TOPIC: ATTRACTING GOD’S VISITATION
Memory Verse: Is. 55:6
“Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.”
Bible Reading: Mark 10:46-52
“46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” 50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. 51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”
CRY TO GOD IN FAITH
Bishop David Oyedepo made an illustration about a victim in an accident, saying, when you get to an accident scene, you attend to the crying victims first, who is asking for help before those that are not calling for help. This was the case of blind Bartimaeus with Jesus.
Many were walking with Jesus that same day with diverse of problems but couldn’t see it as an advantage to cry to Jesus. Many Christians attend all services in their church but still remain in their situations just like the same people following Jesus Christ to and fro. But the blind Bartimaeus’ case was totally different because he added faith with it. He did not just cried to God alone but with full faith, he knew Jesus could heal him. He never doubted Jesus’ capability of healing him, so, when he came to Jesus, He saw his faith and all He could say was, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.”
To attract God’s visitation we need to cry to God with faith knowing well that He is capable of attending to our case. We need to put aside every negative thoughts that can hinder His visitation. God’s visitation to our situations needs Faith plus our cry; prayers, fasting, vows, services to God, fellowshipping with him and many more.
Cry to Him for His visitation. Let your prayers be continuous and more frequent to Him not just in the church. Heaven will hear your cry today in Jesus might name.
Have a Great Day.
