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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
