had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you
want to be made well?”

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
TODAY,
THAT AREA OF YOUR LIFE THAT NEEDS A TURNING POINT ENCOUNTER WILL RECEIVE DIVINE
ATTENTION, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
THE MESSAGE:
God is the author of turning point in the life of man. We learnt
this in the life of Abraham yesterday. Similarly, when the whole world fell
into the captivity of satan and sin, God orchestrated a turning point by giving
His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for man's redemption.
A turning point refers to a junction, location or time when
change occurs. A turning point could be positive or negative. But as a child of
God whose hope and confidence is in God, may you experience a positive
turnaround, in the name of Jesus. A turning point is often birthed by a divine
encounter. There are several instances of turning point in the Bible.
There was divine turning point when God commanded light to
appear and it did (Genesis 1:3). The miraculous deliverance of lsrael from
Egypt was a turning point in the history of the Israelites. When a sinner is
converted and becomes a saint, it is a turning point encounter. Paul's
conversion on the road to Damascus was a major turning point in his life (Acts
9). When the sick experience divine healing and are made whole, it is divine
turning point. The man that Jesus healed at the Pool of Bethesda after 38 years
of infimity (John 5:5-8) and the demoniac of Gadara who Jesus restored (Mark
5:25-28) are beneficiaries of divine turning point. There is also turning point
when sorrow turns to joy as in the case of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:9-10), when
lack becomes plenty (2 Kings 4: 1-7), when failure becomes success (Luke 5:4-6)
and when a "nobody" becomes prominent as in the story of Joseph; and
when a destiny is restored and aligned for fulfilment as was the case of Jacob
at Peniel. You will agree with me that divine turning point is desirable. I
pray that you will experience it today, in the name of Jesus.
Beloved, to qualify for a turning point encounter, you need to
do the following: (1) Give your life to Jesus Christ (2) Love, study and live
by the word of God (3) Be a worshipper and be prayerful (4) Be obedient to God.
Peter obeyed Jesus in John 5:4-6 and the woman of Zarephath obeyed Elijah. (5)
Be a sacrificial giver (6) Live a holy lifestyle. (7) Have faith in God.
