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.

Remember the Times

Think back, recall, recollect, recapture…bring back the memories…

Deuteronomy 8:1–2 “All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no”

As we get to the end of the year 2016, it is important that we take a look at what has been happening in our lives so far. So much has happened this year. Some of them made us happy. Others made us sad. Whatever your experiences have been this year, it is important to reflect and make sense of what & where you’ve come from, where you’re going, and where you want to get to.

In the scripture above, God instructed Israel not to forget the important things that have happened to them. When we forget our experiences, we fail to glorify God and appreciate what He does for us. Some times manna came, and other times manna ceased. But all for experiences sake, so that we may grow thereby.

As you take time to reflect on these soberly, His grace will be upon you to look back and be thankful to Him. Remember your journey. We have all been and are all on a journey. Remember the times and…Be very Thankful

You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
