BE EXPECTANT-2

Text : Proverbs  23:18.  

For surely there is an end, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Yesterday, we considered the three major steps taken by the woman with the issue of blood because of her expectation to receive healing. 

Note that before this woman touched Jesus, she had an expectation. She had said to herself, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." (Mark 5:28). 

You must be very strong about your resolution this year. I don't just mean the normal yearly resolution we do during cross-over night. I am talking about your *_FAITH-FULL_* resolve in God. Just like William Carey the father of modern Missions said, *"Expect great things, attempt great things."* 

The woman expected great healing and she did take great action.

She stand the risk of being trampled upon in the midst of the crowd while bending down to touch Jesus' clothes; but the drive of her expectation is stronger than the drive of her fears and afflictions.

 *Until the drive of your expectation in God grew stronger than your fears and affliction, you will not step out in Faith.* 

Having touched Jesus, she received her healing instantly. The scripture says that the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of affliction (Mark 5:29). 

May the Lord also heal you of every affliction even as you touch Him in faith today in the name of Jesus.

Jesus thereafter reacted, "who touched my clothes?"
The disciples had thought that such statement is not necessary because he is in the midst of multitude thronging him. 

Jesus, however felt the intentional and faith-ful touch of this woman in the midst of the multitude because of her 'faith-full' touch.

 *The simple but 'faith-filled' prayer of one who is expectant to receive from the Lord will always be answered.* 

Don't forget, It is the same Jesus yesterday, today and forever (Hebrew 13:8). If you will touch Him with great expectation in faith today, you will also be healed. 

Remember, many physicians had exhausted the woman of her resources. Her health, finance and emotion have been wrecked until she came to Jesus. 

Whatever your case might be as well, just *come to Jesus. Touch Him and you shall be made whole once again.* 

Bible Reading: Mark 5:25-34.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, I come to you in faith right now. I believe in healing through the name of your Son Jesus. I believe He is the same yesterday, today and forever. I come to you in the name of Jesus. 

Father, I ask that you heal me of......in the name of Jesus.

I receive healing from.....in the name of Jesus.

Give God thanks and Praises.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
