Bible Reading: Luke 6:45
Memory Verse: Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 (NIV)
There’s no such word as “can’t”. You’re never too young or too old, and it’s never too late to start something new. Be encouraged by these life testimonies:
4. Esref Armagan, “The Artist With No Eyes”: Despite being born blind, and to an impoverished family, Esref Armagan taught himself to both write and paint. The self-proclaimed ‘Artist With No Eyes’ draws the outline of his paintings with a braille stylus, then uses oil paint to paint the pictures. This is all the more amazing when you realise that he has never seen the things that he is depicting.
5. The woman with Locked In Syndrome who completed a degree by blinking: After suffering from a stroke shortly after giving birth in 2003, age 30, Dawn Faizey Webster was left with Locked In Syndrome – a condition that leaves you trapped within your own body, fully paralysed apart from small head movements and your eyes. With the help of a specialised laptop that read her eye movements, spending three hours a day nudging buttons with her head and typing letters with her eyes, she was able to complete a 2:2 degree in Ancient History and write her autobiography. “When I passed my degree, I was so pleased and proud of myself,” she said. “No matter what obstacles were in my way, such as getting pneumonia twice and other lesser illnesses, I was determined to reach my goal.”
6. The 102-year-old marathon runner who was awarded a British Empire Medal. Despite never hitting the pavement until he was in his late 80s, Fauja Singh went on not only to compete in several marathons – he is a world record holder in his age bracket. He ran his first marathon age 89, and has run nine full marathons since. This year, he was awarded with the prestigious British Empire Medal to mark his achievements. When asked for the secret of his success he said, “Being active is like a medication. I don’t want to withdraw from that medication.”
Quote: The only place limitations exist is in our minds.
Prophetic Decree: The wall of impossibility in your heart breaks today to rise no more, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
1. I receive the bulldozer anointing to break every limitation in my mind, in Jesus name.
2. Holy Spirit, please reconfigure my mindset today, in Jesus name.
3. I receive a divine revelation that will change what I believe and what I see about myself, in Jesus name
4. Light of the Word of God, shine in my heart, in Jesus name.
5. Even in my old age, I shall make good news, break new record, and remain fruitful, in Jesus name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 1-4
