THERE IS POWER IN YOUR HANDS

Memorise:
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. .. Mark 16:18

Read:
Mark 1:40-45

Message

In today's Bible reading, a leper came to Jesus, saying, "I know that if You want to, You can make me clean." In those days, leprosy was deemed incurable; however, when the man encountered Jesus, he was immediately cleansed. In Acts 3:1-11, Peter and John saw a man who had been born lame, and Peter said to him, "...In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." When the lame man didn't rise to his feet, Peter took him by his right hand and lifted him up. Immediately, the power of God flowed through Peter's hands into the lame man's bones, and he jumped up.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." John 14:12

In the Scripture above, Jesus said that anyone who believes in Him will do greater works than the ones He did while He was on earth. If you are a child of God, you must know that your heavenly Father has anointed you with His power. This means that your hands are not ordinary — they have become God's channel of healing, deliverance, and restoration. Jesus Christ has paid the price for pains and sicknesses, and that is why He said in Mark 16:17-18: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." This means that if you are a true child of God and you lay hands on the sick, they will recover. When you lay your hands upon them, God's power will flow through your hands to heal them. I decree that from now on, when you touch the sick, they will be healed.

I usually tell Christians who are doctors, "Before you administer medications to your patients, obtain their permission to lay hands on them, then pray for them." I also tell them, "You will encounter situations where there will be nothing more you can do for your patients medically. At those times, hand their cases over to the One who said, 'I am the Lord that healeth thee.'"

Beloved, if you are a child of God, your hands are powerful because they have been anointed by God. Therefore, exercise your faith in Him by laying hands on the sick for their healing, and you will begin to see special miracles happen through you.

RCCG Hymn

I want to be like Jesus

  1. I want to be like Jesus,
    So lowly and so meek;
    For no one mark'd an angry word.
    That ever heard Him speak,
  2. I want to be like Jesus,
    So frequently in prayer;
    Alone upon the mountain top.
    He met his Father there.
    3, I want to be like Jesus,
    I never, never find
    That He, though persecuted was
    To any one unkind.
    4, I want to be like Jesus,,
    Engaged in doing good; ' ' '
    So that of me it may be said
    "He hath done what he could."
  3. I want to be like Jesus,
    Who sweetly said to all,
    "Let little children come to Me;"
    I would obey the call.
  4. But oh I'm not like Jesus,
    As any one may see;
    O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
    And make me like to Thee.
