By redemption, the believer is ordained to enjoy the life of signs and wonders Isa. 8:18; Mk. 16:17. An individual at the point of experiencing salvation through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is translated from a mere person existing only in the physical world, into a spirit being with capacity to command the supernatural Col. 1:13-14. This translation is what initiates the believer into the world of signs and wonders.

What are Signs and Wonders?

Signs and wonders are the experiences that cannot be explained with natural, scientific, and human understanding, yet cannot be denied by men.

This order of life is what the believer has been introduced into by new birth; where his finance, health and everything about his life cannot be explained by men but cannot also be denied by them.

Scriptural Requirement for the Life of Signs and Wonders.

Every provision of God has the demand(s) to access it Deut. 28:1-2. For the life of signs and wonders, scriptures make us to understand that the commitment to kingdom advancement endeavours is the requirement. In essence, it is only believers who are committed to the pursuit of the advancement of God’s kingdom and church growth in prayer, soul winning and financial investment for the establishment of converts that will experience the life of signs and wonders in reality.

To anyone reading this that will love to give his/her life to Christ, pray this prayer out loud with me from your heart: “Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me my sins; wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me, on the third day you rose again that I may be justified. Right now, I believe that my sins are forgiven; I’m justified by your blood; I’m born-again; I’m saved; I’m a child of God; I’m free from the power of sin to serve the living God. Thank you Jesus for receiving me; thank you Jesus for restoring me; thank you Jesus for saving me.”

Prayer.

Father, in the name of Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, empower my decision to pursue the advancement of your kingdom tirelessly to the end Acts 1:8.
