SCRIPTURE READING: MARK 2: 1-12

FOCUS: “When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.” (Mark 2: 5)

MEMORY VERSE: “O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” (Psalm 90: 14)

In our Focal Scripture, Jesus proclaimed forgiveness of sins to the paralytic man. It was by the death of Jesus, and His shedding of blood on the cross, that there was remission of sins. Our redemption and forgiveness of sins came by the shedding of the blood of Jesus. Jesus was yet to shed His blood, yet He proclaimed forgiveness of sins for the paralytic man. What was meant to be in the future, Jesus brought it forward.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: what you imagined that should come in the future, the Lord will cause them to become present day realities. God will cause your future aspirations to come closer to you in the present. God will cause your future results to become present realities. God will cause what you feel should come your way in years to come, to come to you now. Your future expectations are becoming present realities.

Hear me as I hear the Lord: expectations you have for years to come are becoming present realities. Expectations that should be fulfilled in twenty years will be brought forward and fulfilled in days. What you have already imagined would come by year end will come ahead of time. What you imagined that would come in your tomorrow will come in your today. What protocols say you should not have yet, will come to you.

Ordinarily, people should have waited for Jesus to die and rise again before expecting forgiveness of sins, but Jesus made an exception for the paralytic man. Jesus caused his case to be different. Hear me as I hear the Lord: your case will be different. The Lord will cause your case to be an exception to the rule. You will enjoy what has not been done for others. God will show everyone who cares to know that you are the apple of His eyes.

Welcome to that season where future expectations will become your current realities. Welcome to that season where your case will be made different.
