Bible Lesson 2: Jesus Lord of everything 
Notes
Ida went to Maliga and at taught about “Jesus Lord of everything “ She asked the community what they fear most. They said that they fear many things but death, sickness and evil spirits are the most things they fear. Ida asked Fida to read from Luke 8:22-56. After the reading, some community members reacted on it. Beatrace said that she used to fear evil spirits but now she knows that they too fear Jesus! Abenakyo said that her husband when he was drunk, he could pretend to be demon possessed but one day she said to herself “ I must be brave and burn the demon “ When the husband came , started his tricks, asking for bear, chicken and money, Abenakyo brought fire scaring to burn the demon but the husband screamed and ran out calling for people to help him from the woman whom he said was running crazy. It was a wonderful discussion that made the community see the power of Jesus. When it reached on the woman who bled for 12 years, Saida said it’s true Jesus is Lord of sickness. She continued saying that that woman lost everything, husband, marriage, friends and maybe relatives. But when Jesus came in, the bleeding stopped immediately. Friends came back and probably her husband came back too. Ida concluded by saying that she doesn’t know weather her husband came back because the Bible doesn’t tell us that but she believes that all is possible with God. If Jesus healed that woman who suffered 12 years, drove demons from a man and raised Lazarus from the grave, He went an extra mile and rose from the tomb, what can’t he do for us who trust Him!? Let’s put our trust in Jesus. Fida closed the meeting with a song that says Jesus never fails.
