FAITH CAPULE: Focus is the secret of failure impossibility
Luke 5:17-26
Whenever the Word is present to heal and to deliver, the world’s agent will present itself to kill and to deny healing. However, the enemy cannot be more powerful to stop one that maintains focus to receive healing from the Words presence. It is written, “Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.” (Luke 5:17) At every appearance of Jesus (the Word) healing is also present. The presence of the Word brought a paralyzed man to seek for healing. On that certain day as mentioned in the scriptural verse above, crowd was the agent of healing denial on ground. It is written concerning the paralyzed man that needed healing, “And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.” (Luke 5:19) The carriers refused to acknowledge the hindrance. They did not give attention to what they were seeing on the ground because they came with expectation for a manifestation. They were confident of what they wanted when they let the paralytic down through the tiling of the ceiling. There was no doubt at any level of their need for his healing. The carriers maintained their focus on the objective (expectation). Focus was the factor for their faith. Focus is the secret of failure impossibility; focus is the central point of attention. Focus is what will produce a clear necessary image unto distance from any point. In using a camera to take picture, when there is no focus there will be no good picture. In expectation for a miracle, when there is no focus there will be no manifestation. The paralyzed man and his carrier had faith and focus was a fuel that drives their faith to manifestation. The Bible recorded, “When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” (Luke 5: 20) The faith that tore the roof will prevail in provoking the hand of God to move and the crowd to fail. The faith that tore the roof provoked Jesus to give a command stating, “…I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” (Luke 5:24) Those who brought the paralytic denied the crowd by faith and the paralytic walked away from stagnation.
Prayer for today:God will give you the grace to deny every hand of the crowd in all that concerns you and your stagnation will be converted into motion in the name of Jesus.
