THROWING OFF THE OUTER GARMENT
THROWING OFF THE OUTER GARMENT
MEMORY VERSE: - Mark 10:49-50 - "And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you. [50] And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus." (AMPC)
There are things in one's life that are not necessarily needed for the next level God is taking him or her to. Things that will become a huge distraction, things that can slow down your speed in life, things that can hinder you from reaching your goal. Those things must be cast away.
Blind Bartimaeus for many years of his blindness was wearing a particular garment that has become a part of his blindness story and an identity for him. But when he heard about Jesus passing by, he cried out for help.
He was tired of being blind and was desperate for a new life of having his sights back. And whatever that will slow him down or would be a hindrance to his going to receive his miracle must be cast off.
Therefore, when Jesus paid attention to his call and asked him to come, he immediately cast away, or threw off his outer garment. Desperate things required desperate measures. He was not going to allow that old garment to stand in his way, he wasn't going to be slowed down nor be obstructed by that outer garment and so, he cast it away from him.
Child of God, for you to move forward in life you must throw out your outer garment of bad attitude, cast away your outer garment of malicious behaviour, unruly character, anger, bad habits and anything that is not going to be needed anymore in the level God is bringing you into. You must throw off all those things that will not allow you to move faster and that which will be an obstacle to you in your journey of destiny.
Listen, No one counseled blind Bartimaeus to cast off that outer garment but he was sensitive enough to know that it was not needed anymore in his life because it was time for New Beginning. You also need to be smart and sensitive to recognise those things that are not of value to your next level and throw them out.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord for your Word, and today, I throw off every outer garment of old nature that will limit me from reaching the dimension that I have been ordained for in the name of Jesus, Amen.
