A LEPER, YET A WORSHIPPER.

 Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside. Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached Jesus. He knelt before him, worshiping. "Lord," the man said,"if you want to, you can make me well again. "

Jesus touched him, "I want to," he said. "Be healed!" And instantly the leprosy disappeared. Matthew 8:1-3NLT

Ideclare: In the name of Jesus Christ, Receive an instant miracle in this month of November.

Hear me child of God, your circumstances should never take you away from God, rather draw you close to God.

In your moment of trial should be when you are closer to Jesus. 

In the above scripture, we are told of a leper who approached Jesus. In life, there are situations that can be beyond human control. When found in it don't draw back from God, rather get close to Jesus. I have seen cases where people rather stay at home than coming to church. I believed the sickness was never intentional but accidental. Such was the case of a Leper in our scripture. 

Who is a Leper? 
A Leper is a person with contaminated disease, a shameful disease, incurable. It is believed that anyone with the disease is isolated from the city. Such was the poor state of the leper. Sin can be a leprosy in a man's life. Anything that deteriorates a man's health, joy, peace can be referred as leprosy.

Question: Where do you go to when you are in crisis.

Because where you go to will determine what you received. Some people make mistake of running to Families, friends, Acquaintances, social media etc. No! That was not in the case of this leper. The bible says:

1. He went to Jesus. Wow! I thought when you are sick should be when you visit a doctor? Or a Herbalist? Or stay at home? No! Inspite of the leper deformity, he came to Jesus. Halleluyah!  You may not be where you want to be today? Or Not having where to lay your head? You may be sick, you may be rot in abject poverty? Whatever your case may be, Come to Jesus! The bible says, Come to Jesus all who are burdened and heavy laden, I will give you rest. The reason why you are still where you are in  life, neither move forward nor backward in life, is where do you go to for solution?

Your blessings is in the the place of worship. Never let anything take you away from your place of worship. 

Secondly, he discarded all shame, knelt down and worshipped God. If you will humble yourself in that situation and worship God, I see miracle coming to you suddenly in Jesus name. 
The Bible says, when Judas betrayed Jesus instead of coming to the cross, he chose to commit suicide. Don't choose that pathway. Come to Jesus as you are, He will make you the way you should be.
 
Thirdly, lepers are known to wear certain clothes. In order to cover their shame. No matter how cheap a clothes of shame is, you will not be able to afford it in Jesus name.

The leper told Jesus, if thou will, you can make me well again. Though the leper may not know what is in God's will for his health. He heard about Jesus and his deeds, faith arose in him. The Bible says, faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Let faith arise in you, because you are next for a miracle in Jesus name. 

I see you coming out of that sickness, coming out of every shameful acts, coming out of sin, every evil chain holding grip to your destiny break loose now in Jesus name.

Whatever form of leprosy in your life, in your family, in the name of Jesus be delivered now. 

Prayer of Salvation:
The leper came to Jesus...... Your first step to salvation is for you to come to Jesus. Say after me, Dear Jesus, I believe you are the son of God. You died for me and resurrected for my justification. I accept you into my heart as my Lord and Saviour. With my mouth  I confess Jesus is Lord. I receive forgiveness of all my sins. Thank you Father for the salvation of my soul. AMEN. 

God bless you. I await your testimony....

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

KEEP YOUR TONGUE AWAY FROM EVIL

As the Scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep your tongue from speaking evil and stop telling lies.  -1 Peter 3:10 (GNT) A lot of people desire not only to have a successful life, but also to enjoy life, but the reality is this; only few adhere to the principles that would eventually lead to having an enjoyable and productive life. From our scriptural text, we understand that one of the keys that guarantee access to an enjoyable life is to keep our tongue from speaking evil and to stay away from lies. Your life moves in the direction of your words. If you don’t like where your life is headed, then it is time to examine what has been coming out of your mouth. Any man that cannot have control over his tongue, cannot have control over his life as well. Proverbs 6:2 NIV says, “you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth". A lot of people have been trapped by the words they said. The struggle and ...

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses (I Timothy 6:12). In the journey of life, battles are not optional but mandatory. Even at birth, a child must be made to cry. At that point, he fights to overcome the force that wants to keep his lungs closed; so as to  live. Henceforth, various battles begin.  When one becomes born again, the dynamics of the fight changes. He will still fight but this time around it is a good fight. The bible calls it the “Good Fight of Faith”. The fight is a good fight; the weaponry is also a unique one, FAITH. So a believer fights the good fight of faith, this fight is  termed a good fight because the end is determined from the beginning. Victory is guaranteed at the end. It is a fight to be won. Halleluyah! It is like watching a replayed boxing match whose winner you already know. The same way, God is not bothered about what fight ...
