ONCE I WAS BLIND – Saturday December 24th 2016
Memorise:
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one
thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. John 9:25
1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When
he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the
spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And
said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by
interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came
seeing.

MESSAGE
There
is a category of people that God is counting on to spread the Gospel to
the uttermost parts of the world. Open heavens devotional. We can see
how powerful the testimony of a witness could be in our Bible reading
today. In Matthew 5:14, Jesus declared all followers of Jesus as the light of the world and He went further in Mathew 5:16 to say:
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
We
are therefore called to be witnesses to the Power of God in our lives,
sharing the testimony of His saving Power, Goodness, Mercy,
Faithfulness, Love, Blessing, and the Miracles with the people of the
world. 1st John 1:5 says:
“This
then is the message which we have heard of him, and declared unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”
Many
perpetually live in darkness without any hope of deliverance; many are
in bondage to sin, sickness, poverty, and lustful desires. God is
counting on you to share the testimony of your salvation, healing,
deliverance, and victory over demonic powers with somebody today. Open
Heavens Saturday 24 December 2016:- Once I was blind. As you begin to
share your experience from today, God will turn you to a mighty beam of
light that will shine into the kingdom of darkness to liberate souls
that are in bondage in the mighty Name of Jesus.
Testifying
to the Glory of God is not only beneficial to others; it also provides
an opportunity to destroy the stronghold of the devil in your life. Revelation 12:11 says:
“And the y overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”
One
sure way of repelling those who want to drag you into sin is by
confronting them with the light of the Gospel. Also, when light shines
in a dark environment, all secret activities will be exposed. Do you
know that it is possible for you to know the secret thoughts and plans
of your enemies before their implementation? To do this, let the light
of God’s Word shine in your heart and be full of the Holy Spirit. There
is hardly and significant thing that takes place on earth without God
first revealing it to one of His confidants (Psalms 25:14).
In addition, when light comes, it propels you into action. Not many
people want to perform brain tasking assignments when it is dark. If you
allow the light of Jesus to shine in your heart, you will be
supernaturally propelled to pick up your lost destiny and fulfil it. So,
arise and shine, let your light shine bright in the dark places of the
earth, share your testimony, let the whole world see what the Lord has
done for you.
Prayer Point
Father, please give me a voice; let the whole world hear my testimony very soon.
