STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD


It takes few things to stand out from the crowd. The bible mention an issue in mark 5 vs 25-30.. of a woman with an infirmity for 12 years and have suffer a lot of humiliation and disappoint from physicians and false prophet in search for miracle of healing unto no avail... Lets consider this very passage with the Christians of today. We found out that so many in search of  miracle has fallen into the wrongs hands of those who acclaim to have solution to there problem, instead of finding an antidote to the problem they add to what we are experience. Is a typical example of the people of the world today. The bible said for 12 years she was seeking for solution where there was not, finding a healer in a strange world and not seeking for God who is the healer of all infirmities.

At a point when she find the true God there was a big contest because everyone want to receive a touch from Him (JESUS), they need to be impacted, they need to tap from the anointing… the bible says they where crowd, in mark 5 vs 24…. “much people followed him and they throng Him” but something makes a difference in the history of this woman despite the crowd, weakness and challenges of having an encounter with the master she stood on her ground and have just a little faith as a mustard seed  saying if only I can touch the hem of his garment I will be made hold…she was not struggling to see him physically but to get connected with him spiritually. She knew that by touching of Jesus garment she has seen him and that will bring an end to this 12 years of sorrows and pains.

For you to move out from the crowd you need to do something unusual and extraordinary except you want to still remain in the crowd where everyone want to meet the master you may be the hundredth person on the queue no one knows if it can be more than that. Get it straight salvation will not wait for you on your door post but you need to make a move to get it. Lets see someone who standout from the crowd again. “Zacchaeus” despite his stature and physical challenges he made a step forward doing something beyond human imagination just to see Jesus because he knew that Jesus will never meet him or see him in the crowd that was why he have to climb up on a tree so that his presence will be made known to the master and just one bold step brought salvation to his home( luke 19 vs. 2-10) … it can be yours who knows?

Do you want to give excuse of your deformity? Listen in the dictionary of God there is no excuse. So if you remain where you are it means you are the major cause of your stagnant position. Blind Bartimaeus despite he was blind in the midst of the crowd cried to Jesus for mercy, that was when he got Jesus attention and receive his healing (Mark 10 vs. 46-52). If you have been in the crowd you need to stand out and take forth what is rightly yours.  

Do you still wait in the crowd? Come out from the crowd just as the woman with infirmity did and get your long awaiting answers to your plea. Zacchaeus never allow his nature to deprive him from his salvation, Blind Bartimaeus never allow his absence of sight to stop him from calling Jesus for help at that point he has the opportunity to do so, you don’t need to relent because Miracle still happens, he is still the God that performs great signs, yours cant be an exceptional all you need is to make a move. Just one move can change the story of life. Jesus is still the same, yesterday, today and forever. Remain bless in Jesus name. AMEN
