TRAPPED AT THE TRACK?
John 5:1-9

Promises of God are written all over the pages of the Bible. Above all, to inherit any of His promises every believer of His word will have to be in the right position. In every area of life, being in the right position at the right timing of God is equal to possessing possessions. However, it is not impossible to be at the right position and miss the right of possessing one’s possession. In other words, it is possible for a man to be at the right track in the race track of life and remain trapped.  To be trapped is to remain stagnated in a position or situation where there is no motion. An example of being on the right track and getting trapped can be seen in the life of a certain man with infirmity of thirty eight years. The man with infirmity lay by the Sheep Gate, a pool, just like all the other people that were looking for healing and a way out of stagnation of life into motion. It was mentioned that there were many and different kinds of diseases that were waiting for the move of water, “For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.” (John 5:4) Many must have been receiving their healing while that certain man’s healing continued to elude him. He was there at the water of healing, the water was there for him but he was not there for the water to heal him. The position of healing denied him while he could not deny the forces that kept him stagnated. In the coming days, weeks, and months God has made available an abundance of grace for every one of His children to posses. In possessing your possession, the position you have taken could fail you like that certain man with infirmity. In your position, rise and do not lay in waiting so that the name of the Lord can be glorified in your life. Thank God for Jesus in the life of that particular man. “When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”” (John 5:6) Thank God for Jesus because He came to give us abundant life. In gaining possession there is always an evidence of being at the right position at the right time. In your position, be awake, pay attention, be expectant, and do not allow lying down to deny you your position to posses.
