TEXT: Matthew 21:14
*Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.*
*When the presence of God is right in the midst of His people, salvation, healing and deliverance become imminent.*
Jesus Christ, having shut down the merchandising activities in the temple, the blind and the lame came to him and they were healed.
The scripture is quite intentional in specifically recording these two kinds of infirmities amongst others.
Before the arrival of Jesus in the temple, the temple had become a den of thieves, it was no longer a house of prayer. A “den of thieves” is a place where people who steal or cheat gather, hide, or operate from.
So, what Jesus was saying in essence is that, the place where people ought to gain access to God has now become a place where corrupt people hide and operate from. The synagogue leaders, under the disguise of worship and sacrifice, were simply extorting the people.
That's the same problem within the church today. Many false and unstable leaders take advantage of the innocent, ignorant and unstable seekers while in search of solutions to their problems or while seeking the LORD.
This is the reason Jesus healed the blind and the lame who came to him in the temple. He wanted to teach us a fundamental lesson. These blind and lame had always been around the temple, but their problems had remained. So, they kept on worshipping God without sight and mobility.
While the blind are those who cannot see what the will of God is, the lame are those who cannot walk in the will of God.
Seeing and walking in the will of God will keep you away from many deceivers and pits. Hence, when you are coming into the house of prayer, the first miracle Jesus will like to perform in your life is for you to gain your sight and mobility. This means the ability to see God and to walk in God's will. Once you are able to see spiritually and journey with the Lord. No one will be able to deceive you again.
The first encounter Jacob had gave him sight and mobility. He saw the ladder reaching the top of heaven from the earth, and he thereafter walked with the Lord. His life never remained the same again after that encounter. (Genesis 28:12-22).
As a believer, you won't be able to participate in fellowship in the house of prayer if you are unable to see God and walk in his will.
*Effective prayer is born out of understanding of God's will and ability to walk in the same.*
May the Lord open your eyes and strengthen your feeble knees in Jesus name.
*BIBLE READING:*
Matthew 21: 12-14.
*PRAYER FOCUS*
Father Lord, please open my eyes and strengthen my feeble knees in Jesus name.
