THE
WAY OUT
Memorise:
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye
have received, freely give. Matthew 10:8
Read:
Matthew 10:5-8, 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth,
and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any
city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

MESSAGE
Our Lord Jesus Christ has many names and
titles. The purpose of these names is to enlighten the eyes of our
understanding to the reality of His person. One of such names is The Way. In John 14:6, the Lord Jesus revealed this truth about
Himself to us:
“Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me.”
What does the Lord mean when He says He is
the Way? If you need to get to a location and you are at a loss on how to get
there, the wise thing to do is to ask people at your current location the way
out of where you are in order to get to where you wish to go. The Lord Jesus
Christ is the Way out of the unpleasant situation you are in presently. He is
also the Way into the new location of your choice. The Bible reveals Jesus as
the Way out of sickness (1st Peter 2:24).
In Acts 9:32-35, Peter visited some believers
living in Lydda and met Aeneas who had been bedridden for eight years. He
simply introduced him to Jesus Christ, and Aeneas followed the Name of Jesus
out of sickness into divine healing and health.
The Name of Jesus is also the Way out of
death (Acts 9:40-41). Our Bible reading shows
that the sick, the lepers and the dead can follow the pathway of Jesus out of
their circumstances. Anyone who has an appointment with death can be delivered
by the following the Name of Jesus, because Jesus is the way out of any
situation having to do with death. Some 276 sailors, soldiers and prisoners
were lost at sea for fourteen days and faced sure death in the hands of a
violent hurricane called Euroclydon (Act 27:12-44).
For fourteen days, their souls were overwhelmed with the fear of death and they
could not eat anything. They all would have died but for the presence of Paul
who bore the Name of Jesus amongst them. The Lord sent His angel of Paul to
show them the way of escape from the clutches of death. The Lord showed them
that their salvation depended on them remaining in their sinking ship which was
at the mercy of the winds (Acts 27:31)! The
pathway that goes through Jesus led them through the valley of the shadow of
death, and not one soul among them was lost (Act 27:44).
Do you have an early appointment with death that agents of darkness have fixed
for you? In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ,
that appointment with death is cancelled! Has sickness drawn you so close to
death? In the Name of Jesus, you shall not die but live! You shall recover in
Jesus’ Name.
Prayer
Point
Father,
quieten every storm that wants to deliver death to my life, family, business or
ministry now, in Jesus’ Name.
