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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
