A CRY OF FAITH

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Mark 10:47

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Additional Verses

📖 Matthew 15:21-28; Mark 10:46-52; Galatians 5:22-26

A cry of faith will destroy every barrier between you and your salvation, deliverance, healing or blessing. When you communicate with God in prayer, you must do so only to be heard by God alone. Never allow your immediate circumstances to distract you. Bartimaeus had been a beggar all his life but when he heard that it was the Savior passing by, he cried out for his salvation. His cry was not just a cry of desperation, but it was a cry of faith. He called out to Jesus Christ in a way which the religious leaders who had eyes to see were not doing. He had the revelation that Jesus Christ was the Son of David and therefore He was the Messiah come from God to redeem the world. Isaiah 35:5-6 says, “Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf, unstopped. Then will the lame would leap like a deer and the mute tongue shout for joy.” Bartimaeus therefore knew the hour of his visitation and he went on to act upon it defying all barriers. It was also the same with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28. She pleaded with the Savior for her daughter to be saved. When Jesus Christ told her that He was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the woman never gave up at all. Instead, she kept on worshipping Jesus Christ to deliver her daughter. Even when He said to her, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs”, the woman replied, “Yes Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” She kept on asking until Jesus Christ said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Many people miss the hour of their visitation just because when they communicate in prayer, they are not at all sincere. They do so as if to test God. They are not patient to wait for God to respond at His perfect time. It is actually your faith in God that is tested and not for you to test God. Many people are patient enough to spend hours in queue for a loaf of bread or at the bank, but they are not patient enough to wait for God to respond to their prayer request. Abraham, the father of faith waited for a good twenty - five years before he received the promised child. Today I am encouraging you to cultivate in yourself the virtue of patience, in order for you not to miss the hour of your visitation. Alleluia!

Prayer

Increase in me faith and the virtue of patience Father so that I may not miss the hour of my visitation. I thank You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
