Someone Touched Me


Wherever fear begins, faith ends. It takes courage to break that fear threshold
 ~ Kenneth Copeland

Who was it who touched me? When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you! So why the heck would you say someone touched you?
The Master answered, "Someone touched me for I know that power has gone out from me."

But when the woman who touched him (but before now has been suffering from hemorrhage for 12 years) saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, in the presence of all the people, she gave her testimony of how she was healed.

The most intriguing fact of this event was that other people were pressing against him, before and after this woman gave her testimony but still, nothing happened to them.

So what is the difference between these two set of people (the woman who had a testimony and those who had none)? This difference, in like manner is similar to the parable of those who received the word with joy when they hear it but have no root to grow, they enjoyed the moment for a while but found it difficult to summon the faith necessary for their own miracle.

This woman has already left a design for us to emulate, she did something radical, although the woman wasn't on the Master's agenda, the Master was on the woman's agenda as a matter of fact the master was on his way to the house of a man called Jarius.
Nevertheless. her determination was fueled by what she has heard so far; the testimonies of other people, how the unthinkable and miraculous had happened in their lives, thereby igniting her action with her faith.

A wise man once said, 'To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see'
The truth of the matter is that Faith doesn't work like a switch, it has to be developed and mastered.
The woman would have wished it didn’t take 12 years for solution to arrive and of course, she would have wanted the hemorrhage to vamoose  as soon as possible until she got a principle  on how to make her faith grow and the simple principle was to energize her physical senses to only allow in testimonies that covers her desires.

From what she hears, to what she sees and what she feels concerning her desires. She made them to be much more greater than anything contrary.

When you listen to the testimonies of others and how the miraculous had happened in their lives, let it ignite your action with your faith in God and see how easily faith works.
Don't just feel entertained by their testimonies, diligently search for those that covers your request.

It's popularly believed that in outer space you can bend time, so that a long distance doesn’t look that long anymore and you can easily hop from point A to point B, well, it works with Faith too, you can easily get solutions to problems no matter how big or distant it looks.
Faith makes you to easily touch the Master. Don't enjoy it for a while, enjoy it for a life time. You can read the full gist in Luke 8.

The Right Side of a Right Triangle and the Error of Your Judgments

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right" - Abraham Lincoln The perception of the Right side is definitely not talking about direction but it's a nonliteral expression of being on the Right side of something good and the Right Triangle obviously, is another name for Right angle Triangle. The illustration of the Right Triangle was borne out of curiosity, it was to understand a question, What if God's plan for my life was to move me from point A to point C but because of my free will to choose my direction all by myself and also because of some other factors I might have failed to consider, I found myself in position B. Why on the face of God's green earth should I say it was God who ordered my step to point B in the first place! ...If only I could differentiate how God ordered my steps there and the place of my own error, then probably, I'm on the right

Adding Value or Money: Which is more important?

Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the world by every business transaction. - Watter Wallace All monies are values but not all values are monies. To proof this fact, let’s consider this... Do you know that at the back of a British 10 pound note is written? "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the SUM of 10 pounds" I quickly checked the synonym of the word " sum " and there it was " value ", if I'll have to paraphrase it will be; "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the VALUE of 10 pounds" There you have it! What do you think? A misconstrue understanding of these two keywords - Value and Money, has affected some individuals such that they fail woefully under the test of conflict of interests. A wise man said to add value to anybody or anything find at least a need and try to meet this need with all Excellency . I was of the school of thought tha

The Mystique of Songs and its Parallel Purpose

"What you are hearing is creating what you are feeling and your personal happiness is influenced by the words that come out of your mouth" ~ Mike Murdock Can it be said that anything that operates in the realm of the intangible operates in the realm of the spirit? It's believed that everything that happens in our physical (tangible) world was first conceived in the spiritual (intangible), take for example, every invention started from an idea which is intangible in nature. Maybe, this saying is true after all; the spiritual births the physical. Recently, I've been fascinated by some stuffs and one of them is the word "Lullaby" , how come a soft music have a tremendous effect on a baby who doesn't even understand one plus one, I mean, how come such soft music soothes a baby, definitely, there must be some form of mystery behind such music. So, I decided to observe a lunatic man who is supposed to be in the psychiatric hospital but fo
