Luke 14:5 NKJV “Then He answered them, saying, “Which of you, having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
Jesus healed a man with dropsy on a Sabbath day. Dropsy is an old term for the swelling of soft tissues due to the accumulation of excess water. Now, Jesus compared that man to someone or something that fell into a pit. And you know what a pit is: a hole in the ground. So a man in a pit didn’t just fall on the ground, he’s actually beneath the ground.
Pits are sometimes traps, and could be used to keep a man in captivity. When a man is in a pit, he’s helpless. When Joseph’s brothers conspired to kill him, they said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is coming! Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!” They desired to kill his dreams by casting him in a pit! Even though they didn’t kill him, he was cast into the pit, and while there Joseph was helpless.
When you are in a pit people pity you. But you are to be envied and not pitied! Today, you are being delivered, in Jesus name! A man in a pit cannot fulfil his purpose, a man in a pit cannot achieve his dreams. But everyone whose desire it is for your dreams to die, they are being disappointed in Jesus name! Jesus took the man with dropsy and healed him, and let him go. Today, Jesus sets you free of every sickness, Jesus sets you free from every bondage, Jesus sets you free from every limitation, in Jesus name! You will fulfil your purpose! Your dreams will come to pass! And you will rise higher and higher, in the name of Jesus!
