And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.”Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.” (Mark 8:22-26)
Oftentimes when hear of this Bible Story, a lot of perceptions comes to mind? A lot of question comes to mind. Like Why didn't the man had His instance healing for the first time?, Was Jesus powers Limited? this goes on and on. But, the truth of the matter is Jesus powers wasn't limited, but needed to test the faith of the man and the people around as well. we see Jesus performing miracles in so many ways and are instant miracles, but this time round, it didn't happen that way. The man was asked to Take A second look". This has been my motivation for today,Take a Second look".
why was it necessary for the man to take a second look?
Before miracles can happen there must be faith, so does Success. The man could have easily move away from Jesus because he had heard a lot about Jesus doing wonders, But why Has he failed me this time, why didn't i had my instant healing for the first time?, he increased his faith that, let me just Obey the words of My lord, So he took a Second look and this time round, he sees clearly.
Many have failed in life because they didn't take a second look, we always wish things go on well for us for the first time, so when fail or it didn't work out for us, then we give up by not trying/looking for the second time.
Am here to encourage you this morning, that you have tried for so many times, you have applied for uncountable number of jobs, failed in your exams, business not going on well, burden with sickness. you named it, but you can comprehend the power second look, like the blind man when things seems not to be clearer, he had faith in Jesus and he was healed from his blindness. Brethren, if you can develop the attitude of Taking a second look, things will be clearer as you wish. My Lord is here to give you rest from your troubles. Just take a second look, Just take a second look, just take a second look.
This morning, before you decide to lose faith, take a Second look and god is there to make things be clear.
You are what you think, and thinking makes you who you are.
God bless You and Wish you a wonderful morning.
