Topic : Get Ready For Your Change.
Memory Verse : Matthew 12:13. Then he said to the man with the paralysed hand, “Stretch out your hand.”He stretched it out, and it became well again, just like the other one.
Bible Reading : Matthew 12:10-12 GNB. Key Verse : v12.
where there was a man who had a paralysed hand. Some people were there who wanted to accuse Jesus of doing wrong, so they asked him, “Is it against our Law to heal on the Sabbath?”Jesus answered, “What if one of you has a sheep and it falls into a deep hole on the Sabbath? Will you not take hold of it and lift it out? And a human being is worth much more than a sheep! So then, our Law does allow us to help someone on the Sabbath.”
God’s investment in man has been enormous from the foundation of the earth. Everything he created was to serve the purpose of man, so that man himself could serve the purpose of God, his creator. Everything was created to provide man an enabling environment to serve God in his lifetime fulfilling his purpose. But man has always misunderstood the ways of God and also tried to be overzealous in his effort to interact with his creator or trying to please him because of misconceptions. Now the Sabbath was a day the Lord God rested after he finished the work of creation and blessed same. Now this rest day was recognised by Jewish laws or the law of Moses as a day when men does no work. When Jesus came with a new dispensation and covenant, there was need for them to embrace the new move of God, but they preferred to stick to what they had known and was used to. They couldn’t even allow his disciples pluck grain from the field to satisfy their hunger on a Sabbath without raising dust against the creator whose purpose the Sabbath was meant to serve.
“Or have you not read in the Law of Moses that every Sabbath the priests in the Temple actually break the Sabbath law, yet they are not guilty? I tell you that there is something here greater than the Temple. The scripture says, ‘It is kindness that I want, not animal sacrifices.’ If you really knew what this means, you would not condemn people who are not guilty; for the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” Jesus left that place and went to a synagogue, where there was a man who had a paralysed hand. Some people were there who wanted to accuse Jesus of doing wrong, so they asked him, “Is it against our Law to heal on the Sabbath?” Matthew 12:5-10. Jesus just came out a confrontation with Pharisees who faulted his disciples act of plucking grain to eat on a Sabbath and entered the Synagogue when he met this man who needed to recover from his paralysed or deformed hand in other to have a good life.
“Then the Pharisees left and made plans to kill Jesus. When Jesus heard about the plot against him, he went away from that place; and large crowds followed him. He healed all those who were ill and gave them orders not to tell others about him.He did this so as to make what God had said through the prophet Isaiah come true: “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, the one I love, and with whom I am pleased. I will send my Spirit upon him, and he will announce my judgement to the nations.” Matthew 12: 14-18. Today the judgement of God is against anything that has been of discomfort in your health, finances, marriage, business and career, family, etc. Jesus came to wipe tears away from the faces of them that weep, he came to restore that which you lost in the past, he came so that you can recover from all forms of deformation, he came to give hope to as many as were hopeless. Whatever you can believe him for is possible today. Mark 9:23.
Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for coming through to rescue, deliver and heal me of every deformities of life. Today let your judgement be opun everything that is working contrary to your plan and purpose for my life. Thank you for giving me a testimony to share in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 15:11-32.
