Inspired meetings are at the heart of everything God does in relation to man on the earth. Inspired meetings expire needs, whether spiritual or physical. We must believe in the power of meetings with all our hearts, and honor the Spirit of same with our presence: spirit, soul and body.
Mark 6:1-6 KJV
And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. [2] And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? [3] Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. [4] But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. [5] And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. [6] And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
Everything written is for our learning, and the narrative above is a great tutorial, in the receipt of divine intervention(s). The statement “And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.”(vs.5) is quiet intriguing as it is instructive. What does it mean, contextually? Was it that Jesus’s anointing didn’t work?Was it that Jesus tried to do mighty works but failed because of their unbelief? What exactly was the act of unbelief, offence and the lack of honour here? Well, if you read it well, and patiently so, paying attention to the details, you will observe that Jesus “could there do no mighty works” not because the anointing did not work, but because the people (His country men) DID NOT COME to the meeting! This is/was the ultimate act of their dishonor, offence and ultimately unbelief.
Since not many came to the meeting, not many miracles were wrought by Jesus. The word “mighty” as used in the narrative has no Greek notation. Its adjectival function is in respect to the quantity of the works(miracles in the Greek), and not the quality. A lot of His kinsmen did not show up. The few that He laid hands on, and healed were of the not so great number that came to the meeting. Hence, He marveled at their unbelief!
Divine Interventions, in whatever context, are now with men. Our presence in the presence(eg, meetings) of these men is a major factor(among others) to the outworkings of same in giving and receiving. Divine interventions are largely products of meetings, whether privately or publicly. Contact is key to divine transmission. Often than not, the presence of reluctance, levity, indifference and laxity towards meetings, is the evidence of the presence of one or more, or all of offence, dishonor and unbelief. Inspired meetings expire needs, whether spiritual or physical. Therefore, I put it to you by the Spirit, that the divine intervention you seek is in a meeting. We must believe in the power of meetings with all our hearts, and honor the Spirit of same with our presence: spirit, soul and body. Therein is the blessings of the blessing; the divine interventions. Amen.
