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.

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series.  I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply.  You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are.  Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...

August; Sudden Visitations

I remember anytime someone visits us unexpectedly we say this is an August visitor. We are surprised at the coming of the person and at the same time the person is highly welcomed. This actually doesn't mean the person came in August but it just denotes the arrival of an important person unexpectedly. Sudden Visitations brings with it surprises and blessings. For example, when God visited Sarah, barrenness was terminated, when He visited Obededom suddenly, Obededom became prosperous, when He visited Paul and Silas, their bond was loosed. And when he visits you too, your desires are met. Therefore, in this month of August, there shall be unexpected arrival of great things in your life. God will visit you this month. And understand that when God visits you, He doesn't come empty handed, He comes with a gift for you. I'm so full of assurance that you will have testimonies this month. Your head shall be lifted up, your hands shall be made strong , your feet shall be str...
