- From the Text of Today we can see the complexity of the life of a man called Blind Bartimaeus: in verse 4 the Bible made us to understand 1. He was blind to the extent that Blind became part fo his name.
- Probably he was born blind and never saw the sun or colour for one day
- He was or dwelled in Jericho a place of hinderance - The walls of Jericho. A terrible place Man going from Jerusalem to Jericho encountered robbers. They beat him almost half to death.
- He was a Beggar: Poor dependant, could not make ends meet. No Association etc.
- In the midst of his complexity, challanges, Problem or what have you? Blind Bartimaeus decieded and determined Never to Give Up.
From Scriptural Referance There are 5 Things that Blind Bartimaeus Never gave Up on. Therefore by the Principles of Application they are also the 5 Things you must Not Give Up on in life.
- Your Vision: Despite that Blind Bartimaeus was blind he saw in his heart that one day he is going to see.
- This is why when the oppurtunity came he did not miss it
- Do not give up on your God given Vision in life.
- No matter how rough keep persuing your God given Vision
- Your vision is your future your alternate destination
- The truth you have heard
- Don't give up on the truth you have heard
- In Mk 10:47 The Bible sais when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth.
- Jesus is the Truth Jn 14:6 ''Jesus said to him i am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me''
- Jn 8:32 says''And you shall know the truth an the truth shall make you free''
- Jn 8:36 says ''Therefore if the son makes you free you shall be free indeed.
- The word of God is also the Truth Jn 8:31-32
- Jesus is the word of God that became flesh Jn 1:1,14. Verse 14 says''And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we behold his glory,the glory of the only begotten of the father,full of grace and truth''
- So in this Life you must not give yp on Jesus and the word of God.
- Jesus must become your personal Lord and saviour
- You must continously and consistanlly heard, read and study the word of God which is the bible.
- Cry Out: Never give up or cry out a. In Mk 10:47 the Bible said that when Blind Bartimaeus heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth ''He began to cry out and say Jesus thou son of david have mercy on me''
- This speaks of prayer, you must Never give up on praying
- You must not be tired of prayers if you must receive continous solutions in Life
- You must cry out for divine mercy like Bartimaeus did. The mercies God showed David.
- In Lk 18:1 the Bible said''That Men ought always to pray, and not to faint(or lose heart).
- 1 Thes 5:17 says''Pray without ceasing.
- So you must not give up on prayer because by it you call upon the Almighty God to Supernaturally intervene in your situation and turn things around for you.
- Dealing with the Oppositions:
- In Mk 10:47-48 the Bible said that as soon as Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out Many charged him that he should bold his peace.
- That is he should stop praising his vision, stop working and walking on the truth he has just heard and that he should dtop praying.
- Many a time in life satanic power and people agents are there to stop you and make you to give up.
- But you must refuse to Give Up.
- Never Give Up in delaying with the opposition
- You deal with in power after the order of Eph 6:10-19 and 2 Cor 10;3-6
- You deal with the opposition in wisdom after the order of Neh 4:6-23 and Esther 5 &7
- Psa 70:2 says ''Let them be ashamed and confronted in that seek after my soul. Let them be turned bacjward and put to confusion that dere my hunt.
- Psa 92:11 says ''Mine eyes shall see my desire in mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rises up against me''
- So you must never give up until god deals with your oppositions.
- Your Faith: Never give up in your faith.
- In Mk 10:52 the Bible says ''And Jesus said unto him, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole and immediately he recieved his sight and followed Jesus in the way''
- Your faith may tested and shaken but Never Give Up your faith in God, your faith in Jesus and his word.
- 1 Jn 5:4 said ''For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
- Eph 6:16 says '' Above all talking the should of faith, where with ye shall be able to ground all the fiery darts of the wicked''
- Rom 1:17 says the righteousness (Acts) of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written; The just shall live by faith.
