IT'S WORKING

“...Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.”
(1 Kings 18: 44)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, Elijah’s servant saw a little cloud out of the sea. Elijah prayed for the rain to fall, but after his prayers, all that came out was a little cloud. What showed up did not look like what Elijah prayed for. A heavy rain should naturally come with heavy cloud, but the servant saw a little cloud.

After the little cloud, the rain fell, and it came in abundance. After what looked too little to make a difference, there was a difference. The initial signs seemed insignificant, but the result was amazing and undeniable. That little cloud led to the heavy abundant rain. It was little, but it was all a part of the bigger picture.

Friend, you may have prayed for an ‘abundance of rain’, yet all you see is a ‘little cloud’; God says, your ‘little cloud’ will lead to abundance. The signs may be small, but the result will be amazing and outstanding. Your initial gains may be little, but bigger gains are on the way. Your ‘small’ job is a platform for bigger jobs you desire. The small profit of today is a harbinger for tomorrow's huge profit.

The little you see is a sign of bigger things to come. The little favours will lead to bigger favours; the small open doors will lead to bigger open doors; the small signs of improvement will lead to amazing results you can't explain or imagine.

Celebrate every little sign that God has shown you; celebrate every sign that suggests that your story is about to change. Something bigger is coming.

Job 8 vs. 7 says: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.”

Prayer: Lord, every little sign of my progress will culminate in great progress, in Jesus’ name! Amen

MAKE THINGS HAPPEN

“So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,”
(1 Kings 18: 42)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Whilst Ahab went to eat and drink in anticipation of the abundance of rain, Elijah went to pray for the abundance of rain. Ahab went to sit back until God’s word is made manifest, but Elijah went into prayer to facilitate the fulfillment of God’s word. Ahab sat down to watch things happen, but Elijah prayed for things to happen.

Friend, God says, make things happen. Make prayers that will cause God to turn things around. Bring forth ideas that will take your world by storm. Push God to intervene in your family, career, business, city, nation, etc. Let your presence make the difference in your team; let your competence bridge the gap between expectations and fulfillment of expectations.

It may be convenient to sit back and watch things happen, but it is more fulfilling, rewarding and prestigious to make things happen. Inactivity is a highway to irrelevance. You may not be the only one to benefit from whatever you can make happen, but God says, make things happen on behalf of others.

In the game of life, those who make things happen are players, while those who watch things happen are spectators. If you remain a spectator, you will only see the movie of life without being a principal actor. If you sit prayerlessly to watch things happen, even the devil will make things happen to your detriment.

Don’t be counted among docile spectators who sit back while others do the work, prayers, brainstorming, etc. Play your part to make things happen. You won’t be remembered for things you watched while they happened; you'll be remembered for what you made happen.

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to make things happen, in Jesus’ name! Amen

People of God praise the Lord!

I want to give God Almighty, the God of Elijah, the God of servant Vic all the glory for His endless mercies upon my life and family.

We are currently working on a major project ( the testimony is loading ) through Divine instruction from the God of servant Vic. It was financially draining but God himself is doing it and we can't explain how.

We decided to relax after the major payment because our house rent was due at the same time.

Suddenly there was strong wind with rain. We found out all our apartment was leaking. It is a one bedroom apartment, bedroom, sitting room even toilet too was leaking and no where to hide. We were so sad that night and we briefly talked about moving. The following day my husband was already searching for another apartment. I was not happy when he told me but I kept mute because I thought we should concentrate on the project we are given instruction to do from God which is going to bring in more money.

When I thought about how Miracle's bed was wet, I totally succumbed unknown to me that God of servant Vic is at work in my home again.

