1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his
8mat and walked.
The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, 10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”
11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
let me go straight to the word, we are hearing of aman who was sick for him to be healed he have to wait for water to be starred so that he enter into a pool but the was a lot of people who were waiting , but this man was highly favoured the bible says jesus asked him do you want to be healed? and he was told to pic his mat and go

now let me go back to the passage in verse 10 the man was told that it was agaist the law to pic your mat and but the man replied the man who made me well told me to do so, hey let me bring this to your attension we are serving God who is an opposer when they say it is impossible he says it is possible when they say you are poor he says Jesus came poor so that through him we become rich! people who are against you will be amased when things are going your way, some will b admitted in hospital gape some of high blood pressure is not natural ke jelousy the way God is gonna bless you the are gonna ask themselves how does it happened ?it is simple just pick up your mat have faith in God remember there is surely nothing that pleases God if not FAITH AMEN
