When did you last walk on water?

Walking on water with Jesus (Image via Reading Acts)

You know we always talk about Peter doubting Jesus when he looked at the winds and the waves and began to sink. Well, we can't be blamed for that really because Jesus said to Peter, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" But recently when I read Matt 14: 26-31, I started to think about the disciples in the boat.

They were in the midst of the storm. They were troubled and when they saw Jesus they thought he was a ghost. When Jesus reassured them that it was him, they just sat back. There are times when I've just sat back in the midst of a storm and watched Jesus come and calm the storm. But there've also been times when I've walked on water in the midst of the storm, like Peter.

Peter saw an opportunity for an amazing act of God in the storm. He caused Jesus to do for him what Jesus didn't do for the other disciples.

We can use our storms to be just another testimony of God's faithfulness and Him coming to our rescue or we can demonstrate faith in our storms and make people around us go, "That surely is an act of God."

We're living in Revival

I'm back to blogging after a very long time... but here's a little something that I hope will bless your heart.

The Bible talks about Seth (Adam and Eve's third son) being 'appointed'. But why was Seth's line so special? Well, Genesis 4: 25b tells says, "For God has appointed another seed for me (that is Eve) instead of Abel, whom Cain killed." We too, are of a NEW line in Jesus.

The NEW line of Seth was clearly blessed (as we are) because we read in vs 26 - And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD. They began to call on the name of Yahweh!

I believe that this was the first revival in the Bible. Men began to turn from their sinful ways and call on the name of the LORD. They began to be saved.

You'd think there must have been something special about Enosh because the Bible mentions this revival in conjunction with his name, right? But interestingly enough, Enosh means the frailty or weakness of mankind and we all know how names in the Bible are really synonymous with the person's character (remember Jacob the supplanter). Enosh wasn't this mighty leader or anything but he recognised how frail he was before the Almighty God. That's the key to revival.

I think if we are to see revival in our land, we have to realise that it's not about us. It's about the Almighty God. We don't have to prove our might or strength. All we have to do is lift the name of JESUS higher and He has promised to draw all men unto Him - John 12: 32
