“And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, .”Lord, that I might receive my sight”

Beloved of God, as we appear in God’s presence today, may we experience a life changing encounter in Jesus Mighty Name. As continue our teachings on the topic The Blind Bartimaeus, our focus today is “Knowing What You Needs”. This may look small but very important. Many of us thinks our needs are finances or wealth where as our need is what is stopping us from having the opportunity to make money. When King Solomon was asked what he wanted, he went straight with his request, “Wisdom to govern God’s people”, 1 Kings 3:9. What is your need if i may ask you this morning?

Blind Bartimaeus knew his need wasn’t money, nor someone to take him around or a car. He need was, “Lord, that I might receive my sight”. Very precise and short. Our request from God should be summary of all our problems as a whole. Not lengthy or filled with story but straight and direct. May i charge you this morning to identify the real source of your challenge. Many focus on job, help from someone, business while the issue is foundational, spiritual growth, laziness in prayer and many more. Jesus is asking you this morning, “What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? What will your request be? What’s the main issue behind all those predicament around your life? Can you summarised it to God? “That i may see.” “That i may be free from household powers”. “I need wisdom to fulfil purpose”. I need the bone of my bone”. Be specific with what you want God to do for you, He is not interested in too much talk, hit the nail on the head, That i may see.

Good Day and God bless you.

“50. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

Welcome to the weekend edition on our topic, The Blind Bartimaeus. When Jesus sent for him, the scripture said, “And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus” what garment and why casting the garment away? For anyone to walk with Jesus, receive from Him and enjoy him, there are garment meant to be cast away. What are these garment? They are hindrances to reaching God, distractions, things dropped on us by men or by ourselves. The garment of heaviness, Is. 60:3. Garment of down casting, Ps. 42:6. Garment of experience, Luke 5:5. Garment of help of man, Ps. 60:11. Garment of negative imagination, 2 Corinth. 10:4, and many more, these garments need to be do away with.

The blind Bartimaeus identified what needs to be cast away, can you identify that which you need to let go for God to visit you? Jesus is calling many but what we held unto is holding us back from receiving what He has for us. Hebrews 12:1, says,

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” What are those weights to let go?

Good Day and God bless you.

“48. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

49. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.”

Welcome to this beautiful day that the Lord has made, may it be filled with testimony in Jesus name, amen.

Today as we move forward, i like to tell you, “Don’t mind the noise” like Blind Bartimaeus did. When he started shouting at the top of his voice, the crowd bid him to be quiet that the Master can’t hear him. Many saw his request as noise and irrelevant cry and hence discouraged him to be silent but the more they stopped him the more his shouted until Jesus sent for him. Do you know you have to keep praying and crying to God regardless of opposition, man’s talk and discouragement? God listens to persistent cry not just a cry. He said to Moses, i have heard the cry of my people, Exodus 3:7. How often do we persist with our request to God? How often are we discouraged when responses are not forth coming? Do you noticed from the verse, the same people silencing him were the same persons who said, “be of good cheer, the saviour is calling you”. Those who try discouraging you will still come to celebrate with you, if you will remain persistent. Keep asking and quit not for God is still busy with other cases until your cry reaches to Him to stand still, then it will be your turn. Don’t give in to the noise of men, keep crying to God.

Good Day and God bless you.

“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.”

Welcome to a wonderful day beloved of God, as we proceed with our study on The Blind Bartimaeus. Another lesson to learn from this man was calling Jesus by His real name, have you noticed that? Most times Jesus was addressed as the Son of God, son of Mary, Jesus Christ, but Blind Bartimaeus called Jesus differently, meaning he had a pre-knowledge of whom Jesus is. The scripture said he cried out saying, “Jesus, thou Son of David” a wonderful knowledge of whom Jesus is from a blind Man. Our knowledge of whom we speak to determine His response to our cry. Calling Jesus by name, Thou Son Of David, Jesus the Messiah, Jesus The Son Of God, is a way to enhance response to our prayers. When Abraham was on His way to sacrifice His son Isaac, He made the same statement when Isaac made inquiries about the sacrifice, Abraham called God “The Provider”, and God did made the provision, Gen 22:7-8. What you call God determines His speedy response to your request. 

When you pray, what do you call Him? What knowledge of God do you apply when relating with Him? That’s the need of praising God when we pray, to call Him by names which makes Him listen to our request. Who do you know God to be? Relate with Him more than just a God but as Father, Source, Dependant, Saviour, not just what other says but your experience of Him. Blind Bartimaeus attracted Jesus through the knowledge of Jesus’ name.

Good Day and God bless you.

“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.”

