FAITH CAPSULE: Are you experiencing stagnation in any form?

Mark 10:46-52

Stagnation is a state or condition marked by a lack of flow, movement, or development.
Is stagnation the situation that you recognized or not?
Stagnation is not of God but of the enemy of God.
In the place of stagnation, it is time to call on Jesus for His divine intervention.
Mark 10:46-47 records, as Jesus went out of Jericho, “…with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 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!”  
The blindness of Bartimaeus placed him in stagnation. 
With blindness, there will be no sight for one to see when there is a need to take the right direction. 
When one does not see such will remain stagnated, limited not to make desired choices in all areas of choice.
Blind Bartimaeus stagnated and had his place on the roadside to live as a beggar.
One with blindness in the physical eyes is so in the spiritual eyes. 
Blind Bartimaeus makes the roadside his office.
He was popular enough to be identified by his father (Timaeus).
He was blind with no sign of sight.
Bartimaeus could not see. 
Roadside serving as an avenue for transformation for many is the same road where blind Bartimaeus remained stagnated with no transportation in his life to become transformed.
Are you experiencing stagnation in any form in the journey of your life? 
In any form of stagnation, it is time you call on Jesus for His divine intervention. 
Thank God for the blood of Jesus shed on the Calvary. 
The shedding of the blood of Jesus has made Jesus everywhere at every time and ready to answer every call. 
During the days of blind Bartimaeus, while Jesus was moving from one location to another location, blind Bartimaeus was in a position to encounter Jesus when he cried out loud for mercy.
It could be time you identify and accept that your condition needs a loud cry to Jesus for His visitation of your life. 
When you cry out to Jesus, ignore the multitude from keeping you quiet. When you cry, call Jesus out as One you know, not you only know about. There is a difference between knowing Jesus from knowing about Jesus. Bartimaeus demonstrated that he did not just know about Jesus when he called out Jesus with knowledge. 
Bartimaeus knew to cry out as he stated, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 
In the calling of Bartimaeus, “…Jesus stood still and commanded Him to be called” (Mark 10:49) 
Blind Bartimaeus received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. (Mark 10:52)
Bartimaeus came out of stagnation to become a follower of Jesus. Knowing Jesus is to believe Him to break all causes of stagnation.

Prayer for today: Know God to ask for open the eyes of your heart.
