SCRIPTURE: This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. Jeremiah 15:5 (NLT).
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is nothing in the hand of a man of God outside of God.
Sometime ago, I was ministering in a Sunday service, making declarations on the altar: As I saw, I declared that: ‘There is an angel here with a curved oil vial anointing people.’ And a young girl confirmed that she was seeing exactly what I was declaring. She saw the angel with that curved oil vial anointing the people.
Now, amongst other things she said, the most amazing thing was that while I was laying hands on the people I called to stand on a queue, she saw Jesus touched them before my hand came on them, but she also said there were persons Jesus did not touch; He passed them and touched the next person to them on the queue.
At this point, I realized that the heart condition of people determines the touch they can receive from God. It is possible that the persons that Jesus bypassed were looking for a man to touch them so Jesus had to bypass them for the man to touch them. But Jesus touched the people who anticipated the touch of God before the hand of man could reach their heads.
Beloved, there is nothing in the hand of a man of God outside of God. He is just flesh and blood from dust. So, to look up to a man or believing more in a man than God makes continued frustration inevitable.
Remember this: There is nothing in the hand of a man of God outside of God.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Whenever you are in Church, look up to God for a touch, not the pastor.
2. Ask God for mercy if you consistently look up to man as source.
3. Make demands on the touch of God.
