SIGHT

Text: Mark  10:51
  
So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight."

Sight simply means the ability to see. We shall be looking at this topic from physical and spiritual angle. 

My first desire and prayer is that the Lord will give sight to as many of his children that are at the verge of loosing their sights or that have lost their sights in Jesus name.Amen!

One who has lost his or her sight is one who will not be able to do many things. Hence, many blind people have resolved to begging. This was the case of Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus in our Bible reading. 

He always sit by the highway side begging. In those days, there has not been so much technological advancements as we have it today, hence, anyone who is blind often resolved to begging.

So, we can say that blindness reduces productivity and leads to reliance on another. Physically, this may not be entirely true about all blind people, but it is very true about many blind people.

In the same way, if one is blind spiritually, such  will not be productive as such, he will always be overly reliant on others to give him assistance. Such person is also prone to stumbling even in the day time. 

As a result of technology, many people who are blind have been able to overcome many of the challenges that come with such predicament. It is however unfortunate that there is no spiritual technology to aid those that are blind spiritually. Such ones can only be helped through the healing power of Jesus Christ. 

One who is blind spiritually can only be healed of blindness and there is no tool to help such one except healing in the name of Jesus.

 *Spiritual blindness is that which robs one of spiritual sight and by extension spiritual blessings.* 

 *Give a spiritually blind person like Esau, bread and stew of lentils,and he will sell his birthright.* (Gen 25:29-34).

 *Spiritual blindness is very dangerous because it robs Christians of their inheritance.* 

The first assignment God gave to Paul was to open the eyes of the gentiles. (Acts 26:18).

As a believer, you need to constantly engage  Ephesians 1: 17&18 prayer for sight and illumination:

 _"...that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints..."_ 

 *BIBLE READING* 

Mark 10:46-52.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father open my eyes to see as I ought to see in Jesus name.

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...
