Men Walking Like Trees

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale.

Mark 8: 24-25 – “And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly”

The above text is about a blind man in Bethesda whose friends took to Jesus to be healed. They begged Jesus to touch their friend. They were sure a touch by the Son of God was enough to cause their friend’s cure.

Jesus, as was (and still is) His custom, to these men’s request. He led the blind man out of the town, spat on his eyes and put his hands upon him. He then asked the man if he saw anything. Yes, he did see something – men walking like trees.  What a miracle, you would say? Was that the BEST for the man? No!

Even though this experience was clearly a remarkable improvement in the blind man’s condition, it was definitely not the best thing that could happen to him.

His sight improved but it wasn’t perfect. The God of Perfection had not finished His work on him. Our God is not only a perfect God, but what He does is perfect. He perfects healing, gives perfect gifts and expects His instructions to be followed perfectly.

His blessings are complete, precise, accurate and perfect. Infallible, flawless, faultless, errorless, immaculate, impeccable, unadulterated…

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
