Yesterday I was under the ministry of Pastor Irene Cole. The theme of the women conference is ‘Touch Bearer’. I will write about some Biblical touch bearers later. But because I need to catch some sleep in readiness for tomorrows sessions of the conference, I will only highlight who a touch bearer is, and in subsequent blogs, I will fill you in with my thoughts on the concept ‘touch bearer’.
A touch bearer by definition is
• A carrier of light or touch
• A risk taker
• Someone who inspires and sets a pace.
• Someone in the forefront of a campaign, crusade or movement.
Are we all expected to be touch bearers? I think yes because the Bible says so in Matt 5:14-16.
‘’You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.
And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.
Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven’’
I think a more appropriate question is can we all be touch bearers? If a touch bearer is at the forefront, then the ‘none-touch bearers’ will be at the back.
My opinion sincerely is that we all are expected to be touch bearers but not all of us CAN be touch bearers. The touch bearers are the selected few who will dare to make a change, refuse to maintain the staus quo, be persistent, consistent, and committed to their course. They are the courageous ones who lay the foundation others build on. We have read about them, Rosa Park, Martin Luther, the Wright Brothers to mention a few.
I really look forward to writing about touch bearers and being one myself. What about you?
Got to go now, tired and sleepy.
Jesus loves you.
(If you have read this and wonder what ‘pace’ you ought to set, or the touch, campaign or course you should be committed to, you will need to ask God who created you to reveal your purpose to you. But it all begins with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. So if you would like to invite Jesus into your life today, please say this prayer.
‘Lord Jesus, I want to know you and have a relationship with you. I believe you died on the cross for me. Your blood washed away my sins and I believe you will save me if I call on you. Save me Jesus. Forgive my sins and come into my life. I invite you to be my Lord and saviour. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen’.)
