The Moving and Healing Water

 

Text: John 5:3 (KJV)           

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

One thing is certain, man is always confronted with diverse concerns, some may be short termed, while others may be long termed. From our scripture of today, they were impotent folk, which had an infirmity for thirty - eight years. He was helpless and powerless, however, the long period of his infirmity did not hinder his testimony. I do not know how long your case has been, but I tell you, your testimony will definitely locate you, in Jesus name. From our scripture, we can see that a great multitude were laying at the gate, they were waiting for the moving of the water for them to receive their miracles, but an angel of the Lord has to come to trouble the water, and we see whosoever or whatever kind of disease entered the water after the angel had troubled it, would have been made whole. So, this tells us that every day is a miracle day and this is because God daily loads us with benefit. Psalms 68:19- Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.All we just need to do is to be sensitive to our specific day, so that we will not miss our appointed time.

The question is why did he stay for such a long period of time before he got this testimony? I can say, this impotent man had excuses. Many at times, this is the reason why we miss our blessings, we make so many excuses. Although the angel of the Lord had made it easy for them to get their blessings, this man still made excuses. Surprisingly, even Jesus ask him, do you want to get well? He still gave excuses saying, “I have no man” to assist me. Wow!! He had the answer to his problems in front of Him which was JESUS, but he was still looking for man’s help. Thank God for mercy, Jesus finally told him to walk. We need to take a step of faith, so as to walk into our testimonies. We also need to be sensitive to God’s help, so as not to be a hindrance of our own testimony. So, I urge you to have faith today and I pray God will help us to receive our testimonies, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father, please I ask for immediate healing and wholeness in every area of concern in my life, no matter how long it has lasted, in Jesus name..

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, your first action is in taking step and not in making excuses.
