Topic: The Touch Of Faith [Monday 23, October 2017]
Memorise: “Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.” – Matthew 9:29
Read: Matthew 9:20-22
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Bible In One Year: Luke 3-4. Hymn: Sing Hymn 7 – Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty
MESSAGE:
There is tremendous power in a touch. It may be positive or negative as there are categories and types of touches. A touch can bring death as in the case of Uzzah in the book of 2 Samuel 6:6-7. During one of our Conventions at the Redemption Camp in Nigeria, the Lord asked me to lay out a piece of cloth for people to touch by faith and receive their healing, with a warning that it should simply be touched and not held. A man went ahead and grab the cloth. It took special grace and forgiveness of God for him not to die the moment he touched outside of faith; his entire body began to shake uncontrollably from morning till evening. It would have been a touch of death but for God’s intervention.
Another touch can bring healing as in the case of the woman with the issue of blood in our Bible reading for today. This is the touch of faith. I pray for someone using this devotional; the Lord will touch you for healing and deliverance today, and you will have a testimony in Jesus’ Name. I also pray that whatever you touch by faith today will prosper in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point: Father, please touch me in the areas where I need Your intervention today and let my joy be full in Jesus’ Name.
