UTILISE WHAT IS LEFT
THE SEED
“…Blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway begging. And when he heard
that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out..” Mark 10:46-47 KJV
In search of what is lost, you need to draw strength from what is left. Unfortunately,
many focus so much on what is lost so much that they are blinded by the opportunities opened to them to do great things with what they have.
In the above scripture, Bartimaeus, a blind man, pulled strength from what he had by
making use of his voice and legs to seek deliverance from his state of blindness. Also, Naaman a honourable man, great and mighty man of valour, a commander in the army, through whom God gave his nation many victories in war against their enemies, he was a leper. (1King 5:1).
Naaman was physically challenged, but he was mentally sound such that he was the war
strategist of his nation. Naaman had to pay less attention to his challenge (what was lost) but
rather focused on his ambition and determination.
People may point you to your weakness than to your strength; they can also use your
deficiency against you than use your strength for you. It is your responsibility to work on the
areas of your strength and project them in such a way that you are never intimidated by your
weakness. Be productive with what you have. Don’t be stopped by what you lack.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, give me the grace to focus on what I have left in Jesus name. Amen
