Attitude That Changes All Thing



Attitude That Changes All Things               
Believing you can do it gives you a new feeling, that relieves you of a lot of worries. My dear, are you downcast and you feel that there is no way out of your problem. I tell you, that is a lie, there is a way that leads to the desires of your heart, if only you agree with me and put on a new attitude. Yes the attitude that changes all things, for all being, at all times.
Recently, I conquered a problem that had weighed me down for about 24 months. I never realized that the solution will begin to come in once I change my attitude to the problem. You know the saying that says oh Lord help me to change what I can and also to realize that which I can’t, that was just the case. As I began to relieve myself of the worries that follows that problem, my mind began to clear and solutions start flooding through my mind. I, then tactically and consciously followed the solutions that came to me and before I know what was happening, behold I had won and easily achieved the victory that was rightfully mine.
Let's examine the life of the blind Bartimaeus of Mark 10:48. That guy had attitude, though poor and blind he

 had an attitude. It is his attitude that made him beg and to cry out “ Jesus, son of David, I know your 

lineage; I know you’re a covenant man, have mercy on me”. He trusted Jesus can meet  his needs, that he can change his condition and grant him his heart desires. That even when the crowd continues to tell him to shut up, the louder he shouts. He had an attitude, he refused to stay in his condition, he needs a new beginning, he wants to see, he needs to break out of poverty. He didn’t allow anybody to get in his way. This faith, this perseverance, this attitude made Jesus to stand still and asked that Bartimaeus be brought to him. They brought him and Jesus healed him. And guess what, the people that discouraged him said? Be of comfort, he is calling you. This is people in all cases, they say this today, tomorrow they will say another thing is only left for you to know what you want and go for it.

A lot of things can be attitude, happiness, joy, hard work, optimistic, good manner, loyal and so on. It is good that good attitude is part of us for good result.
Today, dear friend, pick up an attitude that changes everything for your good, it is never too late, make the decision, walk on it and you will see everything turning around for your good, for attitude is everything.   


When Jesus Wants To Work



When Jesus Wants To Work
When the time comes for something to happen, that thing must surely happen no matter what. There is no force on this planet that can stop the time destined for something when the appropriate time comes. No wonder the Ecclesiasties (3 :1-8) says that there is time for everything: time to make merriment and time to mourn, time to build and time to destroy, time to plant and time to uproot.
Though, prayer and faith changes a lot of things and people always tell you that faith is a special ingredient needed for the speedy answer to your prayers, but then there are situations that have proved that God does what He wants at His own time.
Let’s examine the life of the invalid, the Bible says at the pool of Bethsaida. This pool have the tradition of stirring once a year and whosoever that enters first will be healed instantly. So because of this, a great number of disabled people: the blind, lame, and the paralyzed lie about the pool for their healing. Then on this faithful day, Jesus was passing and saw him lying there. Jesus learnt  that he had been in this condition for a long time, He asked him “Do you want to get well?” “sir” the invalid replied “I have no one to help me get into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” This man’s case is not the case of him calling Jesus to heal him. No, rather Jesus himself saw him, learned of him and passionately wants to heal him; for somehow his time for getting whole has come.
The passage didn’t tell us that the invalid seeks out for instant healing, rather he complained of his inability to help himself get whole when the pool is stirred. Again, the passage didn’t tell us that Jesus had concern for his level of faith but for the man getting whole. Then Jesus said to him “get up! Pick up your mat and walk”. At once the man was cured, he picked up his mat and walked. This is a miracle, a Sunday miracle. Jesus didn’t mind whether the man asked for it, neither did He mind that that very day was a Sunday. He did it; He healed him of an eight-year sickness. And see the good news about this healing, the man who was healed was later found in the temple where he recognized that it was Jesus that healed him and told the Jews so; bringing about the spreading of the gospel of Jesus. Glory to God.