I joined my husband and we started looking for the accommodation. Hmmm, the amount they were calling was alarming for the kind of house we were seeing. Then I told my husband we should try 2 bedroom apartment because of the way God has been expanding us but the amount they were calling and agent fees were just not reasonable to us. After long search, we will get back home tired and more confused. I knelt down and prayed to the God of servant Vic to help us out. We had a target rent amount which we had at hand but the agent and lawyer fees we were still working to save for. Second day after that prayer, we decided to intensify our search more and went to one area, we just went straight as if Holyspirit directed us, it was a 3 big bedrooms and new house, tastefully built with masters bedroom, and 2 extra toilet and bath, well tiled kitchen, the 3 rooms has wardrobe and beautifully painted with beautiful tiles everywhere, we checked it and I concluded this one will be very expensive, we ask for the price for the sake of asking, hmmm people of God, the amount is exactly our budget, a little bit above our current rent and the landlord said he doesn't want any agent, lawyer 20k, I was surprised! Then the spirit told me that I ask the God of servant Vic to help me out and this is it! Same area with our current location, we don't have the extra 20k for the lawyer, we were still brainstorming where to quickly go and work to get the 20k, people of God before we drove out to the end of that street, we received alert of exactly that 20k, I was more shocked this time. We met with the owner of the house and paid.

It was so glaring to me and my husband that it was the God of servant Vic that did it. Very obvious.

We bless the name of God Almighty, the true God, thank you Jesus, the God of Elijah, the God of servant Vic.

Hallelujah!

Thank u Lord Jesus

RESTORATION

“And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.”
(1 Kings 18: 43)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

When Elijah sent his servant to look towards the sea, to see if the rain had begun or at least clouds gathering, the servant came back to say that there was nothing. Elijah had begun to pray for the rain to come, God promised to bring the rain, but despite Elijah’s prayers, nothing was forthcoming. It seemed that Elijah’s expectation was being delayed.

When the rain eventually came, everything happened so fast. After what looked like a delay, things happened so fast. After the delay, there was recovery. After the delay, God responded with the miracle of restoration with compensation. After a season of delay came a spectacular season of speed.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: for every delay you have experienced in life, there shall be restoration with compensation. For every time you were slowed down in your movement in life, God will cause your movement to happen with speed. For every delayed expectation, God will cause you to have restoration with compensation. For every season where things became really slow in your life, God will cause things to happen really fast and at the same time.

God will grant you restoration in areas where you have lost time. God will bring you speed for the years when your life moved at a slow pace. God will cause you to experience speed in the places where processes and protocols slowed you down. For all the days you prayed and it seemed that God was silent, you will experience a mighty visitation that will compensate you.

Take every case of delay in your life to God and ask Him for the miracle of restoration with compensation.

Prayer : Lord, for every time I have lost, let there be restoration with compensation, in Jesus’ name! Amen

ELEMENTS OF NATURE

“And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.”
(1 Kings 18: 40)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, Elijah slew the prophets of Baal at Brook Kishon. The word ‘Kishon’ means ‘bow’. A bow is a weapon of war. So Elijah took the prophets of Baal to a ‘weapon’ and he gained victory over them. In Judges 5 vs. 21, Deborah spoke of how Kishon swept away her enemies. A natural element worked for Deborah and later worked for Elijah.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: the elements of nature will work for your good. As the wind blows, it will work for your good; as the sun shines, it will work for your good; as the rain falls, it will work for your good; and as the moon shines, it will also work for your good. When there is a storm, instead of being a victim, you will be a beneficiary.

Scriptures speak about how the sun will not smite us by day, neither the moon by night (see Psalm 91). So it’s possible to be smitten by elements of nature; it’s possible that as the sun arises, it will arise with ill luck. God says, when the elements of nature smite others, they won’t smite you. They may smite your haters, but they won’t smite you.

Deborah testified about how river Kishon swept away her enemies. So Kishon worked for her good, and also worked against her enemies. God says, as the elements of nature work for your good, they will work against your adversaries and haters. As the elements of nature work to raise you, they will bring down those who are against you.

Command the elements of nature to work for your good. Before the sun rises every morning, command it to work for you; command the land to work for you; command every element of nature to work for your good.

