MONDAY 14TH MAY, 2018 MORNING PRAYER DEVOTION
SCRIPTURE READING:– JOHN 9:1-38
TOPIC:- YOU ARE NO MORE BLIND [2]
TEXT:- JOHN 12:40
The Healing Of A Man Born Blind, [Our Case Study]:
1. Of the five senses in the human body, our sight may be the most important to us. Someone wrote from the U.S. that people goes blind every 20 minutes. What a sad statistic that is.
2. There is a man mentioned in John 9 who was born blind, but when Jesus arrived on the scene, this blind man’s life drastically changed. Not only would he see with his eyes, but he would also come to a clear spiritual view of Christ.
3. We will see just how this man came to see Jesus for who He truly is, [the Christ, the Son of God].
4. We have all had to accept the fact that, while we are alive, we are also dying. This is one reason why we are so concerned about our physical health. When something goes wrong, we quickly seek out someone to help us. We generally look for a natural or medicinal means to treat our physical ailments, but in the Word of God we learn of a healing that is divine.
5. A type of healing where God is totally and directly involved. This is the kind of healing Jesus did! Yes, our Lord performed miracles in order to meet human needs, but He also used them as a means to confirm the Truth of the words He spoke. His miracles were His “credential” to prove that He was indeed the Messiah, John 20:30-31.
6. The miracle in John chapter nine sets the tone for two important lessons Jesus wanted to teach:
a. First, there is a lesson on the nature of spiritual blindness, Luke 9:39-41.
b. Second, He issues a warning about false spiritual shepherds, Luke 10:1-18.
7. The blind man makes an astute Biblical observation: “Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind,” John 9:32.
8. This is a true statement, search your Bibles. It seems that restoring sight to the blind was strictly the work of Jesus Christ, Isaiah 29:18; 42:6.
9. John chapter nine is a powerful illustration and confirmation of Jesus claim, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life,” John 8:12.
Prayer Points:-
1. I command you spirit of blindness, come out of my life now by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. O Lord God, open my spiritual eye to see beyond the physical henceforth, in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. O Lord God, heal my eyes problem now by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Glorious Monday!
