THE TOUCH OF THE LORD
DAILY DEVOTION
TEXT: Psalm 144:5
Bow thy heavens, o lord and come down: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.
DEFINITION
To touch means to bring a part of the body (especially the hand) in contact with something. It can also mean to apply a slight or gentle force to something.
CONTEXT
David wrote this psalm. It is a song to the Lord who preserves and prospers His servant. David pleaded out of an intimate knowledge of what God can do. He asked that God should touch the mountains, and they would smoke. In other words, they would burn away.
Note the verse 1 of the psalm says that God is He who teaches us how to fight battle. Verse 5 under consideration introduces us to one of God’s unique ways dealing with mountains. He touches them, and they burn to ashes.
RELEVANCE
The following situations can be confronted with the touch of the Lord, amongst others.
1. When unexplainable obstacles block your progress. If you try, and it appears obvious that the opposition is stronger that what you lone can cope with, ask for the touch of the Lord upon that mountain. It shall surely be consumed.
2. When a family is faced with mountains of barrenness, sickness, or poverty. In other words, when there appears to be the manifestation of vertical or horizontal family curses in a family (see my book, Vertical and Horizontal Family Curses for details), the touch of the Lord is useful to consume that ancient mountain of affliction.
3. The touch of the Lord is also a useful tool for ministering healing to the sick.
PRAYER POINTS

2. Every obstacle blocking my progress, I remove with the touch of God in Jesus’ name.

4. You evil manipulator in my life, be destroyed by the touch of God in Jesus’ name.
5. Every strange eye viewing my progress, I pluck you out by the finger of the Lard in Jesus’ name.
6. By the touch of the Lord. I destroy the effect and purpose of the spirit of impossibility in the name of Jesus.
7. Every household wickedness tormenting my life, I come against with the touch of the Lord in Jesus’ name.
8. O Lord! By you touch; I enter into my breakthrough in Jesus’ name.
9. By the touch of the Lord, I confront unfriendly friends in Jesus’ name.

Text: Matthew 14:16-21 –
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
The scripture illustrates how God can use difficult situations to provide our needs, it was just 5 loaves of bread and two fishes that was available comparing to the crowd (five thousand). Feeding five thousand people’s with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes? Humanly, this is absolutely impossible but with God it is possible.
Note vs 17 “We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.”
In reality, this reply from Jesus disciples sounds like a doubt, this i can say that it was a test of faith.
It doesn’t matter the situation surrounding you what matter at this time is your faith and how you apply it.
PRAYER
Lord, I thank You for provision. Despite the lack that we have, yet, you miraculously provide for us and be satisfied. We pray for more provision and open doors in Jesus name we pray. Amen
