Monday of the 14th Week: Reflection by Rev Fr Julian O Ekeh
Theme: WHEN JESUS COMES IN…
(Matthew 9:18–26)
Jesus continues the work of salvation. He preaches, He touches, He brings people back to life.
He came into the lives of two persons today in a very special way. The woman with the issue of haemorrhage for twelve years brought in Jesus to her life. She introduced Him to her problems. She opened her life and brought in Jesus.
Faith is the key that opens our relationship and encounter with Jesus. When Jesus entered, He spoke: “Take heart daughter, your faith has made you well”.
The entrance of Jesus into your life will make a lot of changes and make you well.
Next, Jesus entered the house of the ruler who knelt begging Him concerning his daughter. As He entered, He drove away flute players, and the crowd making a tumult.
Jesus comes to send away celebrants of your misfortune. He sends away those who mock you. He sends away spiritual distractions. He handles every situation that seem to be impossible with His wondrous hands. He brings in restoration and smiles. He puts smile again and changes the song of sorrow into songs of joy.
When God comes in, the story will never be the same again. Let Him in today and testify to His goodness in your life.
LET US PRAY
Come into our lives Oh Lord and take control. Heal us, bless us and sanctify us. Manifest your glory and change our story for good. Bless our families and all our endeavours through Christ our Lord. Amen
God bless your Monday (14th Week, Ordinary Time)
