TOPIC: RISE UP
TEXT: John 5:8

Welcome to the fresh week, by His grace you will not be stranded and days throughout this month shall bring forth good testimonies in Jesus' name.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, issued a word, though He neither asked it nor thought of it. He commanded it by His word. The word He said: Rise, take up thy bed. I declare by His grace you will rise from that unpleasant situation in Jesus' name.

 Let's study further,
Firstly, he was bidden to rise and walk. A definite command given to an impotent man, that had been long disabled, but this divine word was to be the vehicle of a divine power to cure him. It was a command to the disease to be gone, to his body to be strong, but it is expressed as a command to him to stir him up. The man must rise and walk as a result of word of command. Arise, and walk, turn, and live.

Without the grace of God, distinguishing grace, than this supposed such a power in the impotent man. But, if he had not attempted to help himself, he had not been cured, and he must have borne the blame, yet it does not therefore follow that again, when he did rise and walked, was it by his own strength; no, it was by the power of Christ, and he must have all the glory.    Christ did not bid him rise and go into the waters, but rise and walk. Christ did that for us which the law could not do and set the law aside.

Secondly, he was bidden to take up his bed to make it to appear that it was a perfect cure, and purely miraculous, for he did not recover strength by degrees, but from the extremity of weakness and impotency. He suddenly stepped into the highest degree of bodily strength, so that he was able to carry as great a load as any porter that had been as long used to it as he had been disused. He, who this minute was not able to turn himself in his bed, the next minute was table to carry his bed.
Friend, by the command of His word, you will rise above every limitation and your story shall be turned to glory in Jesus name.
Enjoy your day!

Personal Confession: Father, l receive grace to rise above every limitation, darkness and challenges in life in Jesus' name.
