PRESSING FORWARD
MARK 10: 46-52
This is the records the opening of the eyes of blind Bartimaeus by Jesus Christ. The account of this story tells us that Bartimaeus did not allow those with two eyes intact to discourage him from getting help from the person he believed could deliver him. Blind Bartimaeus knew he would be the greatest enemy of himself if he allowed Jesus, whom he must have heard a lot about, to pass without calling his attention to his situation. After all, he was only blind, he wasn't deaf or dumb, he used what he had which is his voice and sight. He shouted louder to the extent that Jesus heard him, and sent for him. This year let nothing hinder you, you must press forward. The irony is that the people who tried to hinder Bartimaeus from getting his miracle were the same people who told him to cheer up because Jesus was calling him. That is why you must not listen to discouragers, mockers, negative people etc the only person you will listen to is the bible (the word of God) Just like David ignored Eliab, his brother, who was making an uncomplimentary statement about his enquiry as regards Goliath on the battle field (1Sam 17:26-30).
You must be determined to receive your miracle. No matter what, You must not stop crying to God until he answers you, until you receive your miracle, until your story changes. You may have been praying over a matter for some years, never give up. Don't be weary in prayer. Trust the lord, Jesus was on his way to the house of the Jairus whose daughter had died but was interrupted by the woman with hemorrhage for 12 years. Unfortunately, while the woman must have been rejoicing over her healing at last, he received a bad news that the daughter was dead."Yourlittle girl is dead. There's no need troubling the teacher now," he was told (luke 8:49) They're in essence saying there was no need for him to cry to the master again: he should accept the condition as his fate. But Jesus heard them and told the Jairus, Don't be afraid just trust me, and she will be alright. Luke 8:50 in the Name of Jesus everything shall be alright for you this year.
WHAT TO Do
1. Study the bible
2.Pray according to the word of God. The word of God is the will of God 1 John 5 14-15.
3.Keep asking in faith and thanking God 1 These 2:13
4. Don't neglect the gathering with fellow believers.
5. Be patient. Heb 6:12
6. Listen and obey the spirit of God.
Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the lord has not commanded it.

MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 11:26 '' for as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the lord's death till he come." Christians eat bread and drink wine to remember Jesus death. The holy Communion is also referred to as the Lord's supper. Our Lord Jesus Christ instituted it shortly before his death. he commanded all Christians to gather together regularly to share the bread and wine till he comes back again. The bread represents the body of Jesus and the wine the blood of Jesus. The Holy Communion must be taken in righteousness. The very first Holy Communion was served by the Lord Jesus Christ. This took place during his last evening with his disciples.
WHAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS CAN DO

What can secure you is the blood of Jesus.
What can hide you from your enemies is the blood of Jesus.

POWER OF YOUR IDENTITY
Romans
chp 8 vs 1-20
WHAT IS BORN AGAIN? Born again is not the
confession of sin rather is the confession of Christ.
The word confession some people are seeing it in
a negative side. The word confession means Homology, that is speaking the same
thing in consent, saying what God has said about you
it doesn't mean confessing negative things. But it has been
used negatively and because of that it has projected a negative mind set
in the mind of so many when they hear the word confession. As a born
again child of God you don't confess your sin to any man. that is why the
bible tells us the Just shall live by faith you don't need to go to any man to
confess your sin. Salvation does not mean confession of sin.
Therefore, there is now
no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,2 because through Christ Jesus the law of
the Spirit who gives life has set you[a]free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do
because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness
of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order
that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do
not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. The reason there
is no judgement because you are in Christ why because he was judged
for us because he was judged for us therefore there is now no
judgement of any kind to them that are in Christ Jesus. Every born again
child of God will make it to heaven. It is appointed unto man to die once after
that is judgement. To the believers Jesus was judged for us. The unbeliever that don't know Christ as he is closing his
eyes straight away is hell. When you don't know your identity
in Christ the world will define your identity for you. Now we have different kind of false prophets. As a born again believer what we need now is the sound doctrine because no false prophet can preach the message of Grace all you hear them preach is condemnation to enrich their pocket. Only what they can minister is the message of law of Moses. lets not be deceived by all these fake prophets lets stand firm to our faith. Many has been deceived in the body of Christ. As a believer of Jesus Christ lets study our bible at all times to know who we are in Christ if you don't understand Grace and Riteousness you will fall victim. You can't call yourself a child of God when you don't know the word of God not this time. If Jesus can't do without the word of God what about you. When you are empty in the word of God the devil will deal with you. Get the knowledge of the word of God when a false prophet is talking you will know. When you walk in the spirit you believe whatever the word tells you irrespective of what your flesh or mind is telling you, because your feeling will want to contradict the word of God. The miracle you need is in the word of God any thing you need is in the word of God. The word of God is the answer. If you feel the word of God can't answer all your problem you can join them. 1John 5:11 He that have the son has eternal life. Your salvation does not base on, you are a nice man but base on did you believe in Jesus? if you have not given your life to Jesus he is calling you today to confess Jesus as your personal lord and Savior.

THE BLOOD OF JESUS
The blood of Jesus is a great weapon of protection over our lives against the Arch enemy, Satan and all his cohorts. The blood of Jesus shield us as we engage in spiritual warfare, against forces darkness. The blood of Jesus Cleanses us from all sins 1 John 1: 7-9. The blood of Jesus demobilizes the enemy, blinds their eyes and makes us invisible to them. The blood of Jesus sanctifies us. The blood of Jesus makes way for access to God's presence. The blood of Jesus serves as a guarantee of God's eternal covenant. The blood can do alot in our lives the question is how many times do you use the blood of Jesus as your weapon? you see some people instead of using the blood of Jesus as there weapon they use the name of their father or mother as their warfare weapon. Believers should know the power in the blood. Hebrew 13:12 says And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Rev. 12:11 says They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. What the blood of goat and bulls cannot do the Blood of Jesus has done it better for you.
and by the word of their testimony;they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. What the blood of goat and bulls cannot do the Blood of Jesus has done it better for you.
