(Fourth part)
Memory verse (Matt9: 36): “ But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd ”.
Whenever Jesus looked at hurting humanity, fire used to burn within his heart. He would become restless within his heart. He was moved with compassion for the people. This compassion used to precede the miraculous healings he did for people (Luke 7: 11-15). Jesus met a widow when she had lost the only son she had, when JESUS SAW HER WEEPING, HE HAD COMPASSION ON HER, and Jesus went ahead and raised up her son back to life because of compassion.
Compassion always moves us from the place of indifference and complacency and brings us to a place where we are uncomfortable about people’s troubles. It may be your relative. It may be your friends. It may be anybody you’re come across with a problem, with pain etc. This compassion can give birth to deep groaning of intercession (Rom8: 26-27). This intercession can cause God to intervene in that person problem and the miracle occurs. To Jesus, whenever this compassion rose in his heart, God’s power for miracles began to flow and healing followed. Spiritual compassion releases God’s power. And God’s power produces God’s miraculous works.
If you desire to do the works of God, then allow God’s love to consume your life. Paul said of it this way, the love of God constrains us (2Cor5: 14). When your life is full of God ‘s love, it compels you, it stirs you up, and it drives you whenever you think about the hurting people. And the Holy Spirit who dwells in us pours this love of God into our lives. To receive GOD’S LOVE WE NEED TO BE BAPTISED WITH THE Holy Spirit (Rom5: 5). And to activate this love and cause it grow, we need to keep praying in the Spirit more and more. When God’s love overwhelms your life, miracles will flow in your ministry and life. The world is hurting all around us and we need our hearts to be baptized in God’s love and we will see people in a different way. We won’t sit back and cross our legs but we will be moved to act and God’s power and supernatural provisions will come and we will touch our generation. You won’t be fruitless any more in Jesus name.
