“Crowds of sick people- blind, lame,
or paralyzed- lay on the porches. One of the men lying there had been sick for
thirty-eight years” John 5:3-5
When
Jesus Christ returned to Jerusalem for one of his Jewish holy days inside the
city, near the sheep Gate, was a pool of Bethesda, there were five covered
porches. Time and Time, an angel of the Lord visits to stir the porches for
others to step into to be set free from slavery and captivity. For 38 years, a
lame man who could not receive his healing met Jesus Christ, the healer. Jesus
Christ came not hear your complains, rather to administer answers to our
questions.
Steps to Encounter Christ’s Breakthroughs
1. Stop complaining:
In John 5 of the same quotation, when Jesus
Christ met the lame man; he knew he had been ill for a long time. So he asked
him whether he wanted to get well. The lame man replied in verse 7 of the
same chapter saying “I can’t, sir, the sick man said; for I have no one to put me into the
pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always sets ahead of me”. The lame man had no faith.
Blindly,
the lame man could not recognize the man before him. Therefore he had no choice
than to complain and feel self-pity. Fellow readers, God knows your
predicaments. For you to experience God’s miracle you need to stop complaining,
avoid the usage of interrogative words like `Why, What, How, Which` during such
trials. As the angel of the Lord stirs up the porches (home, town, work, school
and other unpleasant occurrences) to bring breakthroughs, so shall it be if you.
Stop worrying yourself but focus on the grace of God upon your life. For worry
brings sorry.
2. Take a
faithful step without complaining: From verse
8-9a Jesus said; “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!’’. Instantly, the man was healed!
He rolled up his sleeping mat and begun walking. Praise the Lord!
The lame man
exercised greater faith in the word of Jesus Christ to receive his
breakthrough. Is now your turn to encounter your breakthrough in your finances,
marriage, education, successes as you believe in the work of Jesus Christ.
3.
Later Christ disappeared into the crowd without the healed lame man seeing him.
Within a couple of hours, Jesus met him in the temple and said in John 5:10 ``
Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even more worse may happen to
you’’
From
today as you receive your breakthrough, stop sinning so that you do not
experience bad omen to halt your blessings.
No
matter what happens, believe an angel of the Lord will surely visit you in
order to encounter your breakthroughs. God has not given up on you. So do not
give up on him either.
Do You Want To Be Born Again?
“But to all who believe him and
accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn-not
physically birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes
from God.” John 1:12-13
Having
read this message, want to be born again? Say this prayer with faith; Heavenly
father, from today I surrender myself to you. Forgive and cleanse me from all
my sins. I invite you to take absolute control of my life. Beloved if you have prayed
this prayer, you are born again and welcome to God’s family.

PRAYER
Father in heaven, I thank you for the
breath of life. For your world has notified me that, it is not over until an
angel of God visit me to receive my breakthrough. I believe from today my
breakthrough is not far from me.
