TOPIC: You Need A Eye Drop
BIBLE TEXT-: John 1 verse 1 - 5
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it
In the actual sense of it, when the bible says that the light shines in darkness and darkness has not overcome it
It simply means that darkness cannot understand it
Darkness is yet to figure out the source and the power of that light
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,Now the earth was formless and empty, note darkness was over the surface of the deep
In other words, a life in the state of darkness is formless and empty
Empty as in non productive, no increase, no product, no progress
And God said “Let there be light and there was light
God saw that the light was good - thats a new beginning right there
You will notice following that scripture downwards that everything God created was done in the light time period and nothing done in the dark period
This tell you today, that in the state life of darkness, in the consciousness of sin and sin living lifestyle - you can’t be productive
A blind man lives in the state of darkness and since he can’t see things with his eyes - it will be very difficult for him to arrange things together to look good or nice
But the moment, he regains his sight, he enjoys a new lifestyle, he can arrange things together
Lets study the figure of a blind man, very amazing figure to use to describe our life and ways
A blind man can’t see the beautiful choices right in front of him
Yes he can feel it , but he can’t see them
A blind man can hear the sound of rejoicing, but he can’t see what to rejoice about
A blind man is limited, he has a distance limit
A blind man can hear the sound of evil and danger approaching but he doesn’t know where to run to
A blind man is limited by sight and this affects his choices
In life, the consciousness of sin and the absence of the word of God which is the life and light to men deprives you of a new beginning
The moment a blind man regains his sight, a new beginning starts for him
He is enabled with a wondrous potential in making good choices
He becomes productive
He is active and progressive
He is fearless, He becomes powerful, He enjoys a new beginning
He is enabled to start putting things in order and making good progress in life
He enjoys many earthly benefits
He can move around freely
He can’t be cheated, because his sight gives him power to make choices
To enjoy a new beginning, you have to come out of the state of blindness
The lifestyle of sin makes you blind
The consciousness of your past makes you blind
The absence of the word of God in your life makes you blind
A new beginning is joyful, a new beginning is the absence of fear, your past and your sins
A new beginning is a new life
A life of victory, a life of the supernatural
A life of glory and endless blessings
A life of wonder
To enjoy that life, you need to cure that blind eye
You need to regain your sight
Growing up there is this eye drop one gets to use when you have Apollo, or any eye troubles and it clears your eyes to see properly again
Or for those that can see but can’t see clearly, glasses is recommended to them and before you know it - they see clearly
Listen God’s word is a eye opener / Psalm 119 verse 18
Listen God’s word is a magnifier / Psalm 138 verse 1-3
Perhaps you fall into this bracket, you need your eyes opened, you need to cure your blind eye - take this eye drop
Take in the word of God today, Embrace his love this moment or embrace his love again
Once your blind eyes is opened, you’re sure of a new beginning
A new life of wonders and blessings
Amen…..
