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....

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

START WITH PRAYER.

 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 Starting the year in prayerlessness is a very dangerous move to make. From the scripture above, we see David placing a demand on God in the place of prayer for early satisfaction. He is asking God God to satisfy him early with mercy. Why was he specific by adding "early" and not just saying oh Lord satisfy us with your mercy? The mistake most of us make in our prayer, is failure to be specific and detailed in our prayer. The demand for earl satisfaction will result to early accomplishment and achievements. Now is the time for you to learn this wisdom from David and tell the Lord that you desire to be satisfied early in 2021 with his mercy, favour, goodness, presence, wisdom, success and vision. Halleluyah! Lateness and delay is when the achievement of January is accomplished in December. May you not be found sleeping while your mate are succeeding, maximising their year and prosperin

THE POWER OF PATIENCE.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my saviour; my God will hear me (Micah 7:7). One of the characteristics of a matured believer is in his or her ability to patiently wait on God for his intervention even in the midst of fierce oppositions and challenges. From the anchor scripture, we see the prophet making this his personal choice- “But as for me”. He was intentional about it. You see, in life, you have to understand that following the crowd always can make you miss out on God’s plan for your life. There are decisions you have to make of which other people may never support or understand, because you desire to please God with your life and not man. Others may choose to cut corners, seek for short cuts which will ultimately cut them short. Some cheat their way through due to impatience, pressure to fit in, and low self-esteem. As believers, our response to life ought to be different. Prophet Micah said “I wait in hope for the LORD” do you know that, ho
