SATURDAY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT ... NO MORE IN THE WAYSIDE ...

SATURDAY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

14.04.2018

READINGS : Matthew 20: 29-34; Mark 10: 46-52; Luke 18: 35-43 

Reading the story of Bartimaeus' miracle of healing, there are two states diametrically opposed. When he was blind, the Bible said that he was begging and was sitting by the roadside. We read that in Mark 10:46

"And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging."

When he received his miracle and recovered his sight, the Bible said he left the side of the road and followed Jesus in the path. 

We read this in Mark 10:53

"And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way." 

Like BARTIMAEUS,

- I pray the Lord that someone LEAVES THE WAYSIDE and ENTERS IN THE WAY. I pray that someone MOVES OUT OF BLINDNESS and RECOVER HIS SIGHT.

- I pray the Lord that someone stop being an observer of others' progress and become an actor of his own progress

- I pray that someone leaves the wayside which is a place where the devil steals the seed of the Word from the heart and leaves one empty and barren.

- I pray that someone stops watching others going ahead while he/she stays in the same place.

- I pray that someone will move from the state of begging to the state of prosperity.

- I pray that someone will stop being voiceless and start being a voice that will be heard in the land.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST !

JESUS IS LORD !
