FAVOUR
BRINGS DIVINE FOCUS
Memorise:
And as Jesus passed by he saw a man which was blind from his birth. John 9:1; Read
John 9:1-7, Bible in one year: Genesis 1-2, John 10:22-42
John 9:1 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.”
