```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: Weep Not! Part 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Luke  7:12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
 7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.


When you begin to analyze the content of scriptures concerning the operations of Jesus and when you begin to critically view the responses He gave per time or His responses in the face of very critical challenges, you may either be mad or wonder orw glad at some of His responses.

For instance, according to our text, Jesus was coming into the city and saw a woman who was weeping profusely due to the death of his only son and after Jesus had demonstrated compassion he asked the woman not to cry.

If you look at the case of the dead child in Mark chapter 5 from verse 36 to 43, after Jesus heard what happened, what He said was "fear not, only believe". Another instance was when His disciples were in the midst of a very terrible storm, His response was "why are you so afraid? O ye of little faith".

When you begin to look at these few instances, you cannot but conclude that apart from Jesus having all the power to deal with all issues of life, He was a strange man with strange believes and dealings.

There was nothing normal in telling a woman who just lost his beloved son "weep not" nor is anything normal about telling people who are going through a very terrible storm "fear not".

One major lesson from these instances is that no matter how terrible, unchangeable or seemingly unbendable your own case may be or look like, you have no reason to cry, worry or be afraid.

*Insights For Today: Irrespective of what happens to you, be strong in faith giving glory to God seeing that there is absolutely nothing God cannot do.*

*_Prayer point: Ask God for a fresh impactation of the Spirit of faith. Keep walking by faith_*
