The Wonders of Divine Contact (Part 2)
Isaiah 41:10-13
The first contact activates destiny, the second contact leads to promotion, the third contact leads to perfection.
The Second Contact.
Everybody knows that God is the promoter.
1 Samuel 2:8
We also know that our God is perfect
James 1:17
Mark 7:32-37
What happens when there is a second contact between God and a person?
1. JOSHUA
Joshua had the first contact when God said to Moses lay your hands on him. The second contact came when Moses died in Joshua 1:1-8. God transferred a messenger of Moses to the position of Head of State.
He was so frightened and God had to repeat three times.
2. DAVID
David had a first encounter with God when God poured oil on his head through Samuel. He became king amongst his brethren.
David had a second contact with God in 2 Samuel 2:4. This time he was anointed again as King of Judah. He moved from king amongst his brethren to King of Judah.
3. Elisha
Elisha had his first encounter with God on the field, a mantle fell on him.
In 2 Kings 2:9-15, the mantle came and was picked up by Elisha and nobody to challenge him. Suddenly one of the sons of the Prophet became a Prophet.
4. PETER
Peter’s first contact came in Luke 5:1-11. From a fisher man, he was going to be a fisher of men. Then he had a second contact in John 21:1-17. Jesus told him, you won’t be just a fisher of men, but you will be feeding my flocks.
Who needs a Second Touch?
We all know there are advantages in being on top and disadvantages in being beneath. We all know that if there is power failure, it is not in Aso Rock. Scarcity of water is not in government house.
I am praying for all of you listening to me today, your promotion begins right now.
But there is much more.
In 2 Samuel 24:1-5, the Bible tells us that David conducted a census against the wish of God. God got angry and told him to choose the kind of punishment he wanted and a terrible pestilence broke out. It will interest you to know that 70,000 people died but none in the palace died. It pays to be on top.
It is not a pleasant thing to be at the bottom that is why the Almighty God said you shall be the head and not the tail.
Exodus 4:1-4
I pray for everyone of you listening to me today, you shall be head and not the tail.
We all need a second touch to be promoted. The good news is there is always room at the top.
Daniel 6:1-3
The Almighty God can make you the best among the best. If the Almighty God is looking for the best, may you be the one He chooses.
You need a second touch for promotion.
What about the Third Touch?
That is for perfection. Perfection is a wonderful thing.
Mark 3:1-5
When God heals, He heals completely, perfectly.
Mark 8:22-25
Jesus took the blind man, first contact. Spat on his eyes and he said he could see men like trees, second contact. He touched him again and he said he could see perfectly, third contact.
I pray for everyone of you listening to me in any form of ailment, may your healing come today and may it come perfectly.
2 Kings 5:1-14, the Almighty God healed Naaman. He came out with his skin like that of a new born baby.
Exodus 14:1-28 (the Israelites at the Red Sea) their deliverance was not complete until all those responsible drowned.
Mark 5:2-19 (the man of Gadara) the man was completely free when all the demons tormenting him drowned.
I pray for everyone of you listening to me today, if there are any evil forces still showing interest in you, today will be their day of total destruction.
Perfection is essential, that is why you need the Third Touch.
1. MOSES
His first contact came in Exodus 3:1-16, when he saw the Burning Bush. The second contact in Exodus 19:1-9 was in a thick cloud. In Exodus 33:10-11 the people saw the cloud. The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, that is promotion.
Moses did not stop there, Moses cried to God in Exodus 33:18-23 to see Him. He saw the Glory of God and in Exodus 34:29-35 and from that day forward, his face shone like the sun.
Deuteronomy 34:7
Surely you need a second touch for promotion and a third touch for perfection.
2. ELISHA
He had his first contact in 1 Kings 19:19-21. His second contact was in 2 Kings 2:9-15. His third contact was in 2 Kings 3:10-15, some kings came to him for direction. One of the Kings was an idol worshipper and he got angry. When he sobered down, he called for a minstrel to sing praises to God before the Holy Spirit came back and he had a third contact and from that moment onward, he became perfect.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, when children mocked him after receiving double portion of the Spirit of Elijah, his temper rose and he cursed the children in the Name of the Lord. After the third contact, he didn’t do that kind of thing again.
2 Kings 6:8-23; he arrested the army sent to arrest him and fed them.
3. PETER
The first contact came when he was fishing in Luke 5:1-11. The second contact came in John 21:1-17 when he was promoted from fisher of men to the leader of the flock. He had his third contact in Acts 2:1-41.
Can l attain perfection?
Psalm 138:8
Perfection is meant for you, all you need to do is ask, John 16:12.
Those who have not gotten any contact with God, you can today. Say Lord transform me today, let me have a new beginning. Wherever you are, bow your heads in prayers and ask Him to save your soul, promise Him that from now on, you will serve Him for the rest of your life.
Father, grant our request, promote us and bring us to perfection.
Ask the Lord for a Second Contact for Promotion, a Third Contact for Perfection.
God bless you!
