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.

You and your Weakness

S o many times I have had interactions with people on particular negative habits they exhibited and more often than none their responses has always been, 'that's just my weakness'. Therefore I attempted to learn more about weakness and thus I'm sharing with you my discoveries about weaknessess. First,  a weakness is a crack in your wall. When you don’t master a weakness, it leaves you exposed, helpless and defenceless. Those who don’t pay attention to their fallibility fall in disgrace and face dismays.  Examples of weakness include but not limited to, Lack of organization, Exaggeration,, Discontentment, Gluttony, Procrastination, Lack of time management, Lust, Excessive spending, Anger, Jealousy, Impatience, Pride.

Monday Morning Motivation ; Attitude is Everything

Monday Morning Motivation (M-Cube) Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Attitude is simply a mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Simply put, it's the way we act due to the mental picture and belief system formed within us. This makes attitude a product of the mind; thoughts. It is how you see the things around you, how you deal with the situations you face, and what you think about life. You've got to listen to yourself. If you sound like "God, my life is so difficult. I will never be rich... Everything works against me.... Everyone hates me...” then, you have a problem. Many times what hinders us from progressing in life and being the best is a negative attitude. A negative attitude is like a flat tyre, if you don't change it you're going nowhere. Even though we can't control the obstacles on our ways, we can control our attitude. If you maintain a positive attitude no m...

Career Fulfilment

Many of us work an average of eight (8) hours a day five (5) days a week between the age of 18 to 65. The amazing fact about this is that we spend a total of 100,000 hours of our lifetime working. Can you then imagine doing something that doesn’t give you fulfilment? One of the keys to career fulfilment therefore is to enjoy what you're doing. It's burdensome to be doing what you don't like or created to do. It's totally frustrating and time wasting. And that's the reason many people are not productive in their work. When I said productive, I'm not talking about acquiring material possessions because even some that engage doing what they don't enjoy doing have been able to acquire cars, built houses and have the 'toys of life'. Productivity here is mind creativity; a sense of fulfilment, a sense of joy that comes from doing what you are wired or created to do.  This is the difference between those working to make a living and those working to make ...
