Your Time for a Miracle Will Come | John Giftah | Christian Sermon
Tonight's Episode
Sometimes life can feel like we’ve been stuck in the same situation for a long time.In John 5, a man had been crippled for 38 years, lying beside the pool of Bethesda waiting for healing.
In Acts 3, another man had been crippled from birth, sitting at the temple gate every day asking for help.
Both men had something in common: they were stuck in their condition for years.
But one day, their moment came.
JESUS healed the man at Bethesda, and through the power of JESUS, Peter and John commanded the lame man at the temple gate to rise and walk.
These stories remind us of an important truth: no matter how long you have been stuck, GOD can change your situation in a moment.
In this episode, John Giftah shares an encouragement for anyone who feels like their breakthrough has been delayed. Your waiting season is not the end of your story.
Your time for a miracle will come.

Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.
Speaker 2: Hey, are you in a place in your lefe? You're
Speaker 2: looking at a lef and you're feeling like, oh my goodness, John,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm very stuck. I'm not able to
Speaker 2: move ahead. I feel like I'm not able to take
Speaker 2: any step. No matter what I do, nothing is working out.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm in the same place for so
Speaker 2: many days, weeks, months, or even years for that matter.
Speaker 2: And you're saying, in some area of your life, you're
Speaker 2: not able to see the progress despite praying, despite taking
Speaker 2: the steps of faith, despite looking up to God for
Speaker 2: godly wisdom and counsel and taking the right steps that
Speaker 2: you know that you need to take, but no matter
Speaker 2: what you do, nothing is working. You're feeling like, oh,
Speaker 2: my gosh, is this my lot in life that I'm
Speaker 2: always going to see this issue with regard to my
Speaker 2: finance always being in a very bad shame, or my
Speaker 2: relationship status never changing, or looking at the condition of
Speaker 2: my marriage it's never turning around. Or my family member
Speaker 2: who's not saved will never get saved. It feels like
Speaker 2: this is something that is like a lot in life, like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm never going to get a child, we're going to
Speaker 2: get married, I'm never going to see good days in
Speaker 2: my life. Do you feel like that. Maybe for a
Speaker 2: long time you've been hoping. Maybe there were times you
Speaker 2: listen to good sermons that inspired you, encouraged you, you
Speaker 2: stood on the word of God, the promises of God.
Speaker 2: But now you're feeling like, oh my gosh, maybe it
Speaker 2: was never meant for me. Maybe those sermons were all
Speaker 2: meant in a certain area of my life, but for me,
Speaker 2: maybe God is not going to do it. But I
Speaker 2: want to just remind you today, right, I want to
Speaker 2: talk to you from the one of my favorite passages
Speaker 2: from God's Word, and it is found in John chapter five,
Speaker 2: which is talking about a place called the pool of Betesta,
Speaker 2: where there are so many sick people who are waiting.
Speaker 2: So what actually happens here is that in this huge
Speaker 2: pool called the pool of Betesta, so many sick people
Speaker 2: lay there, and every now and then the Angel of
Speaker 2: the Lord would come and stir the waters, and who
Speaker 2: over jumped in first would get healed. This is what
Speaker 2: that used to happen at the pool of Bethesta. And
Speaker 2: there in that pool, if you look at verse five,
Speaker 2: it says there was a man who had been sick
Speaker 2: for thirty eight years. Now I wanted to just think
Speaker 2: about this, almost forty years. This man was a crippled
Speaker 2: man who was lying there. And if you see even
Speaker 2: in the Book of Acts, there's a moment where by
Speaker 2: the gate called beautiful in the place of worship, there
Speaker 2: was a man who had been lame and crippled for
Speaker 2: forty years. Now, I wanted to just think about this.
Speaker 2: When you look at in a literal sense, these men
Speaker 2: have been in the same state for not one year,
Speaker 2: not two years, not for ten days, not for a decade,
Speaker 2: but for almost four decades. This has been their life.
Speaker 2: They saw everybody else, you know, progressing in life, they're
Speaker 2: moving ahead in life. They feel like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: I'm missing out on so much. Even if you look
Speaker 2: at the man in the Book of Facts, you know,
Speaker 2: like for the first forty years of his life he
Speaker 2: was like this. Now, imagine growing up as a kid
Speaker 2: watching other kids play around, running around, and he can't
Speaker 2: do any of that because he's a cripple. Or he's
Speaker 2: looking at other young people getting married. And now when
Speaker 2: he grows young and he's looking at everybody else getting
Speaker 2: all of those benefits, but he's stuck. He's not able
Speaker 2: to get ahead in life, and he feels like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, this is my lot in life. But today,
Speaker 2: this is a word. I want to encourage you that
Speaker 2: if you feel like, oh my gosh, John, my life
Speaker 2: seems like nothing is changing, nothing is moving, and I
Speaker 2: need to accept that this is my lot in life. No,
Speaker 2: I want you to cancel that doubt, because you never
Speaker 2: know when God is going to show up, when God
Speaker 2: is going to suddenny turn things around. One sudden moment,
Speaker 2: when Jesus stepped into the pool of Patista, this man
Speaker 2: got his miracle instantaneously, and he was able to walk again.
