ONE TOUCH

Text :Mark 5:30 

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

In the midst of the multitude, where many are thronging, Jesus turned and said, " who touched my clothes?"

While many in the multitude were only touching Jesus unconsciously, one particular woman made a deliberate  FAITH-TOUCH. She touched Jesus for her healing. It is possible you have also been touching Jesus religiously and passively for a long time. I want to encourage you to start engaging in a  "Faith-Touch".

There was a woman who had suffered from hemorrhage (loss of blood) for 12 good years. The bible says that she had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,Mark 5:26. Her livelihood was gone while making several attempts to recover from continuous loss of blood.

Right before her own very eyes, her life was draining on a daily basis. No one could really help, though she had spent a fortune. One day, this woman decided to take  the right step in the right direction.  She took four steps which I will like to share with you. 

Today, I shall be sharing two of these four steps with you.

 *1. She heard of Jesus* 

When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.Mark 5:27. 

It is possible you are hearing about Jesus but you are yet to realise that He is a true help. Stop playing religion about Jesus. Dust your bible and start hearing Jesus for yourself. When you truly hear Jesus, faith will be built in you.So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the *word of God* .(Romans 10:17).  Jesus is the very word of God you need to hear. *Have you truly heard about Jesus?* 

 *2. She came to Jesus.* 

When she had heard of Him, she*came* in the press behind, and touched his garment.Mark 5:27. 

The second step she took was to come to Jesus. Having heard of Jesus, the next step to take is *COME*. You must move away from your problem and come (by faith) to Jesus. You must take a step of faith. Though she had to go through the press, yet she was not deterred. She summoned courage and went through the hurdles of reaching Jesus.

Don't give up!

Don't be discouraged!

There may be rivers to cross to touch Jesus;

There may be mountains to climb;

There may be protocols to pass through;

 *It is however certain that when you touch Him by  Faith, all your tears will be gone.* 

Bible reading: Mark 5:24-34

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
