Topic: 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;”
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.
