Embracing Foolishness: The Key to Unlocking Miracles
In a world that values wisdom and intelligence, it’s easy to get caught up in our own self-importance. But what if we’re called to be fools for God? As 1 Corinthians 3:18 reminds us, “If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a ‘fool’ so that he may become wise.”
A Ministry of Miracles
Roland and Heidi Baker’s ministry to the poorest of the poor in Mozambique is a testament to the power of faith and commitment. In their book “There’s Always Enough”, they share stories of God’s miraculous provision in the face of overwhelming need. From raising the dead to providing for the most basic needs, their ministry is a beacon of hope in a desperate world.
The Power of Unwavering Faith
One story in particular stands out: a pastor who prayed through the night, non-stop, until the person he was praying for showed signs of life. This level of commitment is awe-inspiring, and it raises important questions. Am I willing to stick with it, even when it seems foolish, in order to see a miracle? Am I willing to appear absolutely foolish for God?
Reflecting on Our Own Commitment
Where do you need a breakthrough or miracle in your life? What are you willing to do to get it? Are you willing to pray through the night, to fast, to sacrifice, or to take a leap of faith? Or are you holding back, afraid of looking foolish or failing?
Stepping Out in Faith
It’s time to re-examine our priorities and our commitment to God. Are we willing to become fools for Him, to trust in His power and provision, even when it doesn’t make sense? The answer to this question could be the key to unlocking miracles in our lives and in the lives of those around us.
