Don't Throng. Touch.

Don't Throng, Touch -
(Sunday special edition with 'Yomi Oladejo)

One of the fascinating stories I have ever read is the story of the woman in the Bible who defied multitudes to get what she desired. Jesus the anointed of God commanded multitudes both home and abroad in His earthly ministry and one day as the multitudes Thronged Him, something happened that caught His attention; "Someone Touched Him". I believe many would have used their body to hit Jesus or even rubbed body on Him. But then there came this woman who stood at a distance because of her predicament (12 years of haemorrhage) and said to herself 'if I can only touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole'. She wasn't aiming at joining the multitude thronging Him, she aimed at Touching Him and when she did, her touch made Jesus to ask, 'who touched my clothes?' He knew there was a touch different from other touches, it was a touch of faith, a deliberate touch, a focused touch that drew virtue from Him.

Are you in the presence of God, in the church, congregation, gathering, and you are just casual about it, so familiar, 'thronging' with the anointing and His Majestic presence that you are not touching the anointing not to talk of virtue flowing to you?

You've heard so much and sang much about Him touching you, well that's good, in fact there were people that Jesus touched but then it's time you began to reach out in faith to touch Him yourself because it's the same effect, whether He touches you or you touch Him, He is in fact available walking and working in the midst of His body, the Church. Don't wait. Reach Out to Him and receive your desires. The truth is someone must touch the other for the desire of the heart to be granted.

This touch must be definite and premeditated (Mark 5:38). Stop the habit of going to church or christian gatherings aimlessly. The popular song says 'there is something that makes me come into your presence...' but I believe every time you sing that song, God is asking 'What'? What brought you? Is it for fellowship, healing, instructions, deliverance, strength, what made you to come? Be definite as you enter God's presence, even if you are going there to sleep. Know this, 'what you don't expect you can’t experience'. Have an expectation as you go, that makes you to be focused. Finally, the touch is of faith (Mark 5:34). Don't be like people who go to church and forget their faith at home. Every thing in the kingdom is delivered into your hands by FAITH. Believe and you shall receive. Don't Throng, Touch. '...for as many as TOUCHED were made perfectly whole' Matthew 14:36.

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

House of Leaders or Warlords

As I ruminate on the ugly incidences that bewildered Benue House of assembly and the House of Representatives this outgoing week where law makers engaged in a free for all, I nodded my head in utmost dismay of what has become of the people we chose to lead us and make laws for us. This is not the first time we will be seeing something of such but every time it occurs it leaves a negative impression of incompetence, immaturity, clueless and law-less law makers on the heart of Nigerians and people all over the world watching. I'm not a political analyst neither do I want to become one but i'm an advocate of good 'leaders-in-a-ship' and I believe that what the nation deserves at this time is a way forward from where we are not engaging in blow throwing and cloth tearing. Leadership is not by occupying position, that is, you are not a leader by being in an office or by holding a post. Leadership is all about influence. Its all about the ability to transform a vi...