Prayer: Lord, may the elements of nature work for my good, in Jesus’ name! Amen

THE PLACE OF TESTIMONY

“And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.”
(1 Kings 18: 40)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In Judges 5 vs. 21, Deborah sang a song about how the river Kishon swept away the enemies that came against Israel. She testified about how river Kishon worked for her good and worked against her enemies; she spoke of how she had a testimony out of Kishon. Kishon was a place where she received a testimony.

In our Focal Scripture, Elijah slew the prophets of Baal at Brook Kishon. He gained victory over his enemies in the same place where Deborah gained victory. He got a testimony at the same place where Deborah gained hers. Elijah was not a spectator at the place of testimony; he also got his own testimony.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: you will not be a spectator at the place of testimony. As others testify, you too will testify; as others speak of their breakthroughs, you too shall have your own breakthroughs; as others speak of the open doors they have received from the Lord, you too will speak of your own open doors; as others make progress, you too will make progress; as others have reasons to speak of what God has done, you won’t be left out.

Deborah and Elijah did not live in the same dispensation; so Deborah got her own testimony at some point, while Elijah got his at another time. Don’t lose faith when it seems that people around you have received testimonies ahead of you; your own is coming, and as they testified, so shall you also testify.

Are there testimonies that people around you have received and you desperately desire to have same? God says, your own is coming; just like Elijah got his testimony at Brook Kishon, you will get yours.

Prayer : Lord, at the place of testimony, I shall not be left behind, in Jesus’ name! Amen

KEEP FOLLOWING

“But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.”
(Matthew 15: 23)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, despite the entreaties of the woman from Tyre and Sidon, Jesus didn't speak a word to her. She had a challenge that needed divine intervention, she met Jesus face to face, but He didn't give her any reply. She desperately wanted an answer to a puzzle she couldn’t solve, but Jesus didn’t give her an answer.

Despite the fact that she did not immediately get an answer from Jesus, she kept following Him. She did not immediately get what she was looking for from Jesus, but she kept following Jesus. She kept following even when she was still empty handed. She followed even when her following was yet to pay off. She followed when nothing worked.

Friend, have you ever done everything to get Jesus’ attention, yet it seems He is not in a hurry to respond to you? Have you ever cried, prayed, sowed seeds and waited on God for answers you desperately need, yet He is curiously silent on your case?

Glean some wisdom: when you have no answers despite your repeated prayers, keep following Jesus. When you can't see the results of your fasting, prayers, seed sowing, etc, keep following Jesus. When it seems that Jesus is yet to give you attention despite all you’ve done to get His attention, keep following Him. Follow Jesus even if He seems to have left you empty handed.

The woman of Tyre and Sidon didn't follow Jesus in vain; she later got the results she wanted. If you keep following Jesus, in a matter of time, you will get what you're looking for. Follow Jesus and He will answer you.

Job 13 vs. 15 says: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.”

Prayer : Lord, even if You don’t answer me, I will still follow You, in Jesus’ name! Amen

SPIRITUAL UNDERTONES

“...a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying ...my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.”
(Matthew 15: 22)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

The woman in our Focal Scripture told Jesus that her daughter was vexed with a demon. Her daughter was suffering as a result of evil spirits. Her daughter was afflicted by demons. The young girl suffered physically because of a spiritual affliction within her. It was a spiritual problem that manifested physically.

Some physical, health, marital, etc challenges are manifestations of spiritual afflictions by the devil and demons. An enterprise may crumble because the enemy afflicted it and caused it to go down; what may appear purely physical may have a spiritual undertone.

Friend, God says, fight every demonic activity responsible for the physical challenges in and around you. Pray against every satanic projection causing harm to different areas of your life. Pray against every monitoring spirit that is causing you repeated negativities.

Pray against every negative controversial issue that can't be physically explained. Pray against the hand of the enemy in your family, children, marriage, career, business, ministry, academics, health, finances, nation, etc.

