Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. John 11:38-38.
Many a believer know they got a problem, many are fully aware of God’s ability to turnaround their challenges but not many understand that the expression of the power of God is lifted in the face of a self placed limitation.
Jesus charged angrily at the grave of Lazarus following their cries only to be confronted with a stone placed by those who buried Lazarus. He refused to command the stone to be lifted supernaturally but commanded those who placed it to remove it before He could operate. The death was a supernatural occurrence but the stone was a human placement.
Many are running around looking for deliverance, miracles and other forms of supernatural intervention without first looking inward to know the stones they have unconsciously placed against their expected miracles.
WHAT ARE THESE STONES?
1. Sin
2. Unforgiveness
3. Envy, anger, jealousy and bitterness.
4. Disobedience to Divine instructions.
5. Seeds of dishonor to constituted authority.
6. Apathy to learning.
7. Wrong strategy.
8. Wrong associations etc.
Jesus has the power to raise your Lazarus but you have a responsibility to remove the stone.
If you can remove the stone, you will discover that the miracle is cheaply available for you.
It’s a new dawn for you and I see you jumping around and people jumping with you in jubilation and celebration because your testimonies are released this week!
