He was paralyzed for 38 years. He expected healing at a pool in Bethesda. Typically, an angel would arrive at the pool, stir the water, and the first to get in would be made whole. That has been the method for years; nothing else matters for many.
Then one day, a Messiah came. He asked the man, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the man 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.”
Notice his answer: he had no one to get him into the water. Simply, he had no connection to Aso Rock, White House or the U.S. Embassy for visa. Apparently, his healing must come via the same way – stirring water and jumping in, and the process must wait until the next angel arrives. Too bad, he did not know the grand commander of angels was before him.

We have the same problem. Someone asks you “Do you need a job?” Then you quickly remind him that “Sir, I made a 2.2 …, read “Typing”, etc”. It is natural; I desired to be a Naval officer because my kinsman, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu (RIP), was a great one. But one day, he came to the community school and told us “you must be educated and pass exams with great grades”. We got the message; the only path was not military.
People, do not make the path to success to become The Success. There are many routes. Not many would be as lucky as the man who despite his way-off answer received healing from Christ. Communicate better on the big picture.
Happy Sunday.
