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
