Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
LUKE 7:12-15
JESUS arrived the city of Nain with His disciples and multitudes of people. When they got close to the gate of the city, they met a funeral procession. A widow had just lost her only son, her only hope. For her, there was nothing left to live for; everything that made life meaningful had been taken away from her by the sting of death. Life was officially over for her.
It does not matter the case, that there is no hope in sight does not mean the situation is hopeless. That everybody says there is no way does not mean there is no way, even if it is one second to go, something can still happen; even when the final whistle has been blown, something can still happen. Even when they say it is over, something can still happen. Even when you hear them say things like “Let’s accept it as fate, maybe that is the way God wanted it”, a thousand times NO! Many times, that is not the way God wanted it, it is the way unbelief has allowed it. When JESUS saw the corpse, He knew that the case was for signs and wonders and so He went on and performed the miracle of raising the dead man to life – Isaiah 8:18.
Have you found yourself in impossible situations that made you ask this question. “How come my things are always like this?” It is simply because you are for the extra-ordinary; you are for signs and for wonders. Until you are face to face with impossibility, you don’t have the opportunity to manifest the God of all possibilities. Every white chalk needs a blackboard to shine, so when you have the impossibility, it is an opportunity for a sign and a wonder to shine.
