Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 43, Day 3: Tuesday, 24th October, 2023. TOPIC: Lessons from The Blind Bartimaeus. Processing The Information (3)

“47. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”

A blessed day in the name of JESUS as we progress into the day’s activity. Yesterday, we discussed about being sensitive with the moves around us. When we sensed the happenings and get the information, what do we do with the information? Some start seeing the negative side of that news, fear of the unknown creep into their heart about the situation and they jumped into negative conclusion. How do you handle the information you get from others?

Bartimaeus received the information and taught of how it could work in his favour. He knew this Jesus can make him see again and he opted for that. He could have focus on his blindness as a reason not to see Jesus but he trashed that away. 

A short story of two salesmen sent to a country where people walked bare footed. One returned that shoes can’t be patronized there while the other said, it’s the best place to market shoes, it all depends on how you handle the information you get. Many of us had mishandled right information in the past and this has cost us so much. Imitate the Blind Bartimaeus from today on, don’t be negative about all information. Process every information before acting or reacting. 

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
