READ: JOHN
9:1-7
Our text
reveals something deep and refreshing. The importance of today’s lesson is
this: God brings out His best when men think they have done their worst against
you. The devil thought that he had sealed the fate of man who was born blind.
He must have concluded that congenial blindness was an impossibility. God
proved him wrong. Here is a dramatic but a miraculous story: Jesus Christ and
His disciples saw this man who was born blind and the disciples asked whether
it was the man that sinned or his ^parents. Jesus Christ said that neither the
man nor his parents sinned but his blindness was for the works of God to be
glorified in him. There is another example in John 5:1-9. There was this man by
the pool of Bethesda who could not enter the water to be healed. He had been trying
to jump into the pool without any success because there was no one to help him.
One day, Jesus came by and went straight to this man and asked whether he
wanted to be made whole. The man thought that the best that Jesus could do was
to throw him into the pool. Jesus Christ told him to rise, take his bed and go
home. There is also the story of Daniel in Daniel 6. The enemy focussed on him
and wanted to get rid of him. They took him and threw him into the lions’ den,
thinking they had got rid of him. The following morning, the one who was
supposedly singled out for destruction was brought alive. All those ho plotted
against him and their families became food for the lions. When the enemy thinks
that you are singled out for a problem, the Almighty God will hold you singled
out for a miracle. Never mind what the devil s doing. God is on the throne. He
will perform such outstanding miracle that would be to the eternal shame of the
devil. I pray that God will give you a divine appointment today.
MEMORIZE:
ISAIAH 43:7 –Everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for My
glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.
