TOPIC : LIVING THE HIGHER CHRISTIAN LIFE
(Special edition)
TEXT:MARK 10:47-52
[47]And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
[48]And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
[49]And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
[50]And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
[51]And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
[52]And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Beloved, archbishop Benson Idahosah had a crusade in Kenya in 1973.
It was a harvest of miracles.
Many blind people were healed, but there was a woman who brought her son who had no eyes.
It was not that he was blind, but that there were no eye sockets for the eye ball.
The insistent mother kept telling Mama Idahosah to tell her husband to give her child eyes.
Nothing happened until the last day.
She had come very early, got a seat in a vantage position from where she kept gesticulating to the archbishop to give her son eyes.
Bishop told her that he had never healed anyone without eyeball. The woman responded that the God that opens blind eye can also give new eye balls.
Bishop had never seen a case like this one.
Not wanting the woman to embarrass him when he would be leaving, he decided that he would tell everyone to close their eyes, raise a song, and while they would be at it, he would escape.
So he had done all these and was about escaping when had the woman screaming, " he can see".
Then he stopped to see, lo and behold the boy had new eyeballs and could see.
Glory be to God, it is God's power that brings the healing.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
