Change, they say is constant. Change happens on a
per second basis, especially considering the peculiarity of the human makeup,
anything and anyone can change anytime. You and I know that the beauty of raw
gold would only come out when it has changed to gold accessories.
Going through past records of how Jesus healed, it
was common to hear, “Thy faith made thee whole,” or, “And he commanded the
blind to see,” etc. However, Jesus changed the approach when a blind man was
brought to Him in John 9. Bible says, “He spat on the ground, and made clay of
the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.”
I am so sure that the blind man would have wondered
if Jesus knew what He was doing, but thank God he embraced the change and got
his healing. In 2 Kings 5, Naaman would have remained a leper for life if not
for the wisdom of his servant who embraced the change in the healing process
prescribed by Elisha.
Change is necessary so life can be more meaningful
and interesting. I have realized that when God wants to change a situation, it
is not done in some magical way. He changes a person, and the changed person
changes the situation. When God wanted to stop the persecution of His people in
Damascus, He changed Saul to Paul.
Sometimes, all you need do to get more clients, make
more profits, enjoy your marriage, attract the spouse of your dream, and get
the job you so desire is to change your strategy. If the way you have been
doing it all these while is yet to yield any meaningful result for you, then
change is necessary; change of prayer life, spending habit, dress sense etc.
Someone said only a mad man keeps doing the same
thing the same way expecting a different result. Don’t be too spiritual to
embrace change; remember that people who refuse to embrace change gets changed
and replaced.
