READ: Mark 6:53-56
And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea,… – Mark 6:47-48
What awesome power was available in the sixth chapter of Mark! The whole region heard of Jesus and began to carry sick people on their beds to seek Jesus. Imagine the sick being lined up on the streets so that your shadow or the border of your garment would touch them. Amazing displays of miraculous power of healing took place even without any prayer or laying on of hands.
And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, THEY LAID THE SICK IN THE STREETS, AND BESOUGHT HIM THAT THEY MIGHT TOUCH IF IT WERE BUT THE BORDER OF HIS GARMENT: AND AS MANY AS TOUCHED HIM WERE MADE WHOLE. Mark 6:56
Jesus went on to walk on water when He left His hometown. …: and ABOUT THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT HE COMETH UNTO THEM, WALKING UPON THE SEA, … Mark 6:48
Walking on water is one of the greatest demonstrations of miracle power ever known to man. Walking on water is almost as significant as raising the dead. It is simply something that is impossible to human beings. All these fantastic displays of power were not possible when Jesus was dishonoured in His hometown. In His hometown, He did not perform any amazing feats. (Mark 6:2-6)
Do not expect to experience the power of God where you are dishonoured. It is where people respect you that you will see the greatness of your ministry. That is where you will see the dew of heaven and the fatness of the earth.
