Touched and Changed - The Gospel of Jesus Christ



Genesis 32: 22

A lot of times we get touched by sermons, touched by worship, praise and motivation from friends and family, touched by elders’ advises. But how many times are we changed after being touched. Change is needed in our lives whenever we get touched. A touch must be there to change you not to make you comfortable.

A lot of people touched Jesus Christ while he was walking on earth in the flesh pressing him around wherever He would go. Because all they did was just to touch him, after He left, they were still the same, their situations were still the same because they never allowed Him to change them and their situations. A touch alone is not enough, expect a change after a touch.  
Many are touched but only few are changed

Jacob was a man who had told many lies, deceived his father and brother Esau. He lived a life of lies, fear going there and there trying to find peace, hiding and escaping from Esau before chapter 32. His father touched and blessed him and he was still the same deceiver. He married Laban’s daughters but that didn’t change him and his character he was still the same deceiver.

God told him to return to the same people he has been escaping from, same people he has wronged a lot, people he was afraid to meet. God knew that something had to be changed on the way before he could return home because He wouldn’t allow him to return the same way he has left.
He won’t allow you to go back the same way as you left, come as you are.

Jacob was left alone when he wrestled with God. Some things to be changed, you need to be alone. You can be touched at a church, crusade and conference but when God changes you nobody will be there, you need to be alone. Because when God changes you, things have to go, Old man’s ways have to go.

Most of the time we start experiencing change when we are alone.
Let Jesus Christ Touch and Change you Today

Believing in Jesus Christ - The Gospel of Jesus Christ

We believe by faith what we can see, feel, smell, touch and hear. We believe God by faith and everyone who received from God in the bible and in this generation is because they believed God. They believed in the Word of God. John 3:16 Those that believes in Him Jesus Christ, not Church, not Religion but Jesus Christ will Have an everlasting life. Pharisees believed in God the father but didn’t believe in Jesus Christ when He was among them in the Flesh, that’s why they couldn’t receive the everlasting life. Most of the time we hear God’s Word, fell his power, touch His presence, smell His aroma but still not believe in His Word. That’s why we have people giving thanks to ancestors because is what they believe. They don’t believe God can do it for me. When Mary the mother of Jesus Christ, asked servants at the wedding at Cana to follow Jesus’s instructions when the wine was finished. She wasn’t taking chances because she knew whom she has believed. Believe in Jesus...

What To Speak - The Gospel of Jesus Christ

When God is sending you or commanding you to say something to his people, he always tells you what to say. He gives you the scroll (His Word) like He would to the old testament prophets. He never sends you empty handed or without spoken Word. In Jeremiah 1: 7, He says “I have put my Words in your mouth”.  God has put the Word in your mouth, you have to let the Holy Spirit help you speak those Words with power. You can’t speak without the Holy Spirit helping you. In fact you can’t do anything without the Holy Spirit and I mean you can’t afford to do that without Him. The Holy spirit manifests the Word of God in us (John 16: 12-15) The Holy Spirit guides us and leads us. He declares God’s Word in us, through us to the whole world. Is not about us being seen but is about the Word of God being declared to the whole world. Jesus said, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it. Now when you hear the Word of God believe it and speak it. Because if you speak the Wo...

Touched and Changed: What is Your Name?

After Jacob had wrestled with God, he said he won’t let Him until He blesses him. When God asked him a question, He doesn’t ask how much he wants, or about the blessings. Jacob has been blessed before and that’s what he is expecting because all his life he has learned to depend on blessings. But God says “What is Your name?” God says I know you have a lot going on, you give your tithe to the church, you come early to church, you clean the church, you sing on the worship, you are playing the band; but what is your name. Your name is what it is important at this moment. People defines us by what we have and possess, they define us by our situations, they will call you millionaire if you are rich. But God is not asking what people are saying who you are but what is your name? He changed Jacob’ name which means deceiver to Israel. This is where Israel was born, out of a man who was deceiver. When your name has changed you don’t need to go everywhere asking everyone what they think...
