The Invicible Hand

The Invincible Hand
What comes to your mind by this statement? Hand is an integral part of the body. As a matter of fact, God created every part of the body to perform a specific function. We may probably say that anyone that lost his hand/arm is exposed to the verdict of shame/reproach.
My encounter with some ministers of the gospel like Pastor Nicholas Vijusk proved to you and I that people that were not born without arm can still do exploit. He is a minister of the gospel without arm, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to over 50,000 congregation in one attendance. Practically all he does is with his legs. Yet, he sounded so optimistic to hope for a day he would stand by his wife to be joined together in holy matrimony. John Foppe is another man born without arm, a great motivational speaker, who believes no challenge in life could keep his head below waters.The Hand we are talking about here is not only invincible but also invisible but its manifestations are visible and impactful.
The Hand of God.Yes, the Hand of God. The Bible tells us that God has Hands, Eyes, Arm, Legs etc.

Genesis chapter 1 vs. 26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Meaning, you are carrying the image of the Creator of heaven and earth. In the subsequent verse, it is confirmed that man was created in His Likeness.

So do Angels have hands.
Psalm 91 vs.12 “They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot again a stone.”

What can this Hand do?

From the time immemorial man has been battling with one challenge or another which may be inflicted, inherited, self protracted or God’s permitted.
The good news is irrespective of the source of the problem or challenge, His Hand is abundantly ABLE.

Isaiah 59 vs.1 “Behold, the LORD’s Hand is not shortened, that it can not save; neither his ear heavy, that it can not hear.”

The Hand saves: The Bible says Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace because of their belief (Christian faith).King Nebuchadnezzar felt they would have died, but the Hand turned the hotness of fire to coldness of time. What a wonderful Hand!
Delivers: At a point in the life of Moses and the Israelites, they were faced with their down to earth enemy who was ready to give it what it takes to enslave them till they die. But this Hand would not agree. It will deliver you today.
Looses: Because of their passion for the kingdom, Paul & Silas were incarcerated, they prayed & sang praises and the Hand intervened and loosen the chains off their hands and legs. So shall you be loosened today.
Equips: For you to conquer the battle of life, you need the Hand to rest upon your life. The warrior of Philistine of Gath (Goliath) for consecutive 40 days roared and challenged Israelites, both the young and old of Israelites could not step out. But the Hand equipped young David, he fought Golliat, won him and even cut off his head.Today, you must surely win the battle of your life
Provides: there was famine in the land of Israel, but the Hand never left Prophet Elijah to hunger and thirsty. He feed on heavenly baked bread and drank water from the brook.
Destroys: When company of people conspired against Moses, the hand caused the earth to open up and swallow them and their families.
Restores: The Hand touched the Zarephath woman’s son and his life was restored.You will be restored.
Promotes: The Hand pushed Mordecai from gate to palace. Meaning, you are due for divine push, you shall be promoted this month.
Gives life: Jesus said “I have come to give you life, life more abundantly.

The hand is now set to step into the situation of your life and turn it around for miracles, breakthoroughs, deliverance, promotion and good virtues of life.
