ONE THING I KNOW

Text : Joh 9:25

He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, before I was blind, now I see.* 

The story was told about a man who was blind from birth. He had lived in darkness all his life. Because of his condition, he had lived a beggarly life, always at the mercy of the unmerciful people.

One fateful day, God decided to change his estate. He had an encounter with Jesus and his story changed. His eyes were opened and he could move about freely and fend for himself without being beggarly. You would think people will rejoice with him. But NO! 

Typically, people prefer to pity your sorry state than rejoice with you when your story changed for the better. 

People will rather give you 'peanuts help' and leave you in your downtrodden state, than see you lead a victorious life. 

Such was the case of this blind man. Instead of rejoicing with him that a great miracle had happened to him,they rather chose to question his recovery and miracle till the "authority " got wind of it. John 9:8-13.

These religious bigots(the Pharisees) called this man for questioning with the aim of despising the miracle of God in his life. After much Ado, the one time blind man declared "One thing I know is that, I was once blind, but now I" see. 

Just as this blind man got a transformation and miracle that brought him an experiential knowledge of God's power, so also when the Lord transforms your life and situation, there will be many debates, gossips and bickering around your life. Many would doubt and disregard the great change, but one thing always stands out for you- "What You KNOW, you KNOW"

 *WHAT DO YOU KNOW?* 

 *HAVE YOU ANY ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS?

 *WHAT HAS YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS DONE IN YOUR LIFE?* 

 *CAN YOU SAY WITH ASSURANCE THAT ONCE YOU WERE BLIND BUT NOW YOU SEE?* 

A true encounter with Jesus will bring about a lasting positive change in your life. 1 Corinthian 5:17.

My prayer for you this year is that the Lord will bring you into an experience and knowledge that will transform your life in a very vivid way.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you. 

2. Restore unto me the Joy of your salvation and renew right Spirit within me. PS. 51:12.

Bible reading: John. 9:1-41.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
