FOLLOWING PATIENTLY

Good morning lovely people!!! This post is more of a lesson I picked from some stories in the book of Matthew. Especially chapters 14, 15 and 19 where we have the stories of the crowd following Jesus from one town or place to another. There are diverse lessons that can be learnt from these passages or different meanings to them but I picked a very important lesson and would like to share it with us. We could read these chapters on our own.

When Jesus moved from place to place, a large crowd always followed Him, comprising of those believing for a miracle, those that just wanted to hear Him speak and I am sure those who wanted to lay their hands on something to use against Him or gossip about were there too. At the end of it all, Jesus always had compassion on these people and healed their sicknesses, gave solutions to problems and also He fed them.

If you have problems you want solved, sicknesses to be healed, whatever it is you want from Him; all you need to do is follow Jesus faithfully and patiently. Yes, they followed Him physically at that time because He was with them on earth but that has not changed. He is not physically present but He is ever-present, He abides in us. He did not leave us completely, he sent us the Holyspirit who is here and will be here till the end of the world. The people walked long distances with Him on foot but at the end, He looked at them with compassion and solved their problems as long as they believed.

The people kept following Him because they knew He had the key and solution, they believed they would get what they believed for and even more; all they had to do was follow Him wherever He went. He has the key and solution to your problems, just believe and follow.

You must not have a problem to keep following Him, the people did not expect to be fed but they were. I am sure not all of them had an illness to be cured of or expecting a miracle but they were fed both physically and spiritually to the nourishment of body and soul.

You cannot walk with or follow Him, you cannot stay with Him whole-heartedly without grumbling and He would leave you with your problems or let you go empty-handed. He is a COMPASSIONATE GOD. At the right time, if you are still there, if you are still following Him, if you are still hanging around; He will attend to your needs.

Do not give up dear. The fact you have not gotten that you want is not because He is not hearing you or because He does not want to answer you; He could be testing your faith, to know how long you would hold on. Just keep following Him and at His appointed time, you will get it.

Remain blessed and I love you.
