TOPIC: O”GO, WASH…”
TEXT: JOHN 9:1-9
1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
Key Verse: “And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing” (John 9:7).
MESSAGE:
Jesus Christ healed people in different ways. Some got healed as soon as He declared them healed. He healed Peter’s mother-in-law of fever by merely touching her. For the woman with an issue of blood, she received her healing by touching the hem of Jesus’ garment.
But the blind man in our text today had to go and wash in the pool of Siloam, to confirm his healing, though Jesus had anointed his eyes with clay. What would you say healed the man, the clay or the water? Neither of them, it was simply his faith and obedience to Jesus’ instruction.
The Bible is the word of God. It contains instruction for life, and for great possibilities. Obedience to what God’s word says is the key to solving life’s problems. By it, we can successfully walk with God and receive our expected miracles.
When the wine finished at the marriage in Cana of Galilee, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was there. More wine was needed; she knew that Jesus was indeed the Son of God and can do all things. She spoke to Him about it; also, she told the servants, “Whatsoever he saith, do it”. They did exactly what Jesus said, and water turned to wine.
Forgiveness of sins, righteousness, purity of heart, direction in life, miracles, healing, deliverance, provision, victory, wisdom, protection, and many uncommon blessings follow obedience to the word of God. Therefore, come to Jesus, trust and obey.
Prayer: Dear Lord, give me power to trust and obey Your Word.

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)
