The Thronging Crowd

DATE: September 13, 2021

TOPIC: The Thronging Crowd

BIBLE TEXT: Mark 3v9 – And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

Jesus Christ made plans to avoid the thronging crowd before they press, or step on him, or drag his clothing, all in the name of tapping from his anointing. Which majority do without faith! Jesus understood their intents and motives, because many of them came just for sightseeing, some came to see the man from Nazareth, some came to observe and to take gossip back home, while some came with true intentions of hearing the gospel. The crowd was filled with diverse intents of men’s hearts, doubts running through and various kinds of thoughts. The bible reveals to us that Jesus made plans to avoid the excesses of men.

There were several occasions where the crowd actually pressed on him, and yet none of them received anything from him because of their thoughts and perverseness. Save only the woman with the issue of blood, who came with an attractive/magnetic faith, and got the attention of Christ and received her healing miracle. Are you amongst the thronging crowd? Running from one crusade ground to another, yet your life situations remains the same! Christ has been making steady plans to avoid your perverseness and presence. Jesus preached the gospel and expects the people to believe the word of God and not throng him as many do to ministers and servants of God today.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose to hear your words and believe to receive from you. I repent from following the thronging crowd.

Insight: Jesus is not attracted to a thronging crowd but to those with faith.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...

No Weakness In Heaven

Date 📅 14th October, 2022 Topic No Weakness In Heaven Living Scripture Matthew 5:48 KJV Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Heaven is a place to dream about, a place where our Heavenly Father dwells. It is not the skies we see or the galaxy of wide space we watch on the satellite and internet. The Bible records that Heaven is God's throne, a place where there are innumerable hosts of angels serving the LORD. There's no weakness in God's presence, for His glory and power radiates through the whole existence. Every biblical angel as described are very powerful and well coordinated. So is everyone born of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ came from Heaven and taught us what Heaven is like. And all the illustrations given in the four gospel of Christ were full of maturity and perfection. God wants us to be like Him that's why we are made in His image and glory though resident here on earth but of the commonwealth of Heaven. Wit...
