THE LAMP DEVOTION

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 25

FOR GOD’S GLORY ONLY

John 9:1-5

_Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”_

There are so many things that were a problem to the disciples and the world to which Jesus came. Here was a man who was born blind. The disciples asked if the man was blind because of his sins and that of his parents. It is possible that some in the community had even concluded that it was the man’s parents who committed sin which brought consequences to their son.

Jesus had to correct the thinking first for the disciples and second the community. Jesus said it was not the man nor his parents but that the whole issue was to eventually bring glory to God. We all know the end of the story. Jesus healed the man and that sparked controversy because He healed him on the sabbath.

Can we conclude that every sick person around is sick so that the works of God be revealed in him? These are difficult questions. What we can see however is that God’s commitment to heal the sick in our midst continues; and yes, anytime anyone receives miraculous healing, God’s glory is revealed.

Jesus has made us light of the world to continue the works He did. If we seek God’s glory to be revealed, we can guarantee His intervention in the challenges we bring before Him in prayer. Let God’s glory fill the earth as the waters cover the sea.

Prayer
1. Thank God for His willingness to show Himself strong if we create the conditions.
2. Pray that you will be a vessel God can use to heal and deliver people.
3. Father, please help make myself more available to my people.

Declarations
I declare that God is the same yesterday, tomorrow and forever. He continues to work miracles in the lives of those who believe. I believe and so I expect Him to work miracles in my life and through me. I declare that in every unpleasant situation I face, I now see potential for God’s glory to be revealed in the name of Jesus.
