THE UNHEARD CRY

AUGUST 20th - CAPSULE 20

TOPIC: THE UNHEARD CRY

BIBLE TEXT: Mark 5 vs. 2 – There met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.


Jesus heard a cry nobody else heard, from a place nobody else wanted to go, from a man nobody wanted to associate with. When Jesus lives in your heart, you will hear that cry too. It will touch your spirit.

It came from a mad man living in a graveyard, whose very appearance was enough to make any normal person avoid him, but something deep inside him longed to be free, and that longing touched Jesus. To get to him, Jesus had to go through a storm, HE also overcame the objections of His disciples, who probably said “why risk it, he’s not worth it”

If you want to follow Jesus, you will have to open your heart to a cry that nobody else is listening to. You can’t listen to the crowd around you, you have got to listen to the Spirit within you. He will tell you where to go and HE will tell you who to minister to. You can’t be out off by lifestyle or appearance. All that matters is getting them to Jesus.


Prayer: Lord help me to listen to the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Insight: Just get them to Jesus, and HE will take care of the rest.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
