Luke 5:12-26
Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
Luke 5:13

Right from the start, we can see that Jesus’ ministry was centered around healing, teaching and preaching. Within
His ministry, we see how He engaged demons and delivered the captives of the mighty from the enemy’s hands. His teachings span several topics. They include prayer and fasting, money, and relationship management.

The Bible says, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him” (Acts 10:38). The healing of the leper was just one of them.

The Bible says, “A man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him” (Luke 5:12-13).

Jesus deployed several management principles. He demonstrated crisis management, resources management and
economy of scale. The Bible reveals how He handled temptation and stage management. Jesus recognized that He
was in a war and handled life as such. He spoke about the end time, death and new life. See Mark 14 and Matthew 24.

As we study his life, may we find strength and courage to keep His ministry going. Shalom.
