Topic : Take Your Miracle

Memory Verse :John 5:7. Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

Bible Reading : John 5:5-7 GNB. Key Verse : v6.

A man was there who had been ill for 38 years. Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been ill for such a long time; so he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.”

One thing I love about Jesus Christ is that anywhere he entered, he turned things around in the lives of men for good. The Bible said that he went about changing negative stories to positive ones (doing good), simply because God was with him or he was standing in the centre of the will of God for his life. This particular season was festival period, so many people came around in Jerusalem for festivities. Jesus himself came for this particular man who had been under the yoke of paralysis for as long as 38 years. “After this, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a religious festival. Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool with five porches; in Hebrew it is called Bethzatha. A large crowd of sick people were lying in the porches — the blind, the lame, and the paralysed.A man was there who had been ill for 38 years.”
38th years. John 5:1-4.

The first thing that
Jesus tried to deal with when he met this particular man was his perspective. Though he was very close to his miracle, he seemed to have given up hope of ever getting healed, he was living a life of surrender to defeat. He demonstrated submission to reality when he said that he had “no one” who could help him get into the pool anytime the pool was stired since he was handicapped. “Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been ill for such a long time; so he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.””John 5:5-6. At this point, Jesus wanted him to see things differently, not the hopelessness he had ever seen before that particular moment. But he was still being plagued by circumstances, as we can see his response of having no one.

This same Jesus anytime he is discussed as we are doing now, goes to work. Every discussion about what he does activates the manifestation of his physical presence. As many as are reading this who has been under any yoke or burden that have lasted for a long time, probably many years, the same Jesus is looking for you today, if you can see and feel him with your spiritual senses. He is asking you today, do you want to be made whole or can you see yourself healed already? Can you see the changes you desired and prayed for manifesting now? If you can see it with the eyes of faith, you have no business remaining where you used to be. It is time to take your bed and go home to a new life in victory. ‭”But this is what the Lord says: “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.” I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”” Isaiah 49:25-26 NIV.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for coming to my rescue anytime I call upon you. Thank you because no man who put their trust in you will suffer shame. Thank you for taking over prolonged battles on my life and giving me victory now in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Mathew 21:1-17.
