Chozizwa (A Sign) Lyrics

An evil and faithless generation seeks a sign

But no greater sign remains than Jesus, the ultimate sign

I am guessing that media outlets are weary

Of promoting fake miracle gatherings

For when we request that you validate your miraculous claims

No single person allegedly healed by you ever comes forward

Your testimonies are stories fabricated by your scheme of deception

Where's the person born with physical defects

Who ended up being miraculously healed by you

Let's have his healing verified by medical experts

Let him come forward for the examination

Let him also bring along at least one of his witnesses

When I was a student at the University of Malawi, Chancellor College

Our campus hosted many famous preachers in Malawi

Most of these men claim they have the power to perform miracles

However, no single student born with physical challenges

Ever got healed by any of these so-called men of God

These students, blind and unable to walk

Graduated just as they came

Where's the preacher with the power to perform signs and wonders

Is he blind to people in our cities who need his abilities

What exactly are we seeking

If Jesus Christ is not sufficient

We have no hope

For no sign remains greater than him

Let's seek first the kingdom of God

May Christ be our primary treasure

For only he can truly satisfy us

El Shaddai is no less powerful today than in the days of old

He hasn't ceased from answering our prayers

How come then we don't experience miracles

Like in the days of the Apostles

Well, the answer lies in the question

The period of the Early Church is not quite the same as now

For one, at that time

God was still giving his people direct revelation

Scripture was still in the process of being written

Therefore, God did many signs and wonders through the Apostles

To validate them as his heaven-sent messengers

Whereas we have the complete Canon

We're able to identify God's true servants through God's Word

Hence, we don't experience as many miracles as in past times

Toward the end of his ministry

Paul charged Timothy to ground his ministry on Scripture

He exhorted him that every minister is complete

Equipped for every good work with God's Word

Paul's emphasis was not on miracles

Romans one:16 says that the Gospel is the power of God

May this sink deep in your heart

The Gospel is the power of God

Unfortunately, most of us are superstitious

We have itching ears

We're busy accumulating teachers to suit our passions

And yet, Jesus Christ is sufficient

If he pleases

The Almighty God can do signs and wonders

However, most of the miracles we're witnessing today are fake

And may you not forget this

Not every miracle performer is God's servant

An evil and faithless generation seeks for a sign

But no greater sign remains than Jesus, the ultimate sign
