"Jesus said to him, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk.'" (John 5:8)

This word is no longer a simple historical account. It is a prophetic declaration for you today, because we live in the era where everything is already accomplished. 😊

But the problem is that we often remain lying down, paralyzed on our mat, waiting for a sign, the stirring of the water. But the reality is that: at the cross, Jesus accomplished everything. We are no longer in waiting, but in possession of divine promises. Only one gesture remains for us: to rise by faith and move forward 🙌


The time is no longer for justifying our immobility. The man at the Pool of Bethesda always had excuses: "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred 😣, and while I am going, another steps down before me. 😥" (John 5:7).

How many times do our own words echo his? "It is because my uncle does not help me", "it is because of such and such person that I am not moving forward", "... I was born into a poor family", etc. Today the Master is here: we no longer need to accuse others to justify our failures.


Here is an important truth to remember: God answered you a long time ago. Yes, you have prayed enough. There is a time for everything. The time of answered prayer has arrived, the time has come to move into action, for it is written: "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you have already received them, and you will see them accomplished." (Mark 11:24) 🔥

The divine sequence is clear: believe first, see the accomplishment afterwards. But it always begins with an act of faith. Often it is in the heat of action that we will experience our miracle: take your CV and go submit it. Launch out, simply. Start that project with the little you have 🏃🏾, etc.


You no longer need to wait for signs or seek external validations. As I am writing these lines, this passage comes to my mind: He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. (Ecclesiastes 11:4-6) So? 🤔 Stop always giving reasons to remain confined. This word for you is prophetic: Rise, take up your bed, and walk. 💪

May God bless His word.
Amen. 🙏
