THE PILGRIMS GUIDE FRIDAY AUGUST 22, 2025 HE IS CALLING YOU A WORD FROM THE WORD: "When Jesus heard [the blind man begging for mercy], he stopped and said, 'Tell him to come here.' So they called the blind man. 'Cheer up,' they said. 'Come on, he's calling you!' Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus." Mark 10:49-50, NLT. The blind man cried out to the LORD Jesus in his dire situation, and he rose and met Him, throwing aside his garment. Then, he was healed, and he went on to follow the LORD. Whatever you may have been going through, even if you're experiencing spiritual, physical, financial, social, intellectual blindness, or you're broken and your paths are disturbed by calamities, tests, and trials; marriage, business, academic pursuits, ministry, career, etc. It may not have been easy getting this far, yet you are here. Offset the negative mindset about your situation and reset your mind to the frequency of the mind of Christ. By explicit trust and confidence in Him, realise and activate His presence in your life and situation because now is your time to rise. The LORD Jesus is calling you, rise to who you should be; to confidence and purpose. Rise in faith to the proceeding of God in you. He is greater and stronger than the challenges against you. It is time for you to jettison your garment of blindness, put on the garment of praise and live the life God ordained for you. The LORD Jesus is calling you. Cheer up and rise. PRAYER BULLETS: LORD Jesus, thank You for speaking to me today. I have responded to Your call, LORD. Just like the blind man, I arise and come to You, receiving everything You have for my life. Help me to be everything You created me to be. FURTHER READING: Mark 10:46-52; Psalm 94:18-19; Romans 15:13; Matthew 6:31-34. __________________________________________ ©️ Amaobi Nwachukwu 2025.
