Just Trust Me

DATE - February 21st, 2022

TOPIC - Just Trust Me

BIBLE TEXT - She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched the fringe of his robe. For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his clothing, I will be healed.” Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel that she had been healed! . . . While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from Jairus’s home with the message, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.” But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.”Mark 5:27-29, 35-36



In this amazing chapter of Mark’s Gospel we read of two miracles Jesus performed: the healing of the woman with a hemorrhage (Issue of blood) and the raising of Jairus’s daughter from the dead. The doctors had given up on the woman, taken all her money, and instead of healing her had left her worse than before. Yet with just the touch of her finger on Jesus’ robe, all the blood dried up and all the disease was gone from her body. Likewise, no one had hope for Jairus’s daughter; she had died, and the neighbors were already bringing food and mourning with the family. But one touch from Jesus raised her to new life.

But that happened way back in Bible days, we may think. It’s not relevant to my life today. On the contrary, the same power that went out through the hem of Jesus’ garment and through his words “Get up little girl!” is available to us today. God desires that through the Holy Spirit, we know and understand the unlimited, surpassing greatness of his power for us when we trust him. 

Voice your needs and cares to God, and then receive these words he speaks to you, his child, this day: “Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.”


PRAYER
Heavenly FATHER, I praise you that the same power that raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead, healed the woman with a hemorrhage (Issue of blood), and raised Jesus from the dead is available to us through your Spirit! 

• Open the eyes of my heart to see, know, understand, and believe in the working of your power in and for us who believe.

INSIGHT
God has in himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you.

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 ...
