You shall see greater things then these.

“…………….thou shalt see greater things than these. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man” (John 1: 51)

Nathaniel came to conclusion that the man who knows the heart of a man is really Messiah. It was not so easy for a Jew to accept the fact though he first doubted about good things coming out of Nazareth, but suddenly when he came into the personal conversation with Jesus, he reached in a conclusion that He is King of Israel, He is the son of Living God.

Personal fellowship with God is very important in Christian life. Through your personal fellowship you will come to deep relationship with Jesus and as deep as your relationship goes, you will come to realize who Jesus is. Fellowship shares the heart of one to another. As strong fellowship we do with Jesus, we will know more the heart of God.

This is exactly what happened to Nathaniel too. First he had little doubt because he heard that Jesus was from Nazareth. He had doubt how can Messiah come out of Nazareth. But as he started personal fellowship with Jesus suddenly all the doubts turned into the strong confidence and he confessed that Jesus is King of Israel and Son of God. In personal relationship and fellowship with Jesus, he came to realize the heart of Jesus and that led him to know who Jesus is.

Today, it is the sad fact that most of the Christians have very good knowledge about Jesus, but there is no personal relationship with him. Sadly, even many ministers of the word are without the experience of meeting Jesus face to face in their spiritual life. Because of that, the body of Christ today is turning as the Religious club rather then the fountain of Blessing to the nations of the world.

Nathaniel came through the personal fellowship with Jesus, and through his personal relationship with Jesus, he came to who Jesus is. All his doubts came to an end and new faith raised up in Christ and his deity through his personal relationship with Jesus.

Because of the personal relationship with Jesus, the new prophetic world came into the life of Nathaniel through Jesus. He prophesied for Nathaniel and much more greater things that God was going to reveal him in the days to come. Jesus prophesied for him, I say unto you, “Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man”.

Because of our personal relationship with Jesus, the prophetical words come for us. The prophecy of greater things that God is going to show, the greater blessing God is going to give and greater revival God is going to send.

Today if we committed ourselves to God, it is the prophetic word of God even today for us, God is going to show us greater things. If you believe today in His words, the Lord is going to show you greater promises, the promise of blessing on the lives of believers, the promise of revival in the lives of Church. Visionary leaders will come out of body of Christ, men and women will rise up with the gospel, the nations of the world will be evangelized. Sinners shall be saved, nations shall be turned to Christ and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is the Lord.

Let us stand together today for Jesus. Let us hold the promises of God for us. Let us have complete faith and faith alone in Christ Jesus our Lord. Let us keep aside all our theologies, doctrines and traditions. Let us rely completely upon the Word of God, His promises and His Prophecies. The fire of revival will be spread out the world and nations shall be revived to receive Christ our Lord.

Let us hold our faith steadfastly in order to see the greater things in our lives and in the life of the Church of Almighty.
