St. John 6:2 And a GREAT multitude followed him, BECAUSE THEY SAW HIS MIRACLES WHICH HE DID ON THEM THAT WERE DISEASED. Acts 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles hands the Holy Ghost was given, HE OFFERED THEM MONEY, Acts 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, THY MONEY PERISH WITH THEE, BECAUSE THOU HAST THOUGHT THAT THE GIFT OF GOD MAY BE PURCHASED WITH MONEY. Acts 8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: FOR THY HEART IS NOT RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. Acts 8:22 REPENT therefore of this THY WICKEDNESS, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. Acts 8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the GALL OF BITTERNESS, AND IN THE BOND OF INIQUITY. Isnt it interesting how Jesus NEVER had to say to the multitudes, Hey yall! Gather round because Im about to work a miracle and heal this man, this woman and this child! in order to draw crowds or get a following? Isnt it simply mind-blowing that neither Jesus, nor the apostles ever REQUIRED the people to sow a financial seed into their ministries in order to either get the miracle or sow into them because of the miracle that was rendered? But Jesus simply healed them and then they decided to follow Him once they saw the PROOF of the miracles that came out of His ministry. This is why it is TOTALLY unnecessary to announce ahead of time that you are about to heal someone or work some awesome miracle in order to either draw crowds to your miracle conferences or draw dedicated followers or covenant partners to yourself that are only in that position simply because they sow financially into you. Furthermore, it WASTES TIME to draw these crowds to a miracle conference and set up these grand expectations of receiving a miracle if you cant work the miracle anyway. If your ministry is authentic, then the people that WITNESS these miracles will PUBLISH that information themselves. Senior leaders, if God has TRULY graced you with a strong miracle ministry, then you dont need to make public service announcements about it(or the authenticity of it) by flyer, Facebook, Internet or other media. In fact, the less chatter there is means the more work you are actually accomplishing. All you need to do is go to the place God leads you to and WORK the miracles from a place of GODLY PURPOSE and then crowds will be drawn to you AUTOMATICALLY for the RIGHT REASONS. Your ministry will be PRESENTLY KNOWN and because of this, you will next use that platform of miracles to BRIDGE the miracles with the message of the gospel, compelling the people to believe in Jesus. Miracles SHOULD BE conducted with the intention of producing faith and belief in Jesus Christ, not so that you can self-promote, say how anointed you are or use the miracles as a platform to get attention, self-glory, more speaking engagements or money. And when your motives are UPRIGHT concerning miracle ministry, God will attach to you the right people that will follow your leadership and even help you in this ministry. But you cant just talk about miracles or name drop other historically popular and prestigious miracle ministers that you are either affiliated with now or are walking in the footsteps of(if they are dead) in order to give yourself more credibility or put yourself in a better spotlight in the eyes of the public. You literally have to DEMONSTRATE these miracles by the leading of the Holy Ghost as a powerful agency to aid and assist people in INCREASING their faith and belief in Jesus! NOW WHO IS WILLING TO ATTACH THEIR FAITH TO THE MAKER OF THE MIRACLES AFTER THE MIRACLE IS RENDERED???
