TOPIC: Help From The Son (DCLM Daily Manna 20 March 2022)
TEXT: Matthew 9:27-38 (KJV)
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
KEY VERSE: “And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.” – (Matthew 9:27)
MESSAGE:
What admirable quality do we find in the Lord? What moves Him to command miracles and signs and wonders into our lives? What does He see in us that automatically make heaven to come to our aid when we call on Him? Many questions with one answer: the Lord loves the redeemed who recognise and honour the messiahship of His Son and seek Him from that hallowed standpoint. He grants such petitions speedily.
Therefore, when two blind men needed healing from Jesus Christ, they backed up their quest by appealing to Him as the Son of David. It was a prophetic appellation that pleased the Lord because it revealed their faith in His connection to the undeniable power of God. Thus, they were healed according to their faith that Jesus, the Messiah, could heal them.
Getting to know the Lord enhances our worship. While we worship the holy Lord, we present our requests in line with His will. Answer from heaven is guaranteed when we trust in Him. God is always willing to help us more than anyone on earth can. He is delighted to see us ask for His help.
We are at liberty any time to take advantage of this unfailing provision to access heaven and receive answers to our petitions and passionate requests. All categories of men who desire God’s intervention will get what they want if they go to Him the right way, worshipping in faith that honours His Son’s name. We can also apply the name of Jesus to rise above all challenges of life. Why wait any longer? Take advantage of your knowledge of the Son to obtain your desire by faith.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God honours our requests in the name of His Son.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
