TOPIC: ENDURING FAITH
TEXT:
John.5.6 - When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
John.5.7 - The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
John.5.8 - Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Faith is said to be the sense of the spirit, we bring things to pass through our faith, it's the assurance that we already received that which we demand when we pray. The believe that we have received what we demand hangs on hope that it will be delivered in God's time. However, the ability to still believe when it's not manifesting shows another level of Faith.
In the text this morning, this man had been in that position of paralysis since 38 years, and I realised that he's being brought to that pool of Bethesda daily for many years. The striking point is the fact that this man kept on demanding that he should be taken there. For decades, he didn't loose faith once, he kept on going believing that someday it's going to be his turn. What a FAITH! Jesus eventually came for him alone and he was healed!
How enduring is your faith? How long have you been knocking that door? You are already thinking of giving up? You're tired of waiting? Keep on waiting friend, JESUS is on the way, he sees your endurance and persistent, and he's nearer than you expect, when he comes he will get it done. Just keep on waiting, build your faith capacity. Be enduring!
PRAYER: Father, help my Faith not to fail while waiting in Jesus Name.
CONFESSION: I believe in Jesus Name, I'll wait until I see him, I'll not fail and I will not shake.
