HAVE FAITH

Monday of the Fourth Sunday of Lent Year C John 4:43-54 Today’s Gospel is reminding us that our God is a gracious God. Even in hopeless and desperate situations He grants our requests. Jesus does not discriminates anyone who pleads for help. Three points that I would like to share with you today. First, Jesus is reminding us that once you are in the ministry of spreading the goodnews, you can't expect your closest family, friends, or countrymen to appreciate you. “Prophet has no honour in the prophet’s own country.” Don’t get frustrated because some people may welcome you. Friends, if the door is close for you dont worry because some windows are wider than doors. Second, the story of the healing of the official’s son reminds us that faith in Jesus will turn our sorrow to joy. Faith in Jesus transforms our desperation to hope. Friends believe in miracles. You may experiencing struggles, frustrations, crisis and hopeless situations but faith in Jesus will makes all things well. Just believe! Miracles always happen when you believe. Third, dont underestimate the power of intercession. Today, there so many people that put their trust in our prayers. Dont hesitate to waste your time to pray for their needs. When people ask you to pray for them, do it because they believed that you are an angel sent by God to bring their petitions and request to God. Everyone of us gets through the thougher times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to fix it for us. Intercession is a way of loving others. Friends, thanks for all your prayers.
