Topic: Looking Up To God [Seeds of Destiny 23 November 2018 Devotional]
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 17:5 (NLT).
Thought For The Day: There is nothing in the hand of a man of God outside of God.
Sometime ago, as I was ministering on a Sunday service and making declarations on the altar, a young girl confirmed that she was seeing exactly what I was declaring. The declaration I made was: there is an angel here with a curved vial of oil anointing people. She saw the angel with that curved vial of oil 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 touch them before my hand came on them. However, she said that there were persons Jesus did not touch; He passed them and touched the next person on the queue.
At this point, I realized that the heart condition of people determines what 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. The man of God is just flesh and blood from dust. So, to look up to a man or believe more in a man than in God makes frustration to continue.
Remember this: There is nothing in the hand of a man of God outside of God.
Assignments:
1. Whenever you are in Church, look up to God for a touch, not the pastor.
2. Ask God for mercy if you have ever depended on man for anything.
3. Make demands on the touch of God.
