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 o f 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 prevents us from achieving our success or life vision. One of such to be looked at is sin. As in Heb.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 to our success in life is ‘people’. The people around us can either make or unmake us. These people are called ‘vision killers’ who can be so close to us as de cloak of Bartimaeus. We must therefore know well the kinds of people we tell our plans for life or vision.
Finally, Bartimaeus never knew the cloak which was giving him warmth and comfort was an obstacle to his. Beware of the things that you think give you comfort such as the white colour jobs, sugar daddys or mummys which are preventing us from rising to fulfilling our dreams and vision.
Pray to God to open your eyes to identify the various obstacles to your success and the grace to deal away with them.
