Sunday Service ; 11th Nov - Stop of Stagnation

John 1- 9

What is Bathesda.

Bathseda is a pool with 5 porches...
Bathesda stand for Mercy and 5 is number of grace..

This is the church.. A place of mercy and grace.

There in Bathesda, you have the impotent in all manners of things... The blind and the disillusioned.

Bathseda does not reject anyone.. Now will you get mercy and grace though it has been made abundantly available.


We that already have mercy and grace should show this to those that are yet to see when they come to the house of God.

Who are we to condemn others when we are yet to look like HIM...

Your process of looking like HIM is being like him that gives mercy and favour to all that come to him in faith.

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. (John 5:7)

This man was striving for opportunity in a place of limited opportunity. Note there are only 5 porches and 1 main pool. The pool can only take 6 at a time.
Note this person has no support system.. He said he had nobody.

Stagnation thrives when there is no support system. No network.
Network is not just about business network, even in your prayer life.

Note iron sharpeneth iron.

This man was waiting for 38year.. And claimed he had no man. He abandoned his future into the hand of a man or a woman who did and may never come.

The world will not give onto you what you wish for but what you demand..

If not for Christ, this man would have died for ever waiting. Jesus broke the yoke in his life...

Note Jesus, did not lay his hand on him or prayed for or with him...

He simply said to him ... RISE...

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. (John 5:8)

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. (John 5:9)

But this man has been complaining he has never been able to rise..

Jesus simply spoke to the potential in this man. Jesus knew this man can rise on his own and spoke to that that is in him...

Jesus is our energiser... You need to rise..

Do not tie your miracle to that of others and expecting them to lift you to your position. You will have to stand up.

God created us to work in networks, but not to depend on anyone..

The man's mindset has held him down for 38 years..

Jesus made him to realize he does not need to get into the pool, he just needed to RISE, RISE, RISE and make your desire a reality. He needed to stir up the pool in his belly not wait for anyone.

The potential of Christ is already in you, he has been speaking unto you.

Do not wait for any angel to stir a pool, stir the pool within you..

Stir a pool inside you... Out of you comes streams of living water..

You will give streamingly to others not just for yourself.

Look up not to man..

I will look up onto heaven... Where cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord... Who is where?... Inside of me. Stir up your pool...

Note... When you stir up your pool, there are fights to be fought, but He has already conquered on your behalf.

Have a blessed day...