Welcome to the continuation of Blind Bartimaeus. Today we move further to Acting positively on your information. After processing the information he got, no body told him Jesus could heal him but He got to know through processing and asking question about who Jesus is and what he has heard about Him. The scripture said, he began to cry out, not knowing Jesus’ location. Many information we got but didn’t applied led many to regrets and self blame. Some got information without sieving it before applying and it destroyed their marriages. Don’t just process the information, apply it with one mind. He cried regardless of the crowd, his blindness and his distance to where Jesus was, until Jesus heard him. Those ideas you’ve been getting, it’s time to start applying them. Those information you’ve received but doubted, it’s time to put them to work without discouragement. See that information as the key to your breakthrough just the same way Blind Bartimaeus saw Jesus’ passing as the only needed breakthrough. Stop doubting every information, stop creating the negative side of it. Be truthful and act on it after well processed and act wisely on that processed information.

Good Day and God bless you.

“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.

“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 lovely day with productivity in Jesus Mighty name. As we continue our study on Bartimaeus, he was a man who was sensitive to the happenings around him. He heard sounds of crowd, though he couldn’t see, he knew something unusual was happening and never took it lightly, so he asked questions. How sensitive are we with what’s going on around us? Sometimes the occurrences around us is telling us to change position, sometimes to pray and sometime to ask for help. Yours might even be a time to render a help, solve a problem or ask questions. Blind Bartimaeus’ sensitivity made him asked questions, “Please what is going on? Why the crowd? He asked questions not because of dangers or to beg for arm, but he was curious of the movement, how curious are you with situations around you, place of work, within your family, church and environment? You need to be sensitive because you don’t know when God will be passing, when He will be visiting you like Abraham. How sensitive are you? Don’t just wave informations away, be curious of what the happenings around you is.

Good Day and God bless you.

“46. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, Blind Bartimaeus, The Son Of Timaeus, Sat By The Highway Side Begging.

Good day Beloved of God and welcome to this new week filled with God’s purpose for our lives. This week, our search light will be on Blind Bartimaeus, the blind man who received His sight miraculously, what was His contribution and how did Jesus healed him?

Firstly, this man was rightly positioned, Yes, he had a good location, the scripture says, “By the high way side”, not in the jungle or a corridor where no one can locate him. Many of us are wrongly positioned in life, we stay with friends with different ideas, remain with families, we don’t want to be alone, we want to yoke with others thereby, we are far from the reach of God. Remember, God told Isaac to stay in Gerar, Gen. 26:1-2, but many of us left for Egypt too soon. Where are you position? Your located determines what comes your way. Blind Bartimaeus was rightly position for his miracle, do you jump from church to church, work, rented apartment and shop, are you rightly position or flocking around with others? Think on this for a while, why are you where you are?

Good Day and God bless you.

30 And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. 

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 

32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. 

Welcome to the last day of the week, as we round up our topic with, Grieve Not the Holy Spirit, this is the last admonition from Apostle Paul to us this week. Every action of believes will either grieve or bring joy to the Holy Spirit. As a child of God, we possess the Holy Spirit in us at redemption, it’s a seal upon us and we are to walk according to His dictates. The Holy Spirit won’t lead one into bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words and all evil act, these aren’t His qualities but being kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, walking in peace and pleasing God always, these are His qualities, any other act aside these will grieve the Holy Spirit.

From our studies this week, these acts has been discussed, so if we will walk with Him by avoiding those act we will enjoy His presence daily otherwise He will be grieved. Above all, we need to learn forgiving one another regardless of the offences, since we were all forgiven by God through Jesus Christ our saviour. To enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit is to avoid acts the piss him off, letting go of every act that leads to bitterness. I pray, may we be able to walk in accordance with the Holy Spirit in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.

29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. 

Welcome to today’s devotional and i wish you a restful weekend. As we continue to dig deep on Apostle Paul’s admonition to the Ephesus which is also paramount to us as believers, our focus today says, “Guard Your Tongue”, watch what you say, let your conversation be positive to heal wounds not to create wounds. This days, it’s very hard to differenciate believers from the world, our words has become similar to that of the world. We now copy from the world not the world copying from us. Our words has no positive effect, even when two believers speaks it lacks encouraging words. Apostle Paul is saying, let our words be helpful not hurtful, let our words be encouraging to every one who hears it. Speaking from the perspective of faith, induced by the word of God, brings healing but when we speak according to what’s happening around us, it brings more danger and create more fear to the hearer.

It’s time to speak and walk by faith. It’s time to encourage ourselves and others. We need to justify what the word of God says and speak from that perspective to ourselves and others. Foul words, abusive words, discouraging word and fearful word need to be replaced from our heart with the words of faith, yes, it might not be easy but the righteous shall live by faith. Make it your goal to be positive in your words and the Holy Spirit will enable you to live that life in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.
