DAILY NUGGETS

In Mark 5:30 we read about Jesus Christ, turning around in the midst of the crowd to ask the question; “Who touched me?” Such a question was strange, if not shocking, to his accompanying disciples.
However, Jesus Christ understood why he asked the question. He explained that he knew the reason why. He said: “For virtue has gone out of me.”
The woman who was afflicted with bleeding for twelve years secretly thought and acted amidst the crowd to touch the helm of the clothes of Jesus. She exercised strong faith of touching Jesus’s clothing in order for herself to be healed. She had said within her that; “If I may only touch the helm of his garments, I shall be made whole.” Truly, she touched Jesus; and she received healing instantly.

God calls out to the whole family of mankind to look up to Him. This is another period in human history that we all need God’s merciful intervention and deliverance from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Mankind has carelessly brought avoidable human disaster upon the world. Selfishness, pride, greed, arrogance and unthinkable wickedness in individuals, groups and governments have brought about this nagging agent of death. Cooperation, humility and selflessness can bring about the needed change, healing and victory.

God can make this to happen when we seek Him and humbly surrender to Him. He said: Look unto me all the ends of the earth and be ye saved. For I am God and there is none else.
God also said:
“Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.”
Jeremiah 33:3.
The perfect remedy for mankind is in humbly seeking after God. The LORD God of creation knows all things. He can do all things. Nothing is too hard for him. God’s blessings be upon you and your entire family and nation.

All Power Belong To The LORD God.

Inspite of all the ravaging disease and deaths, the LORD God is still in control of the whole world. He is a merciful God. He loves the whole world. He loves mankind whom He created. God will give us a way out of this agent of death. Having failed so many times before and on this ocassion, it is not too late to cry out and look up to God for merciful deliverance.

To the numerous families across the globe which have been bereaved, we send heartfelt condolences. May the LORD God comfort you all during these challenging times of mourning. May you experience in ways greater than before, the powerful refreshing presence of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

The LORD God is greater than all. He is greater than our collective failures. God is greater than all of our collective fears and anxieties. He is greater than all of our collective achievements in all fields of human endeavours. Of course, the reason for that is due to the fact that He is the source of true wisdom and knowledge.

At this juncture in human history, man has misfired. Mankind has lost his way again. Mankind is not being open enough with one another. There is race or competition for economic, technological and political supremacy among the top class nations of this world. God is watching us all, even as the blame game and buck-passing goes on.

It is written: If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask from God. God would grant him wisdom joyfully, provided it is for a good purpose. Individuals should ask for wisdom. Leaders of governments across the globe should ask for wisdom. Scientists should ask for wisdom. Frontline Health, Security and Essential Services workers should ask for wisdom. Others who form the overwhelming majority of the populace should also ask for wisdom. God would bless us all with great answers for effective solution in our messed up world.

The old time-tested message comes to all; to the young and old. It comes to the leadership and the followership; to the rich, poor, noble and peasant.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon Him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:6-7.

God Almighty said: Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. Romans 10:13.

Let the whole world seek God now. He will answer us and rescue us. In these days of challenging complexities in human behaviour and governance, we need God to help us. He is waiting and eager to come to our rescue. Let human pride, stubbornness and arrogance be subdued by humility. Let us seek God now. God bless you.
