Amazed at Jesus

DATE - March 21st, 2022

TOPIC - Amazed at Jesus

BIBLE TEXT: Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. There, too, the people were amazed at the things he said, because he spoke with authority. . . . Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey him and flee at his command!” - Luke 4:31-32, 36
[Simon] was awestruck by the size of their catch, as were the others with him. - Luke 5:9




Throughout today’s passage in Luke, Jesus taught in the temple, delivered people from demons, and healed Simon’s mother-in-law and scores of others. Everywhere he went, those who were paying attention and heard him were filled with amazement and wonder at his authority and power. Later, when Jesus told Simon to take a different approach and cast the fishing net into deeper water, the attempt produced a catch so huge that it almost caused the boat to sink, and Simon was awestruck.

Although it is the same God who still does miracles and brings in a “catch” bigger than we can ask or think, who rules and reigns in our world today, many of us have lost our sense of awe and wonder and thus have ceased to truly worship him. If the weight of the burdens you’re carrying has snuffed out your sense of awe, picture yourself in the boat with Simon or at the bedside of his mother-in-law or as one of those healed by Jesus’ word. Ask the Holy Spirit today to open your eyes to see God’s marvelous works in your life and to fill you with wonder at what a great God he is.



PRAYER
LORD, restore my sense of wonder and awe as I look for you at every turn in my everyday, walkaround life. I want to be like those who heard you teach and were amazed at the things you said. Speak to my heart, and give me ears to hear. Open my spiritual eyes to see that you are working in the world around me. May I be filled with wonder and gratefulness at your great deeds.

INSIGHT
If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.

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...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
