Myopic Believer

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” - John 5:6-7

There is this story of a man in the Bible, John 15:1-15.  This man has an infirmity for 38 years. But there is some thing that struck me while mediating on this man story. He was regularly present at the 'healing pool' because he believe that is it where his healing can come from. He was so used to the pool that when Jesus wanted to heal him, he was still like, some one got to put him into their pool. 

I realise so many folks are like that, they are so myopic and narrow minded. Its obvious the man at the pool doesn't that God can heal him anytime and anywhere.
Most times, we limited the scope of our breakthrough because if how we belittle what God can do for us. If Jesus hasn't come to that pool side. Probably, the man could die with his infirmity. 

God has so many ways to reach out to us. Don't just believe there is only one specific method for God to heal you. Some get healed through handkerchief, some get healed through laying of hands, sone get helped through the anointing oil. God is a God of varieties.

Don't be stucked in one perceptive like that man by the pool side. Be open to what God will  do and how He will do it.

Lazarus was dead and Mary and Martha had him buried already, Jesus came to raise him up, Mary couldn't grab what Jesus want to do as she Simply believes, Lazarus is dead and will only rise on the last day. She couldn't fathom that Lazarus can and will be raised from dead In her own very presence. 

We serve a very big a and mighty God who can do great things. But the things God can do in and for you is beyond imagination. Stop Limiting yourself to the greatness of God. Don't be a myopic believer (a short sighted believer).

Good Morning and do have a great Wednesday.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
