TOPIC: FATHER, LOCATE ME FOR AN ENCOUNTER 2: In My Abandoned Place
Memory Verse: Psalms 18:19
“He brought me out to a wide-open place. He rescued me because he was pleased with me.”
Bible Reading: John 5:1-9
“1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.
5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.”
Many of us has been abandoned in a particular place where nobody could find us by the virtue of looking for help. Many has been turned to slave, used as a housemaid or house help just because we needed some help from someone, I pray today, may heaven locate us and place us at our rightful places in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
This man was abandoned for thirty-eight good years in the name of seeking for help, in the name of looking for a way out of his predicament. He was left there in a point with the mind of “one day it will be my turn” our turn shall come and we will be repositioned in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. Jesus Christ located him, and had pity on him. Regardless of the wrong focus of the man on the pool, Jesus forcefully helped him by giving him the needed healing. Today, where people has abandoned us, relegated us, where our situations has permanent us, God, in His Mightiness, will locate us all in Jesus Mighty Name.
1. Father, locate me and attend to my situations.
2. Locate me and change my status.
3. Locate my destiny and give it a meaning in Jesus Mighty Name.
