2013: THE YEAR OF THE FINGER OF GOD


Hi All,
So this word was shared  by Pastor Prince Obasi-Ike from the Redeemed Gospel Church, Solution Centre, Nairobi for 2013.
 
I will endevor to share snippets of focus words for this year. Without vision, people cast  of restrain. Be empowered.
G.S.
………….

 God said that this is the year of the finger of God.

The finger of God is not going to be limited to the area that we are, it will be a global phenomenon.

Four Things that the Finger of God stands for:

1.       The power of God:

The initial signs of Gods power had been imitated by Pharaohs magicians for the first three plagues, but it came to a point that God said enough is enough. He gave Moses a sign that was so potent that the magicians of Egypt said, this is but the ‘finger of God.”

 

 Even where people have exhibited their power, there comes a time that God shows that he has not relinquished his power. As we progress this year, you will be at liberty to say to God, “LORD let your finger be seen in this case in that case in this situation in that situation. And he will. There is no evil of years past that will follow you to 2013. Powers of darkness will not be able to stop the operational powers of the kingdom of God in 2013. Because it is the year of the finger of God.

 

2.       Justice and Judgment:

John 8:1-10. When the people brought the woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus to judge according to the law, Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote down on the dust, as if he did not hear them. He said to them,, “He that is without sin, let him cast the first stone at her,” then again he stooped down and wrote. And the people convicted in their own consciences, went away, beginning with the eldest. Then he said to her, woman, where are those thine accusers? Go and sin no more.

 

The finger of God stands for justice and judgment. In Exodus 31, we see that the 10 commandments were written by the finger of God. Jesus knowing that, he stooped down and wrote again in the dust. By one finger of God, he wrote not on stone again but on dust. Even when the woman was caught in the act, he wrote grace in their hearts. That finger demanded a different kind of law: one who has sin cannot judge another sinner, with that leaving us an example to be merciful to each other. He wrote that you ought to forgive when you have sin.

 

3.       Deliverance: When you say, LORD, let your finger manifest in this situation you ask for his deliverance. In Gen 4:16 Cain had done an abominable thing, and God spoke and judged but God stood and spoke for him and appointed a sign for him on his forehead that nobody would slay him. The LORD by his finger set a mark upon Cain. In  Luke 11: 20 Jesus says, “But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is upon you.”  Expect many deliverances in 2013.

 

 My prayer for you is that you thank God and do whatever God wants you to do and live upright. Jesus was casting out devils by the finger of God. In this year of the finger of God we will see all of that. Psalms 140:1 says “Blessed be the LORD my Rock who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.” This shows the significance of the finger. God fights with his finger and teaches his children to do the same.

 

4.       Direction:

 The finger of God points us to the direction that he wants us to go. God will give us direction to go where he wants us to focus. In the book of Exodus 13 “and he gave unto Moses the two tablets of stone graven by the finger of God. And on them were written according all the words the LORD had written all the words. The Scriptures are our constitution as the kingdom of God. God wrote this constitution to govern us as the citizens of the kingdom. It was written for our sakes to give us direction.

 

Keep to the word of God this 2013. Let the word of God govern your life this 2013 and you will see the manifestation of the Kingdom of God.
 
Shalom
