Last Friday during our Home Group Fellowship (HGF) Elder Baru Tai share to us regarding God’s presence exists in our life. We study from John 6:15-21 where Jesus and His disciple on the boat while a strong wind was blowing, and the sea was getting rough (v18). If we read the whole chapter, Jesus is walking on the water, and He calms the sea. After He calm the sea, we know that Peter want to know if what He saw is Jesus or Ghost walking on the water (Matt 14:28).
Most of us know about this song and what we understand us our life is like that ship and the wave or the rough sea and the wind that blow is just like a problem in our life.
Let’s see other verse, “Joh 6:21 then they willingly received Him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.” What we understand from this bible translation is that the disciples willingly received Him into the ship, BUT the already land whither they went!! In verse 19 says that they had rowed about three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat. They became terrified. Just imagine, you just rowed about few kilometers but when JESUS enter you boat, suddenly you reach your destination. Wouldn’t it great?!
Another reference we learnt is in 1 King 18: 41-46. Elijah was on the top of Mount Carmel and his servant is checking up by looking to the sea if there is any sign of a rain. The servant has to check the rain for seven times. On the seven times than He have the sign of rainy day. When there is a sign, Elijah asks the servant to go to Ahab and tell Ahab to make a move with his CHARIOT (v44) (My friend call it Ferrari, a traditional and probably first version of it). So Ahab rode on the CHARIOT and makes his way to Jezreel.
The best part is this, in verse 46 and the hand of the LORD was on Elijah, and he gathered up his garment and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. Isn’t it amazing!!! Elijah bypasses Ahab who is already on the chariot!
What we want to learn here is that, in 1 King 18 and John 6 whenever the hand of God upon us or God’s presence in our live or Jesus is invited willingly in our life; miracle happen in our life!! Miracle will happen to us in whatever we want to do, as long as there is God!!
Isn’t its amazing God promise to us? Wonderful!! So if we expect miracle in our life, make sure God’s presence exist in our life, God’s hand is upon us and we receive God willingly in our life. Wonderful!!
