Let me start by saying, I believe in miracles. I believe God can intervene in the affairs of men. But as beautiful as miracle might be, life was not meant to be governed by miracles. Life is meant to be governed by principles. There are basic principles of life that when obeyed and put into practice things begins to work in your favor.
Life is meant to be 98 percent principles and 2 percent miracles. But unfortunately, most believers today, especially African Christians have abandoned the 98% principles of life in chasing the 2% miracle. Little wonder the continent is at the level it is today. We have not lived life based on the principles that govern life.
It is only in Africa you see people going to fasting and prayers for financial breakthrough and believing God for a miracle and yet are not ready to work. Some will sow seed to be a millionaire in a year’s time, while they do not have a job, business or any tangible product or services they are rendering.
Everything in life has to be spiritual for this set of people. This is ignorance at its peak I must say. I once head of a diabetic patient who had a diabetic foot ulcer that was degenerating. Instead of the family taking this man to the hospital for proper treatment, they decided to take him to church saying that it was a spiritual matter. They left this man in the church for months and were praying until the sore deteriorated so badly that he lost his whole leg and almost lost his life before they took him to the hospital.
People have totally lost their minds because they have refused to put their brains to work. They want something for nothing and the easy way out. That is the main reason why these fake pastors are able to take advantage of their greed and laziness. How else will you explain a pastor telling his members to eat grass and they eat. People are ready to do anything to get a miracle rather than follow the principles of life.
God has given us all that pertains to life and a brain to put to active service to Him and humanity at large. God will not do for you what you can do for yourself. So fold your sleeves and get to work. Stop running after men of God for miracles. Everything you need to succeed in life is in you. When you have done all you can, when you have used all the resources God has given to you, when you have gone the extra mile only then do you qualify for a miracle. Because when you do all you can, then God will do for you what you cannot do.
If you will rather push your responsibility to God by not working but rather praying for a miracle, be ready for a life of perpetual poverty. For how long do you want to run from church to church, from one prophet to another? Wake up from that slumber my friend and begin to apply the principles of life to your daily living and you will begin to see results.
Don’t let anyone deceive you. You cannot live all your life depending on miracles, except you want to be a failure in life. Why? You might ask. Because God did not create life to be lived on miracles but on principles and He will not change His principles just to suit you. So if you want to live a successful and fulfilled life, pursue principles not miracles. Get your brains to work, and you will be embraced by success.
