Luke 19.4
Behold there was a man called Zaccheaus as the bible indicates. As we saw yesterday, he was well endowed in various fields. But today I want us to reflect on some amazing things about this man. You know he lived in a world just as we do. His emotions were just as yours and mine.The good book mentions that he was limited in height. What could it be that is your limitation today. May be the year has become and as days go by you look at the resolutions you jotted down and all seam like a pipe dream. I encourage you not to look at your limitations. Zaccheaus had good ears and made sure he confirmed that he heard right anything that come by his ears. He purposed not to be limited or even intimidated by his lack of height. He made up for it by climbing a sycamore tree. And this tree he was not climbing as a by the way. Deep within his mind and heart of hearts he was total sure Jesus was passing that way
Today Jesus is passing your way. What is that you are holding on or is bogging you down? The bible declares that a righteous man may fall seven times but will still rise. Indeed you have fallen but that is no licence to remain there. Beloved there is no excuse of remaining down, whining and nagging everyone. Zaccheaus knew his short comings. From what he had heard is that whoever met Jesus never remained the same. And saw he alone because he understood where the pain need, desire or prayer request was climbed the tree with the sole purpose of connecting with Jesus.
This Jesus is passing your way today. Do not drown yourself in your problem. There is no problem that is bigger than a heart that is determined to find Jesus. Your situation does not determine who you are but the opposite is true. The grace is available today. May be people have counted you out and you fill that you are a nobody.If Zaccheaus had thought this way we could not be reading about him today. My friend it is you to write your history. Do not be cheated by your surrounding. It is possible to break the limits if you go the way the Lord is passing today. Make a resolve today and go the way the Lord is passing. Please remember that for you to leave a mark here Jesus is beckoning 'come this way".
Those who laugh at you will only do so when you are down but when you decide that enough is enough and come the way of Jesus, there will be transformation. You will become a new creation, the past is gone. And you know what nobody will ever refer to you in the past. You have become a precious gem before the eyes of your maker. Believe it, act live it and practice it.
Amen
