RISE UP AND TAKE YOUR PLACE John5:1-9

                 INTRODUCTION

The bible passage tells us the story of a man who was held bound in an ugly situation  for 38years and how he miraculously got out of the ugly situation  by simply obeying Jesus' instructions.

How ever while studying,  you will discovered  that it wasn't  the witches and wizards that kept the man in that situation  for so long. His ignorance  did!
There were certain mistakes he repeatedly repeated over the years therefore  he couldn't  move forward.

1)He was in the wrong company.

The bible said "there lay great multitude of impotent folks"
⚡ He was associating with people who had similar problem, they all were of the same limiting mind set.
⚡As long as he was among impotent folks his atmosphere and thinking revolved round their limitations.

2)He waited for Things to Change.

The passage says "In these lay a great multitude of impotent...........waiting for the moving of the water"

⚡Like this man, many people are stranded, battered, bitten, and battered because they are expecting this to change on their own accord and they never remember that nothing moves except a force is applied.

Don't wait for things to happen, make things happen.
Your healing and deliverance cant Just come like that, you have to take it forcefully and with violent faith.
✨You are believing God for a breakthrough in marriage, finance, academics etc. Don't just wait do something tangible, start from some where.

3)He embraced The Tradition of Stagnation.

For 38years he was following one pattern and was expecting a different result.
⚡They allowed their life to be controlled by the movement of water, so when the water did not move their lives did not move. Its an error!

4)He complained About everything and everyone.

They reply he Gave to Jesus' question was a complain.

5) He blamed others his conditions.

⚡He explained that the reason he wasn't getting healed was because others normally over took hiM.

6) He put his trust in man.

He said "I have no man"
��Men are full of disappointments and failure.

Woe to him that put his trust in man

7)He refused to change is thinking.

For 38years he was thinking the same way, little wonder his situation did not change because is thinking did not change.


                 TAKE YOUR PLACE!
If you must take you place in destiny, you must do the opposite of what the man did.
You must be dynamic.
Don't be stagnant at all.

1)ASSOCIATE WITH:
⭐THOSE THAT INSPIRE YOU.
⭐THOSE WHO PROVOKE YOU TO BECOME BETTER
⭐THOSE WHO HAVE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

2)MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, DON'T WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN!

3)BREAK OUT FROM TRADITIONS  THAT SPONSORS STAGNATION!

4) COME PLAIN TO JESUS, DON'T COMPLAIN TO JESUS!

5)TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE, STOP BLAMING OTHERS, STOP GIVING NICE EXCUSES!

6)TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

7)RENEW YOUR THINKING!

(You can only renew your thinking of you are a student of God's word)

May the good God, the father of Jesus Christ give you the enabling power to put to practice what you have Just read.  God bless you !

CAR AIR CONDITION, WHEN IT BECOMES DEADLY

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from, but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer-causing incidents. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, seven days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess it's not too late to make some changes. Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car. Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes. Here's why: According to research, the car dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin (carcinogen) . Take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car. In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anaemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause leukaemia, increasing the risk of cancer. It can also cause miscarriage. Acceptable Benz...

What Parents Needs To Know

It might interest you to know that people take time to learn everything about everything except important things . we have people who go through the university​ for four to five years studying about animals and other things but n when you mention  parenting, people just go about it casually. Note these: ⚡ Parenting is a big responsibility . ⚡ Parents are foundations and pillars of a nation . ( greed, revenge, indiscipline among young folks, etc  that we are facing in our nation today are traceable to bad parenting) Parents actually determine the structure of a nation as such i think parents should be taught how to parent children. ⚡Parents are teachers and role model (where you like it or not children around you are actually looking up to you, they copy your actions and try to be like you and therefore you must be a positive example) Some parents should be held responsible for the misbehaviors of their children. Many parents are careles...

The worms Of Technology and civilization

Technology has recreated and redefined our world, Without doubt technology has helped man in every area of life, therefore we can't under rate the Benefits of Technology. Technology is good. In  medicine, sports, communication, security and other areas of man's  life technology has made things easy. You can now communicate with your relatives that are far away with your handsets instead of travelling the long Journey. Technology is indeed very Good.     However the abuse of technology has led to many disastrous occurrences.  We have everything  we want,  but what we really need has been taken away. We pay so much attention to our phones and at the same time paying little or no attention to other areas of our lives.  We find it difficult to switch off our phones in church,  we chat during service in church,  we chat while walking on the road all these is a a result of the worms of technology. Technology has taken lots of our...