Speaker 2: If you look at the incident in the Book of
Speaker 2: Acts three as well, it says that the minute that
Speaker 2: man got his miracle, the Lord used Peter and John
Speaker 2: and instantly they got they touched him, and he was
Speaker 2: able to receive his miracle, and he started running around,
Speaker 2: jumping around, excited and praising the Lord. See, I want
Speaker 2: you to understand, no matter how long it's been, you
Speaker 2: never know when is that one divine moment when suddenly
Speaker 2: everything is going to turn around. Suddenly everything is going
Speaker 2: to shift, everything is going to make amends like never before. See,
Speaker 2: I'm not sharing this from a place when I'm feeling like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm just giving you empty promises. I'm
Speaker 2: just giving you empty word of assurances and saying everything
Speaker 2: is great in my life and I just want you
Speaker 2: guys to just be happy. That's not what my intention
Speaker 2: is like, to be honest, Just a while ago, I
Speaker 2: was just, you know, crying to the Lord. I was
Speaker 2: looking at the condition of a YouTube channel. I was
Speaker 2: talking to someone the other day. I was like, you know,
Speaker 2: I've been working on YouTube consistently for the past ten years.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been running the ministry for the past
Speaker 2: fourteen years on YouTube. I've been consistent with high quality
Speaker 2: videos from studios, recordings and all of these things, collaborations,
Speaker 2: all that I've been doing for the last ten years,
Speaker 2: ten years, one decade. Great. A lot of people give
Speaker 2: up in one year, two years. But after ten years
Speaker 2: and I was just you know, crying through the Lord
Speaker 2: and I was like, God, you know, after ten years
Speaker 2: of being on YouTube, the response I get is not
Speaker 2: as nowhere near the kind of response I should be
Speaker 2: hoping to get after working on YouTube for ten years,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I was looking at it
Speaker 2: and I was like, Lord, what is happening? What is
Speaker 2: going on? You know? And again I was just you know,
Speaker 2: when I was just crying about it and praying about
Speaker 2: it and all of that. You know. The one thought
Speaker 2: that was like the same way, just because nothing is
Speaker 2: happening for a long time doesn't mean nothing is going
Speaker 2: to work. You never know when is that divine moment
Speaker 2: one video going wider, one video reaching the right person
Speaker 2: and being an impact to the right people, you know,
Speaker 2: and blessing lives in a way that you can't even imagine.
Speaker 2: All it takes is one touch of God's favor, one
Speaker 2: moment for everything to turn around. You know, it's like
Speaker 2: a domino effect. The one video starts doing well, and
Speaker 2: the Lord just uses that to bless multitudes across the globe.
Speaker 2: All the efforts I've put, all the money invested, all
Speaker 2: the all of my heart put into this for so
Speaker 2: many years. You know, there were times I put in more.
Speaker 2: I was talking to someone and said, I put in
Speaker 2: more effort to you know, these videos in this ministry
Speaker 2: for the past fourteen years, in terms of finance, in
Speaker 2: some cases more in then what I'm investing in myself.
Speaker 2: In a sense like that, I'm telling you the Lord
Speaker 2: is faithful. That's the hope I have, and I challenge
Speaker 2: you to have the same hope, because even though you
Speaker 2: don't find the result, even though you feel like you're stuck,
Speaker 2: even though you feel it feels like everybody else is
Speaker 2: progressing and you're stuck in the same place. I want
Speaker 2: you to believe, just like I'm believing in the midst
Speaker 2: of everything, that at the right moment, yes, God will
Speaker 2: honor the efforts I have put into the YouTube channel,
Speaker 2: the same way God will honor the efforts you're put
Speaker 2: in in whichever area you've been praying for. If you've
Speaker 2: been praying for a miracle in the area of finance,
Speaker 2: I speak it away your life right now in Jesus' name,
Speaker 2: that you will step into your divine moment. If you're
Speaker 2: praying for a miracle in a relationship, you know, as
Speaker 2: a Christian single, I know exactly how that feels. You're
Speaker 2: taking steps, you're praying, you're hoping, you're trying out, and
Speaker 2: you know you're still a single and you're like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, God, what is going on? You may be
Speaker 2: feeling like that. I can understand that you in that
Speaker 2: season yourself, and I pray that God will give you
Speaker 2: the strength, the grace you need to believe that the
Speaker 2: right point in time, the right thing will happen, the
Speaker 2: right connection, the divine moment when everything is going to
Speaker 2: fall in places. Speak it away your life in the
Speaker 2: name of Jesus. Whatever area, miracle, breakthrough that you're hoping for,
Speaker 2: let it happen, and it will happen for the glory
Speaker 2: of God. Emmen, God bless you.
