Jesus said, take away the stone and Martha, the sister of the deed man said to Him, Lord by this time there will be an odour for he has been dead for four days... John 11:39

Jesus in His ministry had people He walked with, aside the twelve disciples like Mary, Lazarus and many more. From the text, we noticed that Jesus to attend to Lazeraus who happens to be sick. Later, it was reported that he's dead

Jesus upon hearing the information stayed for four more days and then decided to attend probably the funeral. When He got there, Lazarus had already been buried. Here it looks as if Christ originally had something in mind to bring back Lazeraus to life. Contrary to this, a stumbling block opposed Jesus to get into the tomb where Lazarus was laid. And when Jesus got close, He said, Take away the stone Jesus was coming with life. His eagerness to call into existence the non -existent was so great. There is a life in Jesus but a stone can be an opposition, just as the stone which was laid on Lazarus tomb could have become an obstacle.

He stands of your heart,but a strong and a hardened heart will hinder Him from entering. He takes away strong heart out of your flesh and gives you a heart of flesh

Ezekiel 36:26-30

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."
"And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep mine ordinances, and do them."
"And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
"And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you."
"And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations."

To be able to receive something from Jesus Christ be it academic breakthrough or whatever, there is something you ought to do. Lift up any obstacle (stone) that may hinder Christ from reaching you. The stone in your life can also be the bad character in your life. Lift up the stone before it sends Jesus away from you.

Stones in life will impose a limited movement and a rough walk. Do you the stones in your life..?

Prayer :

Grant me the grace to see any stony limitation in my life. Help me to see my breakthrough as I lay off the stones in my life in Jesus name. Amen..!

Thanks for reading and may God bless you all

Abstacles may comes our way, but for those who have faith and believes in his words may be victorious at the end.

Thanks for this great charge.

The stone wanted to stand as a barrier to raising Lazarus from death but Jesus knew it and he commanded them to roll away the stone.
There might be some barriers in our lives in the form of sins or our thought that is limiting Christ from manifesting in our lives, we just have to roll out the stone and allow Christ to take charge.

Good to see you around

Excellent teaching. We must not allow anything or anyone to create obstacles in our life with Jesus.

It has always been my pleasure to teach his word to the world. Thanks

A stony heart could be a great obstacle for Jesus to reach us. As we know, it's never too late when Jesus is involved. We should cast all our attention towards Him and in turn, He will renew us. Glory be to God. Tanx @bigssam for sharing

I really like your second line, it is never too late for us to turn back to him. He alone can save as from all our troubles. Good.

Good, to see you come around.
