FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Do not be trapped on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 5:1-23<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be trapped on the right track is not the will of God for His creation.
The Bible records a man who had an infirmity of thirty-eight years.
The man with infirmity was on the right track to gain healing but was trapped.
John 5:1-4<\/strong><\/em> describes the track where healing was in place for the infirmity, “the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3\u00a0In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.\u00a0\u00a04\u00a0For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.”<\/strong><\/em>
The infirmity man of thirty-eight years trapped on the right track of where to gain healing.
By the mercy of God, Jesus saw him lying and knew that he had been in that condition<\/em> for a long time.
He said to him, \u201cDo you want to be made well?\u201d (John 5:6)<\/strong><\/em>
The mercy of God called the attention of the man with infirmity.
Mercy belongs to God.
Romans 9:15<\/strong><\/em> testifies to God, \u201cI will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
The man with infirmity answered the calling of Jesus, \u201cSir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.\u201d (John 5:7)<\/strong><\/em>
The stagnation of the man with infirmity was rooted in looking outside God for help.
Who are you looking at for intervention to your challenge?
Watching and praying is a way to pray to God and engage the presence of God.
Jesus spoke to the infirmity man, \u201cRise, take up your bed and walk.\u201d (John 5:8)<\/strong><\/em>
John 5:9, “And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.”<\/strong><\/em>
The healing word of God sounded in the direction of the sick man, and he rose immediately.
Believe that every trap in your life that you know or do not know shall experience the visitation of God, that stagnation be converted motion to the glory of God.
By the mercy of God, Jesus saw him lying and knew that he had been in that condition for<\/em> a long time.
Mercy belongs to God.
God will have mercy on who He chooses to have mercy on.
However, the mercy of God is attainable when one asks or pleads for His mercy.
Job is a blameless and upright man before God demonstrates the need to plead before God:\u00a0\u201cFor though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge\u201d (Job 9:15).<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask that God will have mercy over you.
Ask that every area of stagnation, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, become converted to motion, to the glory of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
