Find Him.

Mark 5:25-. This woman had a condition that men known to solve conditions had given up on but you must realise that despite such a circumstance she held on to the hope that one day Jesus shall pass by. The day came and there was a multitude following Him and she went through the crowd and touched His garment. To touch Jesus' garment she had to find Jesus first and to find Jesus she had to follow the noise of the crowd calling out to Him seeking help. When she heard the multitude she sought the location of the multitude, when she found the multitude she sought for Jesus and when she had found Him she reached for the garment. Now whatever that Jesus possesses has His power  : His word, saliva, hand ,garment etc. When you have found Jesus no matter how hard it is to reach out to Him because of the multitude around Him reach out for the closest thing before you belonging to Him : be it the word of God, praise and worship, taking care of the house of God, tithing, ministering...and surely you will get His attention, for by touching His possessions you are touching Him.

The woman had to find her way to Him despite what the multitude said about her and her condition,  she was driven by the faith in Jesus' power of healing. Her faith in the garment healed her...not just he garment. Have faith in what God has put before you that it will be more than enough for to fulfill the desire of your heart but focus on the garment and not on the condition...focus on the effort you put in reaching because you may just get the hem of His garment and be healed, therefore by your faith in His garment you will get His attention. Amen.

Psalm 6

Psalm 6 : Here David explains his condition to God and asks God to heal him. He then asks God to deliver him for His(God) sake because David understood very well that if he dies, he will not be able to praise thus he was pleading for more time to praise God for he still wanted to see God's works in and around his life, he still sought more time to know more of God therefore he asked God to deliver him. Now realise this, David doesn't cry before his enemies but cries before God pouring out his whole heart, and from that he gets strength to stand boldly before his enemies and casts hem away. He tells the enemies to depart from him not because God responded, but because God heard him : we are often worried about whether God will respond or not, but the biggest thing you need to grasp is that God heard you. For if God hears you the rest is up to Him and His own timing, be sure of the fact that He heard you. For if He heard you, why worry about how long He will take to respond for if He responds immediately its His will, and if He doesn't respond immediately it is still His will, just stick close by His will. Tell your enemies to back off, because God heard you and it is never in God's plan to cause you destruction, His plan for you is life, be sure that at the end - no matter when it is - you will have life, regardless of the current enemies and regardless of the current condition, because you cried to Him with an earnest heart. Now tell your enemies to RUN!!!! for God has heard your prayer and when He responds it won't well for them, tell them to go AWAY!!!! because your deliverance is surely coming. Don't let the enemy see your tears, show them your courage and faith in your Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.Take heart and trust God's will and timing for these are always perfect, perfect for you and perfect for His purpose.

His love as a shield.

Psalm 5:12 This verse compares God's to a shield that surrounds us. This is because it's His love for us that makes Him protect us at all times from our enemies. God loved us even when we were busking in sin but His love for us always made Him keep us until the day of salvation, for when you get saved you may ask yourself how you managed to stay alive until you accepted him as your Lord and Saviour, its because His love for you could not let you go astray without knowing the truth. When God reveals himself to you He is letting you know that He has always been there with you throughout. He loves you so much that you wake up everyday and even if you don't thank Him for the day, He still wakes you up for another day that He has made. The danger is when you know of His love for you, now you have a choice whether to reject it or accept it. When you reject it, you step out of the way of the shield and probably feel good about that, the only reason you feel good is because there are no arrows from the enemy coming your way yet. His love as a shield will always be there but I hope for your sake that it won't be too late : I hope you will realise that you are in danger before you are struck-down. To those who have chosen to remain in His love remember : No weapon formed against us shall prosper, for His love endures forever, remain in it, it will never fail you in any situation. Watch them pull out their guns, knives, swords etc, but most importantly watch God's love for you prevail in keeping you safe. Amen.

Small as a mustard seed.

Matthew 17:19-20 Here the disciples had enough faith to believe that Jesus would save them from the waves but still Jesus still asked : "Why don't you have enough faith?". Yes their faith was large enough to look away from the trouble and look to Jesus Christ but still their faith wasn't enough. Their faith wasn't enough because they believed in Jesus Christ but did not believe on what Jesus Christ had imparted and planted within them. Many associate themselves with Jesus Christ but refuse his power 2 Timothy 3:5 therefore they're faith is not enough. Even faith as small as a mustard seed is more than enough because if a mustard seed can grow to be the largest plant in the garden why can't your faith produce the same results, there's no reason why it shouldn't. Here's the thing about the mustard seed, as small as it is, it believes in the power of the soil, sun and water to make it grow to its full potential regardless of its size thus it does not hold back its germination because it knows that as I germinate the things surrounding me shall make me grow, therefore why can't we believe in the Jesus Christ we are rooted in that when we come out and command things in His name that they will truly be established. The mustard seed produces what was equal to its size but the components surrounding it make its product greater than its size. With your faith, believe in the power that God has given to you and He shall multiply it, shout out in His name with your small voice and He shall amplify it to be powerful enough so much that mountains move out of your way. Amen.

Pulled by my calling.

Hebrews 5:4, To be a high priest you must be called by God himself, you can make yourself anything without God calling you to it. Now look at where you are, are you there because you've put yourself there or are you placed by God? I am not talking about desiring to be something rather about when you've stopped listening to God and began going against His will in doing what you are doing. It's about time we seek God to place what we are called for in our hearts so that we grow towards it and not the opposite direction. For before the foundations of this world we were called(1 Timothy 1:9), so nothing will change that calling, not your ambition nor your passion. Seek your calling, do not neglect it for another for you were called by God himself, is that fact of being just called not great enough on its own? Surely it is. Do not be distracted, function in your calling and that is where you will find God's anointing for you. Isaiah 61:1, the moment you acknowledge what your role is, is the moment you acknowledge God's anointing on your life for that role and it is also the moment where you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in what you are called for. The disciples were called to be Apostles but when they were disciples they remained as disciples, until Jesus Christ revealed it, so until God reveals it(making it manifest in you and through you) function were God has placed you momentarily, there is a reason why you are where you are right now. Amen.

Genesis 17:21 When Abraham was promised a son he was 90 years old and Sarah was 100 years old but God said this time next year you will have a son through Sarah, yes they were 90 and 100 right now but they would have a son when they are 91 and 101, when things seem worse and things seem much more unrealistic and that's exactly what God wanted, to show that He doesn't work with boundaries nor situation. God understands what you are going through right now but He says that you will get breakthrough at the season He has set. Sarah was not to fall pregnant a year later but was to give birth a year later, so when she was pregnant Abraham could see that but could not see the son yet but was seeing where the son is. We often look for what we expect but why not look at where what we expect is coming from and praise God for we can already see His promise and His season approaching. Fix your eyes in the direction of the promise and you shall surely get your joy even before the year is over, even before the promise is obtained, even before things work out.

Lord make the best of your ambassadors, Lord raise me up to the level and standard where you have willed me to be. Lord give me the boldness to preach the word and proclaim your salvation to all men. Let me not go through another day without getting the conviction of preaching your gospel for many belong in your fire and have been removed by circumstances, make me the one to let them know that they are being called back to where they belong. My Father you had called me before the world saw me and I know that when you called me you had an image of me, Lord I want to be that image. You made me in the vicinity of your glory and the more your glory shines on me the more I become the being you created. Let everyday be a day where people see your works in me, the way I walk, talk, smile, stand, and the way I live let it shout out GOD LIVES AND HE LIVES FOREVER!!!
