ONE
DAY i made up a reconstruction of the travailing of the impotent man at
the pool of Bethasda: a night before JESUS met with him he was inches
close to his Miracle. but lo, his Miracle was yet still far away. we all
know how the pool functioned in those ancient days, an Angel will stir
the pool at random (that's at anytime, anytime of the day, and anytime
of the year) no one knew when the stirring
would occur. it could happen in 5 years gap, it could be in days gap.
the stirring gave no warning, it gave no sign, no man knew when it will
happen, just the most observant and 'fastest' to get into that pool
FIRST when the pool got stirred would be healed. this certain man was
crippled, and indisposed to be 'sharp' and fast enough for most 38
years. it was a sorry sight. because those that had fast and sharp loved
ones to throw them into the water were racing against each other to
make it into that stirred pool before anyone else; our man here stood no
chance. ON THIS CERTAIN NIGHT, our man was awake (about in the middle
of the deep night) and suddenly the pool was stirred! and luckily again
he was the only one awake: "this is my chance!" he said to himself, "if
only i could crawl into the pool now no one is looking, now i have no
competition..." this he thought to himself...he then began his ultimate 3
yards journey to the stirring pool...he crawled...and crawled...the
stirring was still on...everyone was fast asleep..."I'm almost there!"
he rejoiced, as he crawled; "just little more, and I'm in!"; he could
taste his victory, he began to picture on the faces of friends and
family that would say "alas, you made it!" he could see himself in the
pool...just a little more crawl and i'm there. BUT JUST AT THE TIP OF
THE POOL, as he stretched forth his hand to enter, he heard a loud
splash! a deaf man, with good legs and hands, unfortunately woke up
suddenly and saw the pool stirring...he raced (like a cheetah) and dove
into the pool (like an olympics swimmer) and that was it! the dreams of
our man was gone! gone with the wind. gone, for another maybe 5 or 10
years of stirring. which he will be utmostly lucky to have such an
opportunity again. oh! what great despair.
BUT
The next morning, JESUS came passing by...and the following ensued:
"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? 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. Jesus saith unto him, RISE, TAKE UP THY BED, AND WALK. And IMMEDIATELY the man was made whole, AND TOOK UP HIS BED, AND WALKED..."
[John 5: 6 - 9]
*Giving your life to Christ is like making a pledge! A pledge to live for JESUS! (it's more than a pledge) but the word 'pledge' is used to help you understand how this great journey commences.
If you're NOT BORN AGAIN, you have not given your life to Christ, simply make this pledge right now, you can raise your right hand as you say it solemnly; (never mind, God is seeing you right now) say this: "Lord JESUS, I come to you today; I've been living my life for myself, but from today I want to live my life for You. I confess my sins today, write my name in Your Book of Life, for from today I will live for You; Thank You Lord JESUS. For in JESUS Mighty Name I pray, Amen."
Brother, sister, you are now BORN AGAIN! [Romans 10v9&10] Welcome to Your New Life.
Halleluyah!
If you prayed this prayer, you have begun a new journey to greatness.
