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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
