May the power of God be seen in you

“AS Jesus was walking along, He saw a man who had been blind from birth. ‘Rabbi,’ His disciples asked Him, ‘Why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?’”

“‘It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,’ Jesus answered. ‘This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.’” — John 9:1-3

Generally, in life, there are certain struggles that people associate with some kind of curse or punishment.

People want to use fact.

However, the truth supersedes fact. Our truth, as children of God, is based on what the Lord said in His word concerning our situation.

It was a fact that Sarah was barren, but was that the truth? The truth was that she was the mother of nations.

It was a fact that Lazarus was dead, but the truth was that Christ is life — and Lazarus was going to rise from the dead.

One could imagine that people were starting to say Lazarus was dead because his family was cursed or because Mary and Martha were no longer loved by Jesus.

God is not even moved by people’s perception of you. He is actually moved by what He said about you in His word.

Jesus answered: “This happened so the power of God could be seen in Him.”

Sarah, you are a mother of nations, period! This delay is not in any way linked to some curses, it is to the glory of God.

The angel of the Lord is coming to tell you “same time next year”.

May the power of God be seen in you.

God is able to do exceedingl­y beyond what you can think or ask, according to the power that is at work in you.

I pray for divine interventi­on in your life. May God touch you and make you well.

If you believe, say amen, for we walk not by sight, but by faith.
