This fifth month you shall arise

I. BELOVED IN THE LORD, as we start the journey in the fifth month, through the power of the Holy Ghost, I say unto you, arise, take up thy bed, and walk. In the past four months, you have been physically, emotionally, and spiritually paralyzed, but this fifth month, you need to hear Jesus Christ's command to rise up and walk in freedom and new life. The paralytic's plight was pathetic, unable to move by circumstance. For the past four months, you have been financially paralyzed, but the time has come to hear that voice. In the past years, you were stuck in bed due to ill health, but this fifth month, you shall have an encounter with Jesus Christ, who shall command you to get up, take up thy bed, and walk. With Christ Jesus in the vessel, in the same circumstances that were beyond your power, you shall roll it, take it up, and move on in victory.

II. DAUGHTER OF ZION, this fifth month, you shall meet those friends who would care and lead you to Jesus Christ. In this month, you shall encounter divine speakers who will speak on your behalf with men and women of authority for your breakthrough. People will speak well of you to ensure that the doors that have been locked up for years will open and you shall enter. When it is your turn to encounter your miracles, the crowd cannot stop you. Circumstances cannot hinder you from reaching Christ Jesus for your miracle. This fifth month, Jesus Christ shall see your needs and provide for them. This month, Jesus Christ shall once again demonstrate His power, and you shall receive your healing, and the crowd that has served as a hindrance to you shall be left in amazement. Your miracles shall not be hidden but shall be public, and the same crowd, the same people, the same family members, the same colleagues, and the same friends who were obstacles at one point will join you to sing praises to God.

III. SON OF MAN, this fifth month, you shall hear that command to rise. The man at the pool in Bethesda had been waiting for healing for years. How long have you been waiting? He never gave up but was hoping upon hope that one day he would also encounter a miracle. People stronger and more powerful always overtake you, but your one day will soon come. How long have you been waiting at the pool for a job opportunity? How long have you been waiting for the fruit of the womb? How long have you been waiting for that man or that woman? As a couple, how long have you been waiting for that breakthrough? As a minister of the gospel, how long have you been waiting for a turn-around in your ministry work? How long have you been waiting for that financial breakthrough? This month, Jesus Christ is asking you, "Do you want to be made well? Overwhelmed by his predicament, he responded, "I have no one to help me." Is this your response? Have you come to the gate if I have no one to help me? This month, Jesus Christ, your helper, is commanding: "Rise, take up your bed, and walk."

IV. MY BELOVED SISTERS AND BROTHERS IN JESUS CHRIST, this month listen to the command, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." Jesus Christ is calling you to leave your past behind, to rise up from your paralysis, and to walk in freedom and new life. May you respond to His call, and may you never forget that with God, nothing is impossible. This is a DIVINE KINGDOM-FOCUSED ENCOURAGEMENT sent forth through the authority and power of Christ Jesus to serve the brethren through God's vessel. Francis Ameyibor, Yes! Don’t give up. Jesus Christ will enter your situation and command you to rise, take up that bed, and walk again.

V. 2024 MY YEAR TO ENCOUNTER THAT DIVINE COMMAND OF GOD - "Rise, Take Up Thy Bed, and Walk" for the fifth month of the year.

PRAYER: LORD! As we enter this fifth month of the year, we come before you with gratitude and humility. We reflect on the past months and recognize areas where we've been stuck, paralyzed by fear, doubt, and uncertainty.

Lord Jesus, we hear your gentle voice saying, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." We ask for your grace and strength to rise above our challenges, to leave our past behind, and to walk in a new life.

Help us to forgive ourselves and others, to release the weights that hold us back, and to embrace your healing and restoration. May this month be a season of transformation, growth, and freedom. As we rise up, may we walk in your wisdom, guidance, and love? May our steps be ordered by you, and may we follow your path of righteousness and peace through Jesus Christ’s name we have prayed -AMEN!
