Daily Manna 27 August
KEY VERSE: “And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” – (Mark 10:48)
TEXT: Mark 10:46-52
46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.
Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.”
50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.
51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

Kenneth E. Hagin was a man who saw a lot of miracles in his life and ministry. He was healed of three medically incurable diseases before the age of 18. He was a man favoured by many revelations in visions in which the Lord Jesus Christ Himself spoke directly to him. In one of those encounters, the Lord reportedly told him –
“I weep for my children because they suffer unnecessarily. They pray, they cry, but if the answer is delayed, they give up. They ought not to give up since the answer will definitely come. O, how I long to help them, but I cannot break my Word”.
Blind Bartimaeus sat begging by the roadside when Jesus was passing by. It was a lifetime opportunity for him to receive his sight from the Lord. So he cried out with all his strength. But surprisingly, many charged him to keep quiet, “but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (verse 48). His cry and desperation attracted the attention of Christ who called him and healed him.
Perseverance is the key to success. Blind Bartimaeus would have lost the privilege of receiving his sight if he had not persevered. The Syrophenician woman would not have received the deliverance of her daughter from demonic oppressions if she had not persevered. (Matthew 15:22-28).
The woman with the issue of blood in spite of her physical weakness meandered through the crowd to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment and was healed.
The Lord Jesus instructs believers to pray without ceasing or fainting. What are you asking from God? What are the desires of your heart? Take them to God in prayer, hold on to His promises affirmatively until the answer comes. Jabez turned his situation around, you can turn yours as well. Never give up. Persevere!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Only those who persevere achieve their goals.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 39-43
