Topic :Jesus Wants To Live In You.
Memory Verse :Luke 7:, 15. The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
Bible Reading :Luke 7:12-14 GNB. Key Verse : v14.
Just as he arrived at the gate of the town, a funeral procession was coming out. The dead man was the only son of a woman who was a widow, and a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart was filled with pity for her, and he said to her, “Don’t cry.” Then he walked over and touched the coffin, and the men carrying it stopped. Jesus said, “Young man! Get up, I tell you!”
Jesus had just finished healing the servant of an Italian military captain or commander. Then he was going into the city of Nain when he met a burial procession at the entrance of the city. A widow had just lost her only precious possession who was her only son and hope to death. Her pain and sorrow had no comparison. He world was crumbling down. Because it was death, she was very devastated in her hopeless and helpless situation. When she met Jesus, he understood what she was passing through in her pain and gave her a reason to reason laugh again. “You know about Jesus of Nazareth and how God poured out on him the Holy Spirit and power. He went everywhere, doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil, for God was with him.” Acts 10:38.
What stopped the negative flow of events in the life of the widow in the city of Nain was just a casual contact or meeting with Jesus on the way. Jesus was so caring that he couldn’t continue his journey without doing something to get this very widow out of her pain, so that she could rejoice again. Now, imagine the sudden change that would have taken place in that environment and city on that very day. The mourning procession suddenly turned into a celebration of restoration of life at the split of a second because Jesus showed up. In like manner, he is here to show up in your own life and situation today. His mission is to turn your mourning into laughter. “This was done to make what the prophet Isaiah had said come true: “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, on the road to the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee, land of the Gentiles! The people who live in darkness will see a great light. On those who live in the dark land of death the light will shine.”” Matthew 4:14-16.
Today, Jesus mission here is not just to drop a miracle in your life and leave. Rather, he wants to build a working relationship with you, he wants you to be his abode. He desires to reveal himself to you, so that you can have first hand experience of the depth and reality of his love for you that made him die painfully on the cross to give you indestructible life. Don’t just take his miracle and leave, rather desire to know him the more by drawing closer to him daily. That is how to build a relationship with him that gurrantees you a lifetime of his endless interventions anytime you have need of it. “Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how can it be that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “Whoever loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and my Father and I will come to him and live with him.” John 14:22-23.
Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for your love for me that knows no boundaries. Thank you for giving up your life, so that I may live by you. Help me to always draw closer to you daily. Make me a man you can always live in by your Spirit, in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 25:1-27.
