Miracle still happens! This is because God is immutable, He does not
change but He changes things through his supernatural intervention in
the affairs of men. Miracles are the manifestations of the presence and
power of God; a demonstration of his love and care for his people . I believe
in micacle!
Yes! I believe, because l myself, my life is full of miracles. That’s why l am happy,
convinced and persuaded to comment on this book of testimonies, written by
my own husband of more than four decades – Ambassador, Pastor Lawrence
Olufemi ( Ph D). Truthfully brethren, we are serving the God of miracles signs
and wonders.
What is a miracle? It is the divine intervention of the Most High God in the
affairs of men for deliverance, breakthrough, defense, provision and protection
.Miracle signs and wonders confirm the existence of the Living God. It is also a
pointer to the excellency and the supremacy of Eternal, invincible God over
Satan, sin, the world, darkness and everything that wants to exalts itself against
the knowledge of the Most High God.
The writer of this spiritual memoir and prayerful devotional, has given us
several examples of miracles, signs and wonders in the Bible, and in the
lives of human beings who believed God and have experienced miracles,
signs and wonders in their lives, families and nations.We should emulate
these men and women of faith, and trust God in the time of trouble, to
experience the benevolence of the God of miracles signs and wonders.
God is still performing miracles, signs and wonders to convince and convict
unbelievers. The Lord Jesus said unless people see signs and wonders which are
synonyms of miracle, they may not believe. God is the Omnipotent One, there is
nothing He cannot do, with Him all things are possible. The dead are still being
raised, the lame are working, the blind are seeing, the impossible are becoming
possible and the irreversible are being reversed – the so-called barren are
becoming mothers of many children by grace through faith in God.
These testimonies are written so that you may believe God and trust in
Him for his divine intervention in every area of your own life that requires
his attention. Miracles still happen, God is still performing signs and wonders
today. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. To enjoy divine
xix
touch you must reach out in faith to God. Have faith in God, live holy, love God
and do his commandments, you too will enjoy miracles sign and wonder and
you will testify, in the name of Jesus. Amen. God of miracles signs and wonders,
He has done it before and He will do it again, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“Ah, Lord God, it is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great
power and by your outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”- Jeremiah
32:17 . This verse reminds us of God’s omnipotence and His ability to accomplish
His purposes in our lives and in the world. It encourages us to place our trust in
Him, knowing that He is capable of doing what seems impossible to us. Have
faith in God. He never fails. God of signs and wonders must prevail.
I commend this book for all and sundry, faith in God will always provoke
supernatural intervention. Thank you Pastor Lawrence for writing down these
signs and wonders of God in the past and in the present, in a book. The
accompany devotion and prayers will attract divine attention. Most of these
testimonies you shared have been going from mouth to mouth for
sometime. It is good that you have penned it down for the benefits of
generations yet unborn. It will produce and increase faith in God among his
people. Unbelievers will read this book and believe in God by grace through faith
in Christ Jesus, in the name of Jesus. It is written, the just shall live by faith. May
we all live by faith in God, and continue to enjoy his miracles, signs and
wonders here on earth, till we see Him in glory, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Signs and Wonders of God in our time-Modern Miracles from Nigeria
by Lawrence Olufemi Obisakin: South West Nigeria,2024, Signs and
Wonders, both Biblically and in our day in day out activities can not be
overlooked or pushed aside. All we need to enjoy these free gifts from God in
our lives is to have faith, pray fervently without ceasing, practice holiness, seek
for and have the comforter the Holy Spirit of God.
Going through the list of signs and Wonders in the Bible and those given by the
author, we can see the wonders of God manifest, and it is written in
Mk.16v17&18.
To enjoy the promises of God in Mk.16a, and avoid the damnation in verse 16b,
submit yourself in totality to the ways of God by asking (through prayers)
sacrificing (through fasting) receiving His comforter (Holy Spirit of God)
walking in His ways(Holiness)
God the Holy Spirit: The Mystery of Christianity (Copy)
Original price was: $13.18.$6.59Current price is: $6.59.When we speak or write about the Holy spirit, we are talking about:
- Inspiration, breath of God into our life that made men and women, a living soul, first as in Gen 2:7.
- Empowerment of disciples as Jesus did again to them in,
- And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
John 20:22.
- A change in tongues in communication technology. With the Holy spirit in you, you begin to speak in tongues as initial physical sign. See Acts 2:4
- Speaking mysteries. You begin to operate at a divine or super human level of anointing. See 1 Corinthians 14:2
- Receiving exousia power that grants you immunity from satanic attacks as in Luke 10:19
- Receiving dunamis power as accredited representative of God. It is about power to be carrier of God. A kind of ‘theotokos’. See Acts 1:8
- Getting the power and inspiration to turn the world right side up. See Acts 17:6
With the presence of Holy spirit in Christians, they become ‘power-packed’ and so they are too dangerous to be messed with by worldly or satanic powers. We are talking about the type of power that moved Elijah, Elisha, Paul and even our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
You need the Holy spirit in you to do exploits, for divine or God-inspired promotion
I agree with my General overseer when he and late Gomba Fortunatus Oyor said jointly in their book‘Let God promote you. Samuel declared in, 1Sa 12:6 And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt’.
Pastor Adeboye and Gomba Oyor further said,‘when God is the one promoting you, He promotes you everlastingly’. A. ADEBOYE and Gomba Oyor
In The God of Advancement, (Ibadan: Freedom Press, 2015), 4.
Even when God is inspiring you, there are certain actions expected of you as human being. Even when Christ by his word commanded lazarus to come forth, He still asked human beings to “loose lazarus and let him go!” see John 11:44
‘The problem with many of us is that when we have dreams, we do not make deliberate efforts to keep the dreams we have had alive. Many of us have dreams but give up on our dreams so soon. Joseph Jacob was not like that; he had dreams and kept his dreams alive in Genesis 37:4-11’1.( (E. A. Adeboye and Gomba Oyor, 2015),88.