That woman who met Jesus was sensitive enough to know that her daughter’s problem was spiritual. If she didn’t know, maybe she would keep running around, seeking physical solutions to a spiritual problem. If you don't discern the spiritual undertones behind your physical challenge, you might invest in physical solutions that won't make any difference.

Look beyond every physical challenge and ask God to open your eyes to the spiritual undertone. Then, pray against it and seek divine intervention until the challenge disappears.

Prayer : Lord, help me to discern and defeat the spiritual forces behind my physical challenges, in Jesus’ name! Amen

BELIEVE IN YOUR FUTURE

“...a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David...”
(Matthew 15: 22)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, the woman whose daughter was afflicted by demons called Jesus “thou Son of David”. When the Israelites called Jesus the son of David, they implied that He was the Messiah and that He was coming back to sit on the throne of David.

When they called Him “Son of David”, they were making reference to the future. So when that Gentile woman addressed Jesus as the “Son of David’, she simply believed in, and confessed a future she had not seen.

Friend, believe God for the future you are yet to see. Believe God for the greater heights you have not yet attained. Believe God for the amazing results you are yet to see with your eyes; believe God for the promises in His word that will be fulfilled in the future; believe God for your future possessions; even when the future seems far from you, believe that it will soon become your reality; believe in the future.

The woman of Tyre and Sidon later met the Jesus she believed in. The future she believed in later became her reality. God says, if you believe in your future, it will become your reality. If you believe God for the impossibilities you desire in your future, soon, they will become possible. Your belief is your link to a great future.

Speak into the future. Even if the future looks bleak, declare that it will end in praise and in your favour. Even if the future you desire makes no sense to people around you, keep speaking it until it becomes your reality.

1 Corinthians 2 vs. 9 says: “...Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

Prayer : Lord, I believe You for the future I am yet to see; cause it to become my reality, in Jesus’ name! Amen

GROW YOUR FAITH

“...a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.”
(Matthew 15: 22)

When the woman in our Focal Scripture met Jesus, she sought divine intervention. She spoke like one who believed that Jesus could rescue her daughter from bondage. She believed that Jesus was more powerful than the challenge her daughter faced. She believed in Jesus before she met Him.

This woman from Tyre and Sidon met Jesus, and that was the end of her daughter’s challenge. She met who she believed in. It started as a belief, but her belief later became her reality. Her belief became her future/result. Her belief altered the course of her generation. Her belief connected her to higher results that her location could not offer.

Friend, grow your faith and belief in God. Grow your confidence in what God can do; go beyond what your location can offer and expect the unbelievable and unimaginable from God. Believe God for the impossible; believe God for what you are yet to see; believe God for what hasn't happened for people around you; believe God for bigger things.

The woman of Tyre and Sidon later got what she believed. God says, your faith will connect you to uncommon results. Your belief will become your future; what you believe God for will soon become your testimony/reality; your faith will alter the course of your future; your faith in God will open the doors that have been shut against you.

Stop complaining and start believing God for more. If Jehovah is involved, your faith will become your reality; your faith will activate uncommon results.

Hebrew 11 vs. 6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Prayer : Lord, may my faith bring me uncommon results, in Jesus’ name! Amen

BE DIFFERENT

“...a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David...”
(Matthew 15: 22)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

When the woman of Tyre and Sidon met Jesus, she called Him “Lord, thou son of David”. She lived in a pagan, gentile territory, but she had a deep revelation about Jesus. Her location didn't limit her knowledge of God. Her location didn't feed her. There was a godless environment around her, but she believed in and connected to a God higher than her location.

Friend, when you allow your location to feed you, you will be like your location, but when you allow God to feed you, you will be higher than your location. If you allow God to pour His word into you, you might still be in a godless environment, yet your life will speak of God’s mercies and intervention. When you connect to God’s word despite what happens around you, your Exceeding Expansion will continue against all odds.

