THE MAN AT THE POOL OF BETHESDA [JOSHUA 5:1-15]



From the Book of TB Joshua-The Mirror
Believe in Christ Jesus Redeems our time
 
“Here great number of disabled people used to lie – the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been invalid for their thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in his condition for a long time, he asked him, ‘Do you want to get there well?’ ‘Sir, the invalid replied, ‘I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. When I’m trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.’ Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get Up! Pick up your mat and walk.’
At once a man was cured: he picked up his mat and walked… (John 5:3-9)
The man at the pool of Bethesda was under helpless for many years. Imagine a crippled man, struggling to enter the pool for many years. Imagine the hazard of weather conditions. Remember, when it was raining or sunny, he was there.
When it was raining, it was extremely cold. When it was sunny, it was extremely hot and he was always there. He waited for God’s appointed time. At God’s appointed time, he was healed without any person efforts. You will be healed today. You will be free today. You will be delivered today, without any person efforts.
When he was looking to someone to carry him inside the pool, no one appeared. The Bible says, each time the angel stirred the water, other people jumped into the pool. The crippled man was there, helplessly, looking, listening to the testimonies of other people. He was not discouraged.
If this man was looked on the outside, he could have considered many things. What about all the healing he had seen? What about another people stepped into the water before him? What about those who were healed but not been there as long as he had been?  He could have said: “I’m going to the native doctor!” He could given up. He had nobody to help him into the pool but that was looking on the outside. When he looks on the outside of your situation, it becomes bigger than what you can handle leading to fear, worry and anxiety.
If he was influence by the happening around, he would have given up. However, he maintained his calm for many years-under rainfall, sunshine, cold nights, mosquito bites, e.t.c. Can someone who runs after Jesus for selfish reasons keep pressing under these kinds of conditions? The answer is NO! He kept pressing because he saw beyond his travails.
He believed that if only he could dip himself into the pool, he would make whole. While waiting by the side of the pool, the Bible says, he heard many testimonies. Many others were healed in his presence. He was there lying with no one to help him but he was not discouraged. He saw many miracles happen to many others but there was one thing he believed in - God’s time.

PRAYER POINT
Today is your encounter with Jesus. Jesus is on His way to you – He is coming purposely for you. He is only a moment away.
