John 9:1-23

A man who was blind from his motherÕs womb was at his regular position of begging and mockery when JesusÕ passing by brought him out of his blindness. Many times Jesus has passed by you and He is still passing by, but you could not receive your deliverance from what has kept you grounded for years. Your inability to receive is not because Jesus has stopped in His passing by; it is because you have failed to enter into His commandment. Most times, His commandment will sound foolish. It may make you look stupid, but the bottom line is there are direction, deliverance and breakthrough in His commandment. Jesus saw the blind man from birth. He approached him. He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay (John 9:6). After Jesus had contacted the blind man, He then gave him a command. John 9:7, ÒAnd He said to Him, ÔGo, wash in the pool of SiloamÕ (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.Ó This blind man was unlike the Syrian army commander, Naaman, Elisha sent to wash at < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Jordan. Naaman was reluctant and furious for going to such a low standard river. He delayed his going and his miracle was delayed. The blind man, however, did not question Jesus. He went and washed and he gained sight. Stagnation ceased in his life and he saw where he has not been seeing since birth. His neighbors questioned his healing. Ridicule ceased and above all, direction became clear because there was sight in place. The secret of the blind manÕs miracle was he became submissive to the command that brought his healing. There is also direction in obeying His command. Lord give me the grace for obedience that I may receive sight for breakthrough.
