Topic: Jump To Your Feet And Run To Jesus!
Text: Mark 10:49-50
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him”. So they called to the blind man, “cheer up” on your feet! He is calling you. Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. Amen
In the healing and miracle process of God, He always requires our involvement. If you are seeking for healing, He requires that you believe He can do it.
Like blind man Bartimaeus, all Jesus required from him was to get to his feet and walk to him. But Bartimaeus later realizes an obstacle to his healing- ‘his cloak’ and had to throw it aside.
There are many things that prevent us from accessing the miracle of God or achieving our life’s vision. One of such to be looked at is sin. As in Hebrews 12:1, the Bible admonishes us to throw off the sin that so easily entangles us so we can run with perseverance the race marked for us. Sin will definitely prevent us from seeing the helping hand and the glory of God and therefore must be thrown off.
Another obstacle is ‘adhering to negative people’. The people around us can either make or unmake us. Negative people may be ‘vision killers’ who can be as close as the cloak of Bartimaeus. We must therefore know well the kinds of people we keep around and open up to.
Finally, Bartimaeus never knew the cloak which was giving him warmth and comfort was an obstacle to his miracle. Beware of the things that give you so much comfort so that you are neither challenged nor inspired to pursue godliness nor the purpose of God for your life.
Begin to pray. Ask God to open your eyes to identify the various obstacles to your walk with Him and to your success. Ask for grace to deal away with them. Jesus is calling you this day to a deeper and higher realm. Arise from your blindness, jump to your feet, throw of the dirty cloak and run to Him for sight. Your life will never be the same again, in Jesus mighty name.
