FAITH CAPSULE: The touch of His hand is healing and His hand inhabits deliverance.
Exodus 3
In the hand of God there are all kinds of blessings such as: deliverance, healing, preservation and every good thing a man can desire for. The same hand of God that delivers blessing is not immune to delivering destruction where any course of action calls for destruction. Moses was accounting for how the Israelites took to their journey through to the Promised Land when he testifies about the hand of God that went against the Israelites, “For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed.” (Deuteronomy 2:15) Without doubt, man will experience the delivering or destructive hand of God by virtue of man’s choice to obey or disobey God. All the Israelites that despised the word of God were destroyed and could not see nor step on their Promised Land. The touch of His hand is healing and His hand inhabits deliverance. It was the hand of God that brought the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years and set them in journey to the Promised Land. It is written, “So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.” (Exodus 3:20) Are you conscious of the kind of hand of God which you are working for as you engage living life daily?
The same hand of God yesterday, today and tomorrow. God is consistent and He will not change in extending the kind of His hand that we desire by virtue of our walk in Him. Jesus the Lord of lords, the healing healer, most gracious and merciful was at no time recorded for walking away from extending healing hands when a need calls for it. The bible documents it in Luke 5:12-13, “And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, 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.”” Jesus’ hand will clean every stain of mockery if you will call for the extension of His healing hand. A man that was full of leprosy fell on his face to ask for his cleansing and he received his cleansing. Leprosy without any doubt is an agent of shame, embarrassment and mockery. Is there any way or anyhow you have been experiencing shame, mockery or any kind of disease or situation that is causing you from not being able to present yourself where you have a need? He is a prayer answering Father.
Prayer for today: Ask for the healing hand of God, the delivering hand of God and the hand of God that preserves to locate you in every area of life.
