Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. (Matthew 8:3 NIV) I came across this “touch-me-not” plant at work a few years ago. I accidentally touched it and due to its highly sensitive nature its compound leaves folded inward and drooped, which is theirContinue reading “Accept His Touch”

Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe
A synagogue ruler by the name of Jairus went to get Jesus because his twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Not long after, some men came from the house and told him not to bother Jesus because the girl had died. Jesus ignored them, told Jairus to believe and continued on his way. “When they came toContinue reading “Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe”
Rest to Refresh
There’s a good reason why the good Lord created a day for rest and asked us to do just that – rest. And it wasn’t about fulfilling a religious obligation but to help us feel better – mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. As Jesus reminded the religious leaders of His day who were all aboutContinue reading “Rest to Refresh”
Never Stop Believing and Expecting
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned thatContinue reading “Never Stop Believing and Expecting”
Manasseh
Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” (Genesis 41:51 NIV) Joseph endured many hardships in his life.

I Was Blind But Now I See!
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” (John 9:3 NIV) The blind man in John 9 lived with a label all his life until Jesus came along, that is. Since his birth, he was known for his disability.Continue reading “I Was Blind But Now I See!”
Just Say the WORD
In Matthew 8, a centurion, whose servant was sick at home, came to Jesus asking for help. When Jesus agreed to go and heal the servant, He was astonished to hear the centurion say: “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant willContinue reading “Just Say the WORD”
Just Say the Word
He sent out his word and healed them… (Psalm 107:20 NIV) I often heard this verse quoted by other Christians, but didn’t quite understand its meaning, until I started to believe. The Roman centurion did too. He believed that Jesus’ word was powerful enough to heal his beloved servant, who was sick and about toContinue reading “Just Say the Word”
Only Faith Beyond This Point
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 NIV) If faith is the key we need to unlock the doors we must pass through in life, not many of us would getContinue reading “Only Faith Beyond This Point”
