"I say unto thee,Arise,and take up thy bed,and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose,took up the bed,and went forth before them all;insomuch that they were all amazed,and glorified God,saying,We never saw it on this fashion".(Mark 2 vs 11,12). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
It is instructive to observe that when Jesus intervened in the life of the paralytic man,He didn't just say He had healed the man;He only told the man to arise,and take up his bed and go home. He didn't announce healing;He just gave the paralytic man an INSTRUCTION,and as the man obeyed,he received a miracle.
Jesus didn't seem to announce healing,but when he gave an instruction and that instruction was obeyed,the miracle of healing took place. The miracle seemed to be tied to Jesus' instruction. It was a case of obeying an instruction and ending up with a miracle.
Friend,glean another powerful lesson from the story of the paralytic man: Your obedience to God's instructions will birth miracles that will blow your mind. Your miracle is tucked away in an instruction you are yet to obey. There are new heights you will attain,and the only way for you to get there will be to pay attention to whatever instructions the Lord has given you.
Make up your mind to walk in obedience to God. Obey God in the matter of godliness. Obey Him in tithes and offerings. If there are habits he asked you to drop,drop them. If there are people He asked you to walk away from,walk away as fast as possible.
Isaiah 1 vs 19 captures it aptly,it says,"If Ye be willing and obedient,ye shall eat the good of the Land".
Pray with me,"Lord,give me grace to walk in obedience to you in Jesus name".
Have an Awesome Thursday!
