THE SIGNS OF BELIEVERS

Exodus 4:8 ERV "Then God said, “If the people don’t believe you when you use your walking stick, then they will believe you when you show them this sign."

The initial reaction of a lot of people, including Christians, to a man sent by God is to doubt him. They become skeptical, they ask you how you heard God, why you think God actually spoke to you, what your true intentions are, etc. Especially those who knew you before your calling; your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours, they are usually the last to believe you.

Signs are given so that men would believe. Apostle Paul said to the Corinthians, "When I was with you, I patiently did the things that prove I am an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles." 2 Corinthians 12:12. Signs are a proof to those you have been sent to that God is with you. That's why Elijah said to the captain, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and destroy you and your 50 men!” That was a sign to the king.

Jesus said, "And the people who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force demons out of people. They will speak in languages they never learned. If they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be hurt. They will lay their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:17-18. Hallelujah!
