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.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...
