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...

Sinner to Saint

Date 📅 20th October, 2022 Topic Sinner to Saint Living Scripture Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The journey of our convertion and transfiguration started when we decided to let go of our self and old ways and tune into the will of God by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the business of turning sinners to saints. Because of the fall of man from the beginning it was written that all mankind have sinned and come short of the supply of God's mighty glory. Which is why Christ Jesus died that we might be heirs and like heirs with Him in the kingdom of God. Without Jesus no one can be saved, all men without the knowledge and salvation of Christ are sinners. No man was born a saint, we are washed from stains, sins and disobedience into saints (children of God). The Bible is not full of men born as saints but rather men and women washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God and by the Word of God. Father Abrah...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
