DCLM Daily Manna 11 February 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Be A Wonder
TOPIC: Be A Wonder
TEXT: John 9:8-12 (KJV)
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
KEY VERSE: “The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?” – (John 9:8)
MESSAGE:
A young man was invited to tell the story of his life in three minutes. Present at the gathering was the crème de la crème of society, including the vice president of his country. The young man, who now works with a multinational company, told a story of how he was raised in a poor home single-handedly by a poor widow-mother. According to him, in his growing up days, they lacked everything that makes life pleasant. Today, the lines have fallen for him in pleasant places. After his moving testimony, the august gathering rose in standing ovation. He simply became a wonder!
The blind man who was healed in our text became famous in his community, though some were reluctant to admit that he could now see. Well, their reluctance may be explained by the fact that the healing was surreal. He had been blind for so many years. Whatever the case, the testimony of the neighbours confirmed that the man could see.
No matter what others think about you, the counsel of the Lord shall stand in your life. Make no mistake about it; not everyone is comfortable with your success or general wellbeing. They would want you to continue to dwell in obscurity but it shall not be.
There are still many Herods today who would not want to hear that “A King is born”. But whether they approve of it or not, you will continue to be a wonder to the unbelieving neighbours. It is time for you to blaze abroad the glory of God. May the Lord make you a wonder.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Every testimony that glorifies God tortures the devil.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
