2014 Convention..Day 3 (Thursday 24 April)
Speaker: Pastor John Nwachukwu
We have TWO key phrases:
Demonstrating
The Mighty Hand Of God
Demonstrating
(1 Corinthians 2:4, 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6, Acts 2:3, 1 Thessalonians 2:13)
Showing definitely – God wants to definitely show us his mighty hand
- To make Evident – He wants to make his hand evident
- To Prove – He wants to gives us proof
- To Show, or Manifest – He wants to manifest his presence
When God wants to demonstrate his mighty hand he places it on men. Every time the mighty hand of God touches a man a positive mark is left for life.
Just one touch of his mighty hand will change your life forever (Isaiah 6:7, Jeremiah 1:9).
There is no sickness God cannot cheaply heal by just one touch (Matthew 8:15, Matthew 9:28-29, Mark 7:33-35, Luke 22:50-51).
God wants us to continue the healing touch ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 9:17, Mark 16:16-20)
The mighty hand of God delivers wonders with every touch. There is nothing beyond the reach of the Mighty Hand of God, including the;
- Hearts of men
- Hearts of kings – Nehemiah 2:8, Nehemiah 2:17-18
- Hidden challenges – Psalm 21:8
- There is no situation the mighty hand of God cannot arrest -Psalm 138:7
- There is no mountain the mighty hand of God cannot level -Isaiah 41:10-16
- The mighty hand of God can bring solution to every problem of life Jeremiah 32:21
CLOSER LOOK AT THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD
The mighty hand of God is the highest sense of power in the universe- 2 Chronicles 20:6
The hand of God opens the door for the era of signs and wonders-Psalm 118:15-16
The hand of God is the dispenser of the abundance of heaven- Psalm 95:4, 7; Psalm 104: 23 – 29; Psalm 12:2
THE ANATOMY OF THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD
The Finger of God: Exodus 8:19 “the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the Lord had said“. It is reserved for casting out demons. See also Exodus 13:18, Deuteronomy 9:10, Luke 11:20
The Arm of God: Exodus 15:16 “terror and dread will fall on them.By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone— until your people pass by, Lord, until the people you bought pass by.“
The Mighty Hand of God: Deuteronomy 4:34 “Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?“. See also Deuteronomy 5:15
Keys to Demonstrating The Hand Of God
- Believe – James 1:5-7
- Pray
Conclusion: The hand of God upon a man conveys God’s help, approval, comfort and power. God’s hand is the healing hand of Jesus- still healing, comforting, and delivering now as then. Friends we are in for a great experience.
It is time to experience the touch of His Mighty Hand.
