Topic: Help in Discouraging Circumstance
Fire Scripture
Luke 5:16-26
Memory verse
Luke 8: 48 – “And he said unto her, Daughter be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole, go in peace.”
Outline:
Our Fire Scripture for today centres on a story about a paralyzed man and his friends who brought him to Jesus. A crowd had gathered around Jesus and it was difficult to walk through the vast number of people who were all pushing forward to see Him.
It was so difficult and discouraging for his friends to move through a crowded street, let alone carry a bed along with them. When these friends found it difficult to get through, they tried something unusual. They couldn’t enter the house where Jesus was, hence they removed the roof.
One interesting thing about this story is the extra mile the men went for their friend. I pray that your divine helpers will go the extra mile to help and bless you. No matter the hurdle in the way, they will scale it and deliver the blessings of heaven to you, in the name of Jesus. These men found their way to get to the top of the house.
They removed the tiles and timbers that supported the roof. Then, they safely lowered their sick friend to the ground. The paralyzed man relied on the assistance of others to get to his destination. This man might have been worried or even afraid. Have you ever been worried or concerned about something that is happening to you or how you can get to your destination?
Have you ever been anxious about your future? Our Lord Jesus Christ sensed the worry of this man who wanted to be healed. Jesus gave him a bit of encouragement. He said, “Take heart my son” (Matt. 9:2).
No matter your circumstances, there is always a way out. Despite the trouble the friends went through, they found a way for the paralysed man to be healed. Even if your situation is hopeless today, God shall raise a helper and make a way for you.
Jesus used the situation to demonstrate His power to the crowd. Your stubborn situation shall become testimonies, in the name of Jesus. Your sins shall be forgiven. Jesus forgave the man. In the Old Testament Moses spoke directly to God and Aaron was the first high Priest.
Both of them couldn’t forgive sin nor work miracles. Jesus told the man with authority, “Pick up thy bed and go home.” The man sang a new song. I decree you shall sing a new song this season. Don’t be discouraged; God is by your side.
