Luke 8:40-48
Memory Verse: As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped” Luke 8: 42b – 43
The Bible, in the Book of Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 1 gave the definition of Faith as: “……. confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” The story of the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years recorded in the reference passage of this month’s Message is a good practical demonstration of what faith is. This woman, who had been having blood issuing from her, must have gone through a lot of stress, running from ‘pillar to post’ searching for healing and deliverance, without any solution to her problems. Possibly she might have been used, abused and taken advantage of in the process. So evidently this woman with the issue of blood might have suffered many indignities and in the hands of those whom she went to for help.
However, when she heard that Jesus was on his way to the house of Jairus to heal his only daughter, she quickly followed and joined the crowd, intent on getting close to Jesus to enable her touch the helm of His garment. She thought within her, ‘if I can only touch the helm of His garment, I believe I will be made whole’ And of course immediately she did so, she was instantly healed! This is a demonstration of great faith, which resulted in an uncommon miracle.
Faith is having or demonstrating great trust, confidence and belief in the ability and goodness of someone to do exactly what you are looking up to them for. This woman had faith in Jesus Christ, and believed that if could just touch His garment, she will be healed. And this came true for her. So, is there anything you have been seeking the face of God for in your life? Have sat up many nights worried about a situation or you have been spending your days moving from one place to the other searching for solution or intervention of some sort? The message of this month is encouraging you to take a step, in demonstration of similar great faith as the lady with the issue of blood and you will surely receive your miracle, whatever it is. I admonish you to stand firm and believe that our God and Father ‘is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us’. You will surely receive an uncommon miracle! One that will be so unique and astounding that every eye that sees it will tingle and ears that hear it will marvel at what God has done!
May the Lord bless and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace, now and forevermore. Amen.
Prayer: O! Lord, grant me the grace of great faith, so that I will receive the grace for uncommon miracles in my life this month in Jesus mighty name
