Key Verse

  “And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs” (Mark 7:28).

Text — Mark 7:24-30

Message

Obstacles and negative situations could not deter the woman in our text today from obtaining what she wanted from the Lord. She believed that the “crumbs” that fell from the table were enough to meet her need. This Syrophenician woman did not give up on her demand from the Lord. Not letting go, Jesus acceded to her request. Her confession brought her the needed miracle.

“Impossible is the word found only in a fool’s dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible…” submitted Napoleon Bonaparte. With God all things are possible. When your situation seems negative, confess what God says in His Word. Situations around us may be bad but God can change them. Nigeria gained her Independence from the British Colonial masters on October 1st 1960. That is 64 years today! Looking at the national journey so far, not much has been achieved, both politically and economically. Hence, some citizens ask for a break up of the union, but others see possibilities in staying united. We must have faith in our national project. We can make it. Happy Independence Anniversary celebrations!
