How Earnest Do You Want It?

*MEDITATION*

John 5:6 "When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well? [Are you really in earnest about getting well?]"AMP

Point to ponder on: Jesus knows where you need His help but He wants to know how earnest you need it.

Do you know that Jesus takes note of the condition in your life that needs a change. He wants to help you get well in all spheres of life, He wants to put an end to long standing issues, habits that represent either weight or sin preventing you from enjoying a triumphant life. Just as Jesus noticed the invalid man who had been stagnant for thirty eight years, He notices that area in your life that needs transformation and He is willing to help you now. 

However, some believers have remained stagnant because they are always looking unto people instead of taking bold steps and grab the opportunity the Lord has provided, they are still waiting for someone to help them and so they remain on the same spot giving excuses. Excuses have been the barrier of many today like the invalid man, blaming the issue on people who were not ready to help. And even when help came for him, he had been so used to depending on others to help him that he was busy complaining about his disappointments instead of telling Jesus his need. Beloved, Jesus is willing to help you, forget about those who have the capacity to help and didn't help and focus on the true helper who can use anyone to fulfill His mission in your life. It is first you and Jesus, then any other can follow. So tell Jesus those areas you are in earnest about getting well(fixed), whether in your finance, relationships, academics, mental health, physical health, spiritual life or your career.

Consequently,  instead of complaining to everyone about your problems, why don't you go into your room, take a seat or any position comfortable and envision God seated before you and tell him if you think its necessary your frustrations but most importantly the help you need. Take note that Jesus is so gentle and will not impose anything on you, so He needs to know whether you want a change or you prefer the status quo. Jesus will raise you up and emancipate you from every form of stagnation in Jesus name. Be precise about what you want Him to fix in your life.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
