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.

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...
