“And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.” – Luke 6:19 (KJV)

There are many reasons why people went to seek Jesus Christ in His ministry on Earth. Some heard of Him and were curious to just see Him. Others went to Him because they had a need and wanted Jesus Christ to satisfy it. Still others saw Him as a Savior and wanted to be with Him (Matthew 16:16).

Dear beloved, what reason do you have for coming to Jesus Christ? The primary reason we need to come to Jesus Christ is salvation for our own souls. Other needs, such as healing, marriage, children, money, business, etc should be secondary. Salvation is very vital, and no one can save the soul of any human being except Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).

Those who were once Christians but have defected into other religions never had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. When the twelve apostles and Paul had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, they remained with Him.

Beloved, even if you are a Christian, seek to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Continually seek to have deeper intimacy with Him through His Word and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit so that even if your secondary needs are not met on time, you will not be offended and decide to depart from Him. Make up your mind to remain in Him forever. Then He will continually bless you, and you will become a blessing to many (John 15:5). Hallelujah! God bless you!

Prayer Point: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your undiluted Word. I have made up my mind to remain in Jesus Christ forever because I have come to know that He is truly the only Savior of my soul. Please lead me to have deeper intimacy with Him and serve Him forever. Amen!
