YOU NEED THE DIVINE TOUCH
Memorise: For she said within herself,
if I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. Matthew 9:21
Read: Matthew 9:20-22, Bible in one
year: 1st Samuel 21:10-23:29, Mark 8:22-9:1
The entrance of sin into this world
destroyed so many things about humility. It provoked God to pronounce a curse
on the ground and banish mankind to a life of sorrow and pain in Genesis
3:16-17:
“Unto
the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in
sorrow thou shalt being forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded
thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in
sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
The unifying theme of God’s
pronouncements on Adam and Eve was sorrow. From that moment onwards, sorrow has
been a heritage of humanity. But praise God, because whatever the Almighty God
touches is bound to be good, irrespective of its initial condition. This is why
every man born of a woman needs the divine touch of God. Only the regeneration
of a man’s spirit through God’s divine touch can put an end to his heritage of
sorrow.
In today’s Bible reading, we see a woman
in whom the heritage of sorrow manifested as an issue of blood for twelve
years! In Luke 8:43, the Bible says she had spent all she had in seeking
healing from physicians to no avail. At this point in her life, only a divine
touch could put an end to her years of agony and sorrow. Then one day, she came
across the Great physician, Jesus Christ. Her faith was so strong; she believed
in her heart that all she needed from Him was a passive divine touch. She
believed that based on the power in the divine touch, she did not need an active
touch for her to be made whole. This singular act of faith was commended by
Jesus Himself. I pray for someone using this devotional that your day of
deliverance is here in Jesus’ Name. The Almighty God will touch and perfect
everything concerning you in
Jesus’ Name.
It is most unfortunate that the divine
touch of God is going around the world today through the power of the gospel of
the Lord Jesus Christ, but it is being rejected in many quarters. No wonder
Jesus wept and lamented in Luke 19:41-42. The woman with the issue of blood
recognised the person of Jesus. She knew her contact with His divinity would
solve her problem, and so it was. Once, again may the Lord touch you today as you yield to Him
in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point:
Father, Please touch me with your mighty
power of deliverance today in Jesus Name.
