Mark 2:1-12
[1] And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 

[2] Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 

[3] Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 

[4] And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 

[5] When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 

[6] And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 

[7] “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 

[8] But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 

[9] Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 

[10] But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, 

[11] “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 

[12] Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

MFM Daily Devotional Message Saturday, 21st February, 2026.

We move forward in our series on great faith. Today, we will examine another kind of faith - the faith that never gives up or stubborn faith. Four friends bring their paralytic friend to Jesus in hopes of getting healing.

On getting to the house where Jesus is, the crowd is so large that there is no room for them to go through. These guys refuse to be discouraged. They proceed to open the roof of the house and lower their friend right at the feet of Jesus. Now, Jesus just has to notice them. There's a great lesson here: you have to keep knocking on heaven's door until you are noticed and given an answer. Do not be discouraged by the fact that others are getting speedy answers while there seems to be no way for you. It might just be that you need to take a radical step of faith like opening the roof, or making a vow like Hannah did (1 Samuel 1:11).

The first statement Jesus made to the man was, "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee" (v. 5). Could his sins have placed him in that situation? Beloved, sin can hinder the effectiveness of your faith. You need to repent and confess before you actually move God with your faith.

Jesus went ahead to heal the man, not minding the dissenting scribes.

Beloved, God can do all things when we have faith in Him. Learn from this story of the paralytic and his friends. Surround yourself with the right company, people who will build your faith and lead you to Jesus, not people who will discourage you and suggest ungodly solutions. You yourself should learn to have radical faith, the kind of faith that holds on to God, saying, "If you don't bless me, you're not going anywhere." May your faith be strengthened for uncommon results, in the name of Jesus.
