miracle, but be a pipeline of God’s miracles for others!
