AUGUST 22nd - CAPSULE 22
TOPIC: THEN JESUS COMES
BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 8 VS 35 (Paraphrase) – And they went and found the man sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind.
The man in the tombs was bound by evil spirits, filled with fear and separated from his family. Society said; he was hopeless. That’s when Jesus loves to step in! When human wisdom says, “It can’t be done” Jesus comes! Look at this man now after Jesus stepped into his life, “he’s clothed and in his right mind”
But the locals couldn’t handle him, so they asked Jesus to go back to where He came from. The world hasn’t changed much. When you meet, and they see you clothed and in your right mind, they won’t know what to do with you either. Have they noticed the difference yet? If none of your old friends are shaken up, then you are not doing something right. Listen’ “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5 vs. 17).
This man wanted to join Jesus and His disciples, but Jesus said no. most of us are not called to full-time Ministry, but we have all been called to do one thing: “return to thy own house, and show how great thing God hath done unto thee” (Luke 8 vs. 39). The first place you need to start today is among the people you love and live with. Tell them how great Jesus is. Tell them what HE’s done for you. Tell them what HE can do for them.
Prayer: Lord use me to propagate the Gospel.
Insight: Don’t pull off until tomorrow – Do it today!
