IF MEN CAN STOP GOD...
(Luke 14:1-6)
Jesus went to the house of a
ruler, one of the Pharisees to dine. They were watching Him. But He was
watching the man with dropsy. The situation of this man meant nothing to them.
They only cared about the honour of hosting Jesus. Many of us look up to God
without looking around to see what the people of God are passing through. Thank
God, God is not man.
Jesus took the initiative to do
something about the situation of the man. It became an issue among the
pharisees. Jesus shoulders: Man, why are you like this?
If men were God, there would have
been serious problem. Jesus is the one doing what man was insensitive to do,
observing an undone good. Yet, man was bitter, suggesting excuses to Jesus for
which He should not heal. Man, why are you like this?
Come to think of it; if God was
coming to man for advice and suggestions, situations would have been very
unfortunate. Man would have advised God not to allow some people live, not to
allow some people get healed, not to allow some people get married, not to allow
some people have children, not to allow the sun shine on some people's homes,
not to allow the rainfall on some people's farms. Not to allow the moon and
stars appear over some roofs. But thank God, God is not man.
If men can stop God, they would
have convinced Him not to bless some persons. But thank God, God is not man.
Thank God He doesn't have to obtain permissions to heal you, He doesn't have
any excuses to deliver you. He enjoys preparing a table for you in the sight of
your foes. Thank God that your nothingness notwithstanding, God has never
abandoned you and will never abandon you. Thank God that no authority, no
power, no principality whatsoever can put a stop to the blessing of God upon
your life. You're blessed beyond imaginations.
The Lord will break every boundary to see that his will for you is
accomplished.
God will observe your situation.
You will attract the blessings of the Lord. No man can stop God's plan for you
and your family.
Let us pray
Thank You Lord for being who you
are to me. I am grateful that you are not man who fails. I am happy that no one
can condemn me when you have redeemed me. I am thankful that you will not allow
my weaknesses to stop you from blessing me. You will even go beyond the sabbath
to heal me. It is indeed a day of thanksgiving. Thank you, Jesus. For your love
for me, I will not stop loving you my all. Be glorified now and for ever. Amen.
God bless your Friday
