YOU WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND AS OTHERS CELEBRATE

"After this, there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years"(John 5:1-5). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
In Today's Focal Scripture, Jesus took a trip to Jerusalem at a time when there was a feast of the Jews. Ordinarily, a feast is indicative of celebration; a feast is synonymous with good news, Joy and gladness. So, Jesus went to Jerusalem at a time when everyone was meant to be celebrating; He went to Jerusalem when everyone was meant to be basking in goodnews.

Notice that when Jesus arrived at Jerusalem, He noticed the sick man at the Pool of Bethesda; He noticed a man who was not feasting or celebrating like others. He noticed a man whose life was devoid of good news. This man wasn't celebrating when others were celebrating.
Notice carefully, when Jesus noticed the man that was not celebrating, He healed him and put a smile on his face. Jesus saw a man that was not rejoicing, and He made the man rejoice. He noticed a man who had no testimony, and He gave the man a testimony. Others may have started celebrating before this man, but in a matter of time, Jesus gave him an uncommon celebration!
Friend, God says, you will have a reason to celebrate. You will not be left behind as others celebrate. You will not be forgotten as others receive their good news. You will get your own testimony. You shall have your own celebration. You will have a cause to smile. You will receive your own healing, promotion, provision, Increase, spouse etc.


Don't get depressed when others celebrate; the same God who made them celebrate, any moment from now, will also make you celebrate. Start learning your best dances now. You will dance, shout, laugh and praise very soon.
Pray with me, "Lord, I praise you because very soon you will give me many reasons to celebrate in Jesus name".
