Prayer before the Word:
_O God, I worship You in the highest. Help me to know and serve You better as I study Your word today in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Signatures of Christ
Text: Mark 16: 14-20 (NIV Bible)
"16:14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
16:20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it."
*SHOWER:*
Signatures are official signs or trademarks identifying people. Once you see them you will agree that these are surely or definitely from Mr A or Mr B. It could also be doctored. In today's scripture Jesus Christ after appearing to the eleven told them to go and preach the good news to the world, assuring that some signs would follow them. These signs include dominion or destruction of evil spirits and demons, healings, speaking in tongues and others. These signs were to testify that they are surely children or followers of Christ. However, reverse seemed to be the case in our generation. Most are not seeing the signs again, while some who are performing these appeared to be fake. We must repent and follow the right path to heaven.