That woman could have been excused if all she knew was what people in her location knew; but she went further by knowing the Lord. She knew what her location didn't know. Don’t allow your location to limit your knowledge; don’t be limited by limitations in your location.

Know what people around you don’t know; know God more than the people around you; be better than people around you; be better than your location; if people in your location are ungodly, be godly; if they have no hope/faith, hold fast to your own hope/faith.

Knowing what her location did not know connected the woman to a result her location could not offer. Break away from the confines of your location, and you shall have what your location can't offer.

Romans 12 vs. 2 says: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...”

Prayer : Lord, my location will not feed me; I am fed by Your word, in Jesus’ name! Amen

A CHANNEL OF GRACE

“And, behold, a woman of Canaan... cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.”
(Matthew 15: 2)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

When the woman of Tyre and Sidon met Jesus, she didn't come because of her own problem; she came because of her daughter’s problem. Her daughter was tormented by a demon. Her daughter was under attack; her daughter was a victim of the enemy; her daughter needed divine intervention.

This woman did not ask Jesus to have mercy on her daughter. She said, “Have mercy on me”. She sought for mercy that would flow to her daughter who was afflicted; she sought to receive and convey the mercies of Jesus to her daughter; she sought to be the channel through which someone connected to her will receive from God.

Friend, God says, go beyond what you can receive for yourself and seek what you can receive for people connected to you. Be the channel through which God's grace will be poured into your home. Be the conduit through which God's grace and divine intervention will reach those connected to you. Instead of being a tank, be a channel.

Children are the future generation. So, that woman sought for mercy for her future generation. Beyond seeking the grace of God that you will enjoy, seek the divine intervention, mercy and grace of God that your future generations can enjoy. Attract generational blessings to generations coming after you.

It began with an encounter with Jesus, and that encounter was the platform for that woman to become a conduit of God’s grace and mercy in her family and generation. Seek a fresh encounter with God everyday, and you will remain a channel of grace.

1 Peter 4: 10 says: “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”

Prayer : Lord, make me a channel of Your grace, in Jesus’ name! Amen

NOT BY CROWD

“And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David...”
(Matthew 15: 22)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In bible times, Jesus was often followed by a multitude; but when He went to Tyre and Sidon, there was no multitude, yet the woman recognized Him. There was no crowd to suggest that it was Jesus, yet that woman recognized Him.

Sometimes, we are more conscious of Jesus when there is a crowd. Sometimes, we are more conscious of pleasing the Lord when people are watching, failing to do same when no one is watching. Sometimes, who we are when people are watching is not who we are when no one is watching. Sometimes, we find zeal and passion for God and for prayer when people are watching, and lose same when no one is watching.

Friend, even when there is no crowd, recognize and honour Jesus. Live your life in recognition of Jesus even if no one recognizes and honours Him around you. Live for God even if there is no crowd to recognize His presence in your life. Be prayerful even if no one is watching; be committed to Jesus even if no one notices your commitment/ dedication.

The presence of Jesus in your life is not about the crowd. It’s about Him. It’s not about who is watching; it’s about who He is in your life. If you are driven by the crowd, you will miss the point of Jesus’ presence and what He can do for you and in you when no one is around. If you measure the presence of Jesus according to the crowd, you are missing the mark.

Look beyond the crowd and see Jesus wherever you are. Even if no one is watching you, know that Jesus is watching. Even if no one recognizes Jesus around you, know that He is there.

Prayer : Lord, even when there is no crowd, I choose to see and honour You, in Jesus’ name! Amen

SHORTENED JOURNEY

“And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.”
(Matthew 15: 22)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Our Focal Scripture speaks of when Jesus moved to the coast of Tyre and Sidon, and met a woman whose daughter was tormented by a demon. In Bible times, when people needed Jesus’ intervention, they often went to where He was, or sent emissaries; but this woman literally met Jesus at her doorstep. Who she was looking for came looking for her. Her journey to her solution was shortened.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: your journey will be shortened. Your race to the top will be shortened. Grace will deliver your expected results to you at your doorsteps. The things you should be chasing after will miraculously start chasing after you. The people you need to meet for help will suddenly come looking for you. The results you need to work for will come to you without much effort. Grace will shorten your journey.

