VOP 2022: January 6, 2022 - Determination is profitable “D-factor”

VOP 2022: January 6, 2022 Determination is profitable “D-factor” We must stay on course, avoiding the negative “Ds”: Discouragers, Detractors, Denial, but rather focus on the positive influence of destiny helpers, who God Has positioned to take us to our expected Destination. Blind Bartimaeus was not moved by his discouragers and detractors but stayed focused on Jesus Christ, His ultimate and Divine healer and restorer. Although he was faced with opposition and mockery, he ignored the noise of his detractors and discouragers but rather desperately pressed harder to the place where he forcefully received divine attention and divine intervention. “Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:46-52‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
