"And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus thou son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace, but he cried the more a great deal..." Mark 10:47-48
You are familiar with the story from which the above scripture was coined out I assume. As a way of reminding you: that's the account of blind Batimeus who beg alms by the road, guess you can remember now. We live in world where the majority has left fate to direct their course of life, even amongst the body of Christ. This shouldn't be.
Jesus is word! That is to say that accepting Jesus is accepting the word life. Therefore, if you weren't the talking type before you accepted Christ, you must become one. Believer live by words. Jesus said in Matt 4:4 that man I.e. the believer shall not leave by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of God's mouth. Believers are talkers.
You can't be quiet and get anything out of life as a Christian. May be you have been too quiet hitherto, start talking your way to the top. What you say is what you'll get or become. If you will vividly analyse your life now, you'll agree with me that you have come as far as your words have come or gone.
The blind man in our text understood this principle I am sharing with you today and took advantage of it. When others passed he begged for alms but when Jesus passed he changed is approach. Now the people around tried to stop him just like some people are trying to talk your life down and out today but he wouldn't just take it; he cried the more. Instead of keeping quiet, please cry the more a great deal. Did it pay off for him? Yes!
"And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called...." Mark 10:49
I see Jesus standing still for you now! Making positive confession even in the face of trouble pays a great deal. The three Hebrew boys in Daniel 3 confessed their escape from the fiery furnace before it happened. Don't stop talking faith, Jesus is faith! He will come through for you.
Have a great day.
