THE MIRACULOUS BLESSING

When you ask the Lord for a miracle in your life, what are you really asking for? You're asking God to take am impossible situation in your life and turn it around to a possible situation or a to make it into your high expectation. What you do not know is that there were many things in your life that were already well and perfect until you started making demands that invited the devil to steal, kill and destroy.
Job had a beautiful life, prayed well for all his children, made sacrifices for each of them simply because he'd thought they were living very reckless lives.

Job 1: 1-5
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
​Job secured everything he had, including his life, family, possession, business, and finances. He was in fear of losing any of those things God had blessed him with, Job looked up to God for more miracles, signs and wonder; he'd wanted to ascertain that God was always with him by offering sacrifices continually to secure all he had. Satan knew that the only way to put his faith at stake was to attack him and everything he ever sacrificed to God for. The moment the opportunity came, Satan struck job mercilessly.

In life, God uses what the devil meant for evil for a miraculous blessing. Job stayed in his sickness for a long time, his children whom he'd sacrificed goats and rams for in order to be right before God all died, all he ever labored for that he'd thought God was watching over were gone. What else was job living for? He was stripped of everything he ever had. He needed a miracle somehow, he remembered all he ever had and feared losing them; that was when he'd known that fear was evil and he should not have worried about losing them. God, however, took all that the devil meant for evil and turned it around for good.​ He took all that Job once had and was scared of losing to do the miraculous in Job's life.

The miracle most times is not getting married when everyone else was getting married, it is in getting married when you were written off as a perpetual bachelor or spinster. The miracle is not being born with a silver spoon and staying wealthy, the miracle is being raised from the ground and skyrocketed to the top where many would wonder about you. The miracle is not having what other have when they have It but having what you never expect to have when others are struggling to get it. The miracle is not getting pregnant the first time your husband slept with you or impregnating a woman the first time you made love  to her as your wife, but it's in having a child when God is done with the special child with a special assignment, knowing that everything needed for the children are well in place. Don't ask for a miracle when you're not really in need of a miracle; take what you have and be grateful to God for it. Your miracle most times comes from a repair of what was perfectly made but the devil came with his tempest and destroyed it because you asked for a miracle.

Miracles are for those who truly need a miracle; miracles are not for those that are well and complete. Miracles are not for those that are needless of the basics of life, they are for those genuinely lacking the basic needs of life and need help through life. Appreciate where you are because you're already a miracle.
