Topic: FAVOUR BRINGS DIVINE FOCUS
Memorise: And as Jesus passed by he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
John 9:1
Bible Text: John 9:1-7
Bible in one year: Genesis 1-2, John 10:22-42
John 9:1n talks about a man who was born blind. He had been blind for
over 40 years, but when his day of favour came, Jesus saw him. This was not an
accidental glance; rather, God directed the attention He gives to the whole
universe to this blind man. The favour of God brought this blind man under
divine focus. Through this same favour, Esther also came under special focus
(Esther 5:1-8). King Ahasuerus did not just see Esther; he focused his
attention on her. This was not ordinary king; he was a very busy king
overseeing 120 nations. As busy as he was, when he looked at Esther, it was not
just a passing glance but a life-changing glance of favour.
Similarly, in John 5:2-6, in the midst of a multitude of sick but
expectant folks, there was a man who had been there for 38 years without help.
Jesus saw him and singled him out of the crowd. Among all the multitude of people
having your particular type of problem, favour will locate you today and you
will be singled out for a miracle in Jesus’ Name. There was a particular man
who had two PhDs but still could not get a job for more than six years. By the
time he was brought for prayers, he looked like a mad man. He looked like
someone who never stepped into a school, because he has gone through a lot. We
introduced him to Jesus and he willingly accepted Him into his life. Not long
after, the people in his local government, who had been looking for someone to
employ, suddenly took interest in him. What several application letters could
not do became settled when God focused his attention on him, and his long
pressing need was met. For so long it might appear you have been going
unnoticed. You have called out to God, fasted, praised and worshipped Him
sincerely from your heart, but it appears as if God has either turned a deaf
ear or your prayers have never passed the ceiling of your house. You are
becoming discouraged as a result of this, and you are wondering if your prayer
efforts are of any use. Do not be discouraged! God is not only looking towards
your direction right now, He is also paying proper attention to you. Your
situation is about to turn around for good. Hold on to the Lord in faith. Give
Him more thanks, praise, worship and adoration. Wait on God until your change
comes!
“If a man die, shall he live again? all the days on
my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.”
Action Point:Ask God to remember all innocent
people who are unjustly awaiting trial in prisons. Ask Him to grant them favour
and set them free.
