Do
you remember the story of King Midas and his golden touch? He made a wish that
everything he touched would turn into gold, and his wish came to pass. He
touched his food, the trees in his garden and his palace, and they all turned
into gold! Then, he hugged his daughter whom he loved very much and she
immediately turned into a gold statue!
God’s
way is better and it has no side effects. He wants to bless everything you
touch. The Bible says, “The Lord will command the blessing on you…and in all to
which you set your hand.” This means that whatever you touch, whatever you set
your hands to, God will command the blessing upon it, be it a person, thing or
business. So if you touch your child, he is blessed. If you touch your guitar,
anointed music flows forth. If you touch your business, it prospers. When you
touch a sick person, he gets healed. When you touch someone who is facing lack,
his needs are met.
In
the Bible, everything that Jesus touched prospered. He touched the eyes of two
blind men and their eyes were opened (see Matthew 9:28–30). He touched the open
coffin of a widow’s son, and the young man sat up and began to speak (see Luke
7:12–15). He touched the leper and the leprosy departed (see Mark 1:40–42).
Under the old covenant laws, no one was supposed to touch a leper as lepers
were considered unclean. If you touched the unclean, you became unclean. But
Jesus touched the leper and the unclean became clean!
Everyone whom Jesus touched received a blessing. And because Jesus lives in you by His Spirit, what you touch will be blessed too. He paid the price for you to have this blessing. His loving hands which imparted blessings to so many were nailed to the cross so that today, God can command His blessing on all to which you set your hands!
