Text: John 5:1-9
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
It is God’s will for you to make progress. It is his desire for you to go from minimum to maximum, from a zero to a hero, from a ‘nobody; to a ‘somebody’. Whatever is holding you back will give way in Jesus name. I pray that Every Satanic imprisonment restricting your progress will be broken by the blood of Jesus.
However, there are self-inflicted lifestyles that that can give the devil a legal spiritual right to hold you down. For example, a person who is holding others down will himself be stuck on the same spot. Both the jailer and the prisoner are found in the same prison environment. If you want to go forward let go of those who have offended you- Matthew 6:14-15.
Some are stuck to one spot because they have refused to obey God in the area of restitution. If you have taken what does not belong to you, it is time to return it to its rightful owner. By so doing you will set yourself free from every chain of the devil tying you to one spot in Jesus name- Psalm 107:10-13.
Sickness is a weapon used by the devil to limit so many folks. In today’s text, we come across the popular story of a man who was bedridden for 38 years. For almost four decades he was stuck to one spot, abandoned and seemingly hopeless. But one day he found God’s mercy and he arose from his sickbed- John 5:1-9. You will be a recipient of God’s mercy today in Jesus name.
Over two thousand demons were holding down a single individual. He was so insane that even insane people called him insane. However, when his time came, he worshipped Jesus and his madness gave way and he became a popular evangelist in Ten Cities (Decapolis)- Mark 5:1-20. Whatever is holding you down from moving forward will receive the fire of God’s judgment in Jesus name.
Prophetic Nugget: As from this moment you are moving forward in Jesus name.
