Topic: Divine Appointment
Text: John 9:1-7

Our text reveals something deep and refreshing. The import of today’s lesson is this: God brings out His best when men think they have done their worst against you. The devil thought that he had sealed the fate of the man who was born blind. He must have concluded that congenial blindness was impossibility. God proved him wrong. Here is a dramatic but a miraculous story: Jesus Christ and His disciples saw this man who was born blind and the disciples asked whether it was the man that sinned or his parents. Jesus Christ said that neither the manor his parents sinned but his blindness was for the works of God to be glorified in him.

There is another example in John 5:1-9. There was this man by the pool of Bethesda who could not enter the water to be healed. He had been trying to jump into the pool without any success because there was no one to help him. One day, Jesus came by and went straight to this man and asked whether he wanted to be made whole. The man thought that the best that Jesus could do was to throw him into the pool. Jesus Christ told him to rise, take his bed and go home.

There is also the story of Daniel in Daniel 6. The enemy focused on him and wanted to get rid of him. They took him and threw him into the lions’ den, thinking they had got rid of him. The following morning, the one who was supposed singled out for destruction was brought out alive. All those who plotted against him and their families became food for the lions. When the enemy thinks that you are singled out for a problem, the Almighty God will hold you singled out for a miracle. Never mind what the devil is doing, God is on the throne. He will perform such outstanding miracle that would be to the eternal shame of the devil. I pray that God will give you a divine appointment today.
