The theme for “Open Heaven Daily Devotional November 14 2022 is ”Touching God I”.
Here is today’s Open Heaven Daily Devotional November 14 2022 designed for your today’s spiritual refreshment. Kindly read today’s teaching by Pastor E.A Adeboye, meditate on the word of God and endeavor to act in accordance with them. As you start your day with God through his word, may he go before you to perfect all you have to do today.
SCRIPTURE: And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. – Matthew 8:3 (KJV)
Beloved, if God touches you, your life will never remain the same. The issue now is that God has millions of children; how are you sure that He will single you out and touch you in particular? Well, whether God touches you or you touch God, the result is the same. If a wire carrying electricity drops on a person or somebody mistakenly touches it, the result will be the same. Our God is a Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29). Whether He is the One who touches you or you touch Him, the result will be the same. In the Bible reading for today, the woman with the issue of blood just touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and the Lord said virtue had gone out of Him.
How do you touch God? You can touch Him by faith. In Matthew 8:5-13, the Bible tells us the story of a centurion who came to Jesus saying that he needed his servant to be healed. Jesus said He would come and heal him, but the centurion said He should just speak a word and he knew that his servant would be healed. The man’s faith touched Jesus. Jesus Christ said, “I have never seen this kind of faith before, no, not in Israel”.
Some time ago, I got a letter from someone who said, “I have a series of problems. I am not asking that you come and pray for me, I am not booking an appointment; I know that if you can just read my letter, I will get my miracles”. I read the letter and said to the Lord: “Almighty God, You have to honour this faith”. Two weeks later, I got another letter from the same fellow saying, “I know you read my letter because God has done it”.
How strong is your faith? Can it touch God? If your faith is not strong enough to touch the Lord, then you need to study and hear the word of God more often. Romans 10:17 says:
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Just keep consuming God’s word, whether it is through the Bible, books or sermons of genuine men and women of God and you will see your faith grow so much that it will touch God and the impossible will become possible in your life.
