PRAISE AND WORSHIP

The events and characters recorded In the Bible have useful lessons for all discerning believers. One of such events has to do with Jesus passing through Jericho and how a blind man, Bartimaeus by name, seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get himself a life-changing miracle. Let us examine the important lessons this amazing story teaches us.

First, Bartimaeus cried to the right person, Jesus, who could deliver him to the uttermost. Many people’s faith or trust is highly misplaced. They need healing but trust in the medical
experts rather than Jesus. Many trust in the power of the prescriptions and drugs rather than the Great Physician.

Some even trust in herbs and roots, some in voodoo and magic rather than the Balm of Gilead. While it is not wrong to seek medical treatment or use drugs prescribed by medical practitioners, you must always remember that it is God that heals. You should also ensure that you do not go to Egypt for help.

Bartimaeus sought his miracle from the right source, Jesus, the Light of the whole world. Beloved, no matter the challenge you may be facing, as you read today’s devotional, look only unto Jesus Christ for your miracle; present your request to Him in faith. He will answer you.

Second, Bartimaeus demonstrated strong and unwavering faith in Jesus. He believed that Jesus could restore his sight. His faith was tested. The large crowd was enough discouragement for a blind man.

Bartimaeus did not for once see that as a barrier. His determination to see Jesus and get his miracle was resolute. He cried loudly and desperately enough to get Jesus’ attention. He broke the barrier presented by the noise of the multitude around Jesus. His faith moved the compassionate Lord and earned him his miracle. Dearly beloved, have faith in God!

No matter what your challenges may be in this most trying period in human history, let the word of God be your anchor. It never fails. Hold on to Christ’s word of comfort in John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Be anxious for nothing; simply cast your burden upon the One who cares for you.
