SCRIPTURE READING: LUKE 8: 41-56
FOCUS: “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.” (Luke 8: 54)
MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” (Revelations 3: 20)
It is instructive to observe that before Jairus’ daughter was raised from the dead, Jesus had healed the woman with the issue of blood. Jairus specially requested that Jesus should come to his house. Jairus wanted the miracle coming his way to involve Jesus coming to his house. Notice that there were people in his house who needed to be driven away for his miracle to be birthed. Jesus needed to enter his house before his miracle came.
Friend, you may need to ask Jesus to come into your house. Jesus needs to come in and drive away those who are opposing the change that needs to happen in your life. Jesus needs to come in and change the atmosphere of your destiny. Jesus needs to come in and turn the situation of your life around. Jesus needs to come in and upstage the systems of hell that hold sway around you. Jesus needs to crumble the seat of Satan.
It may have been enough for some people to receive their miracles without having Jesus come into their home, but for Jairus, he needed Jesus to come in first, and give him his miracle. It’s not enough to desire miracles by the hand of God; let Jesus come inside your home first; allow Jesus to have space in your inner man as you seek to receive from Him; allow Jesus to be in you as you seek to receive from His hands.
Notice that when Jesus came into the house of Jairus, He did not only raise his daughter from the dead; He also sent away those who created an atmosphere of doubt around the miracle of Jairus. Jesus came in and did more than just a miracle. When Jesus comes in, He does more than just a miracle; He also helps you to become. When Jesus comes into your inner man, He creates a new man that eventually can receive the miracle He brings.
Don’t only seek to receive from the hand of God. Seek that Jesus will come into your house. Open the doors of your life and let Jesus come in already.
