DCLM Higher Everyday 15 June 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Trust Him For That Touch

Topic: Trust Him For That Touch

Text: Luke 13:10-17

10And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

17And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Memory Verse: “And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God” (Luke 13:13).

Message

Social engineers have pointed out the power of touch in human relationships. They describe it as one of the most effective means of social connection, but they fail to understand why it is so. Recent advances in science have now revealed that when you touch something you leave your DNA on it. The DNA is the hereditary material inherited from your parents; it is what makes you who you are. When Jesus touched that woman therefore, He left a part of Himself on her. Does anyone still wonder why she was made instantly whole?

Christ’s touch on your spirit straightens you up from the crookedness inherited from Adam’s disobedience. His touch on your mind removes the confusion and afflictions of your troubled existence. And, as with the woman, Christ’s touch on your body is all you require for healing and health. You must however believe He has both the power and the willingness to perform it. Faith is the unfailing arm that lays hold upon God’s possibilities, therefore have faith in God. On this World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, may God bless the old people.

QUOTE: Christ’s touch on your spirit straightens you up.

PRAYER: Holy Father, touch and make me whole, in Jesus’ name.

CHALLENGE: Dare to believe in a faithful God.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
