JUST OBEY!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 31-34

TEXT: John 9:1-7

1 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 

2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 

4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 

7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

KEY VERSE: John 9:7

“And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.” -

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Obedience of faith may lack logic but not blessings.

THE MESSAGE:

Someone said, “The hallmark of your faith mentality is preparing yourself for the manifestation of your destiny. Every expected destiny comes in form of opportunity. Those who do not prepare for their opportunity cannot recognise it when it comes.”

The man born blind in our text recognised that his opportunity had come. He must have heard a lot about Jesus as the Healer whose spoken words guaranteed instant miracles. When Jesus decided to “make clay of spittle” and told the man to go and wash in the pool of Siloam, he did not lose hope or begin to complain. Had he done so, he would have missed the opportunity forever!

In doing this to the blind man, Jesus presented the opportunity for him to choose to obey His command to go and wash. There was no medical power in the clay. But there was power in the One who made it. The man obeyed and “came back seeing”. His decision not to argue with Jesus but promptly obey Him brought testimony. There are possibilities that can result in our lives when we obey Jesus’ commands. Many Christians remain in their challenges because they constantly fail to recognise the move of God in their lives. They hope to see God use the same pattern of deliverance or miracles He deployed in resolving other people’s case in their own situation; so, they miss it.

God cannot be forced to intervene in ugly human situations the same way all the time. As God, His ways, methods and timing are perfect. Those who do not follow the instructions of Jesus deprive themselves of needed divine interventions from Him.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
