Topic: POSITION YOURSELF FOR DIVINE ENCOUNTER – Part 2

MEMORIZE: “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested.”  1 Chronicles 4:10.

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

EXPOSITION:

One of the things we don’t have power to choose for ourselves is who gave birth to us, the family we came from. Many who don’t need children are having them and were aborting them, while those who are legally married might be barren. God is God in all these. Mad women are giving birth. Children of such mentally insane have no choice about who gave birth to them. It is their making. Jabez was a victim of this, as he was born to a woman who saw him as a son of sorrow. We didn’t see the picture of any father in the scene, meaning he might have been rejected by the man who impregnated his mother or that his mother died shortly after his delivery. His mother named him, “son of my sorrow”. Since then, sorrow has become his portion. It took divine encounter for Jabez to change his destiny form the son of sorrow to an honorable. The Bible testifies that he was more honorable than all his brethren because God favoured him.

It was divine encounter that Saul had on his way to Damascus that made him a new person. The way had been persecuted now became his lifestyle and what he laid down his life for. He possessed the heart God can trust and use for the kingdom expansion. When you experience divine encounter, your life that is view and addressed as ordinary will be transformed. You will become an instrument of honor in the hand of God. It is an experience we should all seek for our living. Know for sure that “he that seeks, finds” Matthew 7:7-8.

PRAYER POINT: 

Pray for divine encounter that will make your life meaningful and fruitful in the hand of God.
