TALITHÁ KOÚMI – Part 1

MEMORIZE: While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" Mark 5:35.

SCRIPTURE READING:  Mark 5:21-24, 35.

EXPOSITION:

Ta - lē´tha kōō´mḗ (Talithá koúmi ): The word derived from the Aramaic which in the New Testament manuscripts is transliterated "damsel, arise". We have no data for determining how far Jesus employed the Aramaic language, but Mark ( Mark 5:41 ) notes its use in this tender incident, and there is strong probability that Aramaic was used normally, if not exclusively, by Christ. There is, however, no ground for attributing any magical significance to the use of the Aramaic words in connection with this miracle. Diseases and deaths came into the world by the sin and disobedience of the first Adam; but by the grace of the second Adam both are conquered. Christ,.i having healed an incurable disease, here goes on to triumph over death, as in the beginning of the chapter he had triumphed over an outrageous devil. 

The melancholy news is brought to Jairus, that his daughter is dead, and therefore, if Christ be as other physicians, he comes too late. While there is life, there is hope, and room for the use of means; but when life is gone, it is past recall; Why troublest thou the Master any further? Mark 5:35. Ordinarily, the proper thought in this case, is, "The matter is determined, the will of God is done, and I submit, I acquiesce; The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away. While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who can tell but God will yet be gracious to me, and the child shall live? But now that it is dead, wherefore should I weep? I shall go to it, but it shall not return to me." 2 Samuel 12:18-22. With such words we should quiet ourselves at such a time, that our souls may be as a child that is weaned from his mother: (Psalm 131:2). But here the case was extraordinary; the death of the child doth not, as usually, put an end to the narrative.  When all hope is gone, Jesus stepped in and brought the dead back to life. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will command your dead situation, health, marriage, career, dreams, etc, to receive life today.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, command every dead fortune and dream in me to receive life today in Jesus name.Note: Be specific in those areas where you need the visitation of the resurrection and life and name it to the Lord today.
