17^TH , FEBRUARY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 21, Exodus 22, Mark 2:18-27, Mark 3:1-30, Proverbs 5:1-14

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 18:35-43

35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 

36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 

37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 

38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 

41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

MEMORY VERSE:

” Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." – John 8:12

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Darkness is not only the absence of light but also the absence of God.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

I COMMAND THE LIFE OF GOD TO FILL AND PERMEATE EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

The fifth lesson for us in this biblical event is that Bartimaeus' request was just one -- specific, direct, and clear. When he got to Jesus and was asked what he wanted, Bartimaeus did not stammer. His request did not contradict his earlier cry and prayer point. He said, "That I may receive my sight." When you go to God in prayer, always make your request or prayer point specific and clear. As someone put it, "I want to buy blood tonic is not the same as when you specify the particular brand and type you want."

The sixth lesson is that Jesus only spoke and light appeared in the darkness in Bartimaeus' life. Jesus said, "Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole." The Bible affirms that the blind man immediately received his sight! The same Jesus spoke to the storm and it became still. He spoke to death and it released Lazarus. He spoke to demons and they obeyed Him. Beloved, Jesus will speak to any unpleasant situation in your life today (joblessness, financial challenge, marital delay, barrenness, business challenge, health problem, etc) and your miracle will appear, in the name of Jesus.




The seventh is that upon receiving his sight, Bartimaeus followed Christ glorifying God. Beloved, what we do after receiving divine visitation or miracle matters to heaven. Our attitude should be like that of Bartimaeus who was full of gratitude to God. He followed Jesus and made the whole world know the One who turned his life around. He worshiped, praised, and glorified God who turned his night today. This attitude is essential in making our miracles permanent. It will also open the heavens for more miracles in our lives. Bartimaeus' action made all the people also give praise to God. I pray that you will have a life-changing encounter with the Miracle Worker today and all people will glorify God for your sake, in the name of Jesus.

Beloved, the Bible says that the things that are written in the Scripture are for our learning. I encourage you to apply the important lessons drawn from Bartimaeus' life-changing encounter with Jesus to your life. Your joy will be full, in Jesus' name.
