Message
I have come to understand that the difference between the right and the left hand is more than their positioning, on our bodies. For example, in Matthew 5:30 when Jesus was talking about everything you must do to make sure you don't miss heaven, He said, "If thy right hand offend thee. . . " He could easily have said, "If thy hand, " but He obviously emphasised the right hand because of its importance In Genesis 48:8-20 when Jacob was to bless Joseph's two sons, he deliberately placed his right hand on the younger son and the left on the older son. As a result of this, the younger son became more blessed than his elder brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).
Now, if the right hand of a man is that powerful, then you can imagine how powerful God's right hand is since we were made in His image (Genesis i:26).
Psalm 17:7 says that God saves by His right hand. In other words, when a sinner is snatched from the jaws of hell, it is God's right hand at work. This is why you must pray for God to raise His right hand on behalf of all your family members that are not saved. Furthermore, Psalm 139:10 says that He leads by His right hand. Isaiah 41:10 says that God also upholds with His right hand. After He has saved you and led you with His right hand, He will also keep you standing with the same right hand.
In Exodus 15:6, the Bible says that His right hand is not just powerful, but also glorious in power. This tells us that God fights with His right hand. In Exodus 15:11. 12, the Bible says that His right hand swallowed the enemy. In Mark 14:62, the Bible tells us that the right hand of God is the right hand of power. The right hand of God is also where you will find joy and everlasting pleasures (Psalm 16:11).
