The main sermon on “The Second Touch”, drawing from:
- Mark 8:22–26 (the blind man healed in two stages)
- Peter’s restoration in John 21
- Acts 4 (second Holy Ghost visitation)
- Job 14 (hope for a tree)
Their message emphasizes restoration, destiny fulfillment, clearer vision, and divine empowerment.
THEMES
1. The Second Touch
The central theme: God often begins a work with a first touch, but perfection, clarity, and destiny fulfillment come with the second touch.
“Jesus touched him again, and he saw clearly.”
2. Divine Encounter
The service repeatedly calls the congregation to encounter Jesus personally, like the woman with the issue of blood.
3. Help, Preservation & Mercy (Isaiah 49)
God promises:
- “I will help thee.”
- “I will preserve thee.”
- “I will not forget thee.”
These become prayer pillars throughout the service.
4. Restoration of Lost Opportunities
Using Job 14 and David at Ziklag, the ministers declare that lost glory, missed opportunities, and stolen blessings will be restored.
5. Clear Vision & Direction
The second touch brings clarity:
- No more confusion
- No more wrong turns
- No more wasted labor
- No more blindness (spiritual or situational)
6. Destiny Fulfillment
David’s anointing, Peter’s restoration, and the apostles’ empowerment illustrate how God completes what He begins.
7. Breaking Discouragement
The ministers address discouragement directly, declaring:
- “No more weeping.”
- “You will recover all.”
- “You will not miss your destiny.”
CONCLUSION
The service concludes with:
- A call to salvation
- A corporate prayer for a second touch
- Prophetic declarations over the church
- Blessings for the guest ministers
- Final thanksgiving and benediction
The pastor seals the night with a declaration that the miracles received will be permanent, and the congregation is encouraged to walk in their new beginning.
“That which the Lord has done this day shall be permanent… I will not lose it.”
