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.

Men who Know their God

By Daniel Sangoleye

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that makes you ask yourself question like; what is wrong with my Christian Life? Why do I have to be the victim? Why can’t I have joy like other Christians? 

If any of these questions sounds familiar to you, then you might want to re-evaluate your Stand with God; your understanding of Him and your relationship with Him.  John 16 33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have over-come the world.” 

Christian life is not one without ups and down, and Christians are not people without hope. But our assurance is embedded in the word of God, Daniel 11:32 declared that “but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”  

There is, the need for an understanding of the God we serve for our exploit. Knowing God also brings us closer Him, and when we are closer to him, we become spiritually strong and rest is guaranteed. Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” 

You will have good success this 2016.  

Remain blessed. 

Shalom.
