Be not afraid only believe.

Be not afraid only believe 

Mark  5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,  5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.  5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.  5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?  5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 

Just like Jairus had a challenge that frightening him. Our Lord who knows all things saw it and encouraged him not to be afraid but believe.

Perhaps you too might be facing a fearsome health challenges or oppressive satanic challenges. 

Our Lord through the blessed Holy Spirit is saying the same thing to you this morning. Don’t be afraid, just believe.

By the time they got to Jairus house, the twelve years old daughter had died.

But Jesus was equal to the task. Without stress, He brought her back to life.

Mark  5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.  5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Remember He is still the same Jesus, He has not change and will never ever change.

Hebrews  13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Our Lord is saying to you concerning this challenge frightening you.

John  11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.  11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?  11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

You can see more complex and more frightening challenge.

Jesus turned it around. You will experience same in Jesus name.

In fact listen to what our Lord is saying to you concerning your fearful challenge.

Luke  21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Whatever is the severity of the hopeless situation of sicknesses or oppressive satanic challenges.

This morning in the name of the Lord, you shall definitely have a testimony in Jesus name.

But Jesus give Jesus opportunity to bless you now and also in the next world 

Mark  10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

Our Lord blesses His people in two worlds. Here and hereafter.

Do you have qualifications that guarantees His blessings in your life here and hereafter?

Are you born again?

Are you a new creature?

Is your name in the book of life?

Are you walking on the narrow road that leads to heaven or you are on the broad road.

How prepared are you for the imminent rapture?

If Jesus comes today, are you a wise virgin with oil in your vessel?

Our Lord had made adequate provisions to address all the above requisites.

Go to Him first in prayer to fix anything you discover can disqualify you for the next world.

Don’t be a miserable churchgoer who comes to Jesus to address only challenges in this world.

1 Corinthians  15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Tell Jesus what you still need for the next world.  Once that is settled, the fearsome health and satanic oppressive challenges shall be addressed seamlessly.

Remember He is still the same Jesus.

Hebrews  13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

He is anointed to heal and deliver all and that includes you.

Acts  10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Let us pray.