By reason of God’s grace, your journey to the completion of your projects has been shortened. The journey to your accomplishments, miracles, etc has been shortened. The things that should take time will no longer take time. It may have taken time for others but it won’t take time in your own case. Others may have worked for it but it's coming to you.

Jesus didn't come to Tyre and Sidon with pomp and pageantry. The things that are coming to you may not come with noise, others may not know that it is coming to you, but God says, it is coming and your journey to it has been shortened.

Look beyond your efforts and ask God to open your eyes to see what is coming to you. Ask God to bring you what you are looking for. Ask God to shorten your journey to your goals and achievements.

Prayer : Lord, let Your grace shorten my journey, in Jesus’ name! Amen

BE LIKE JESUS

“21. Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts...”
(Matthew 15: 21-22)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Before Jesus had an encounter with the woman in our Focal Scripture, He left the multitude that was with Him; the woman also left the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. Tyre and Sidon was a pagan territory; it was synonymous with ungodliness; so that woman departed from ungodliness before she met Jesus. She left the crowd; her action was similar to Jesus’ action.

After she left her multitude, the woman encountered Jesus. She did something similar to what Jesus did, and Jesus seemed to draw closer to her for that reason. What was found in Jesus (departure from crowd/multitude) was found in her, she had a common denominator with Jesus, and a divine action and intervention was inevitable.

Friend, when Jesus can find in you what He has in Him, a divine encounter is inevitable. God is a holy/faithful God, and when He finds holiness/faithfulness in you, your divine encounter and divine intervention is a done deal. When God finds consecration, dedication, consistency, commitment, etc in you, it’s only a matter of time before He visits you as He has promised.

Increase your commonality with Jesus. Do what Jesus would do; forgive as Jesus forgave; pray as Jesus prayed; be sacrificial like Jesus; show love, mercy, kindness, humility, compassion, patience, temperance, contentment, etc like Jesus did; let the life of Christ be in you, and let His word dwell richly in you, and He will reach out to you mightily.

If it is not in Jesus, then it shouldn’t be in you. Let Jesus find Himself in you and your divine intervention will be inevitable.

Philippians 2: 5 says: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”

Prayer : Lord, let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me, in Jesus name !Amen

GET PERSONAL

“Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.”
(Matthew 15: 21)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, Jesus departed from a multitude and went to Tyre and Sidon, where He met a woman whose daughter was tormented by demons. Jesus often performed miracles in the midst of the crowd, but this woman didn't get hers in the midst of the crowd. She got it in a personal encounter with Jesus.

Friend, get personal in your walk with Jesus. Know Jesus for yourself. Spend time personally in communion with God. Go beyond the collective experience you have received from God and seek a more personal experience. Go beyond what others have told you about God and ask God for more personal encounters that will turn your life around. Go beyond what God told everyone and ask God to speak to you personally.

There is a new depth and dimension of God that you may never experience until you personalize your walk with Him. There are revelations that will only come to you in the course of a deeper walk with God. There are new levels, insights, creative and uncommon miracles, etc that will come to you when you draw near unto God on your own.

Seek God on your own; fast and pray on your own, and stop waiting for when a general, collective fast will be proclaimed. Go beyond collective gatherings and seek God personally in your private moments with Him. Deepen your personal commitment to Jesus. Ask God to increase your hunger and thirst for Him. Chase after God even if people around you are not chasing after Him. Ask God for more personal encounters.

Remember, the woman from Tyre and Sidon didn't locate Jesus in the crowd; she found Him on her own. The things you seek from God may not come to you from a collective anointing. There is a new depth you will find when you get personal with Jesus.

Prayer :Lord, draw me close to You, in Jesus’ name !Amen
