The PoolA Chapter by M La MellzThis chapter is based on John 4 KJV
There is a song that I really like and it is now
became one of my favorite song. This song shows up in my heart frequently when I'm feeling down and troubled! Than when I sing this song, my hopes are revived! It says "Seasons for everything, you may Cry, you may Mourn, you may Wheep, you may be Sad, Don't dispare cause Joy comes in the Morning!" Okay enough about me, let us go to the Holy Book of God! John 4:4-7 KJV "4. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me." You know, It is sad that we are living in the times where each one of us has hundreds of neighbors but we can only recognize a few and we don't know non of them closely, why? It is because of our Pride dresses that we wear in these times of independence. Verse 7 says "The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me." Mind you, the Bible says in verse 3. "In these lay a great multitude" and YES "of impotent folk," The Bible says some were "of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water." Do you realize that everyone who was there around the pool was a neighbor of this man? And even those who came in and got healed while he was there, they were once his neighbor, waiting there with him but they left him there suffering? Brethren We are living in the world that is so full of sin and we are impotent because of sin. But as impotent as we are, God placed neighbors on our nearest doors and He didn't end there. He than placed a commandment that we shall love our neighbors as we love ourselves! As much as we want to get in the pool and get healed, likewise with our neighbors, they are impotent as we are and also want to be saved, and I believe that there is noway we can do that besides loving one another because God said so. In these times of Independence, God still teaches us how to love and how to obey! God will always make sure that you need someone that is next to you. You see the person that is sitting next to you right now? Is your brother, your sister, those people are the ones who will adopt and raise your child when you decided to that baby in the bin! They are same people who will raise your kids when you and sweetheart are no more, when your kids are given a name "Orphans", they are ones who become their parents and their lovers without any doubts! The person that is sitting in front opposite or back opposite, that person is your future business partner, your Lawyer, Doctor, even your Counselor. That person may be your Brother in-law, Sister in-law, Mother in-law, Father in-law, Husband, even your Wife, a Mother of your kids! So brethren, don't disrespect someone that is sitting next to you, young or old, male or female, love and respect that person for we are all of a blessed Hand of God! © 2016 M La Mellz |
