Miracles are surprising events that people often pray for because of the positive effects they bring. An HIV patient for instance prays that one day, the virus will disappear from his blood system. These events do not agree with scientific theories so they are linked to God's intervention in the lives of men. Stories of miracles abound in the Bible where different kinds of individuals were both partakers and beneficiaries of God's divine help.
One of the stories worth mentioning is the healing of the woman with an issue of blood. The woman's blood flowed continuously for twelve years until the day she met Jesus. She just said within herself that all she needed to do was to touch the hem of His garment; and that was all. Her blood flow seized as soon as she took the action.
Another interesting one is the healing of Blind Bartimeus. Bartimeus always begged along the street until one day he heard Jesus was passing by. Even though he had not met Jesus personally before then, he had heard so many things about Him. This prompted him to shout with a loud voice asking Jesus to have mercy on him. In the end, he received his sight for the first time since his birth.
The demon possessed man who said his name was legion was also cured by Jesus. On seeing him from afar, he ran to him and bowed down. This man had been rejected by his people because he often caused havoc and broke off chains that were used to hold him. Jesus took care of him and sent the demons to a swine.
Again, the disciples looked afar off and saw Jesus walking on the sea to meet them in the boat. Simon Peter asked Him to bid him come if He was the one and Jesus told him to come along. Jesus walked on water to make his disciples know that nothing was impossible for them if they looked unto him.
Another miracle is the feeding of five thousand men with few slices of bread and two fish. This happened after Jesus taught the crowd and felt the need to feed them before letting them go. There was nothing around except five loaves of bread and two fish which were found in the hands of a little boy in the crowd. Jesus used this to feed the multitude and there were 12 baskets remaining.
There are also stories of resurrection from the dead. One of such stories is the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead, after he had been buried for four days. Jesus purposely refused going to see his friend, Lazarus, when he was told of the state of his health because he wanted God's name to be praised by the outcome.
There are many other stories of miracles in the Old Testament. Miracles such as the departure of the Israelites through the Red Sea, God's creation with spoken words, the fall of Jericho's walls and the healing of Naaman in 2 Kings 5:14 are there in the Bible. These stories are indelible and they are meant to encourage everyone who is in dire need of supernatural help from God.
