As day break, Jesus comot go one place wey people no dey. The crowd go look for am, and when dem reach where E dey, dem try stop am make E no leave dem. Luke 4:42
Na fine way to show care and love for Jesus! Here, Jesus dey with the crowd as sun dey set, and E spend the whole night with the people, dey heal dem and preach to dem. Maybe all of dem sleep small at one point, but e fit be say Jesus stay awake with dem all through the night.
For this passage above, Jesus comot go stay alone as day dey break and sun just dey rise. E go pray and just spend time with Im Father for Heaven. Wetin come happen? Even though Jesus don give the people all Im time the evening and night before, dem still want spend more time with am. E only comot for small time to pray, and dem begin look for am at once. When dem find Jesus, dem beg am make E stay longer.
Even though Jesus need to continue Im journey and preach for other towns, e clear say E touch these people well well. Wetin E do touch their hearts deep, and dem want make Jesus stay.
The good news be say Jesus fit now stay with us 24/7. That time, E never ascend go Heaven, so E fit only dey one place at a time. But now wey E dey Heaven, Jesus fit dey live for every place at every time.
So wetin we see for this passage above na the desire wey all of us suppose get. We suppose desire make Jesus remain with us 24/7, just as these good people desire am. We suppose sleep with am for our mind, wake up dey pray to am, and allow am follow us all through each day. We suppose help the same love and care wey the people get for Jesus for this passage above grow for our hearts. To help that desire grow na the first step to allow Im presence follow us all day, every day.
Today, think well about whether you get the desire to dey with Jesus every time or you no get am. Some times dey wey you go prefer make E no dey there? Or you don allow this same care for Jesus grow for your heart, as you dey always seek Im presence for your life?
My Lord wey dey with me always, I want make You dey for my life all through every day. Make I always seek You and always pay attention to Your presence for my life. Jesus, na You I trust.
