TODAY’S TOPIC: Utilise every opportunity
Text: Luke 8:40-48 (NIV):
"8:40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
8:41 Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house
8:42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.
8:43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her.
8:44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
8:45 "Who touched me?" Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you."
8:46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me."
8:47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.
8:48 Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Bible says that faith is assurance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen, adding that it is by it we shall see God. Because we know that faith heals and command's respect, we must not joke with it. If you don't apply faith, you may never go far in life. A woman with issue of blood understood this and had to summon courage to touch Jesus' cloak when others were interested in having Him to pray for them or visit their houses. This is a reality of life. Sometimes what God would use to heal or set us free from bondage may be to just say "I am healed" or carry any work for God in church, neighborhood or so. So never neglect these things when you see them. Opportunity comes once. Invest in yourself and you will see reasons to praise God. Be fearless and you will go higher in life as already ordained by the God, almighty.
