Topic: POSITION YOURSELF FOR DIVINE ENCOUNTER – Part 1

MEMORIZE: “When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”  Matthew 8:10.

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 32:24-30.

EXPOSITION:

Divine Encounter is meeting God in a supernatural way resulting to great transformation in the part of man. Without divine encounter, man will remain ordinary and may not be able to challenge his enemies whom he sees stronger, bitter and hostile to him. 

Jacob remained in exile for twenty years for fear of his angry brother, Esau whom he has stolen his identity and birthright blessing. Even when it was necessary for him to return to home, he was still afraid of meeting with his brother. At this time, he needs divine encourter that will change his identity from the stolen one he has been carried about to the one that will help him fulfill his original destiny. While he was alone, he received an angelic visitation. He acknowledged this might be his last chance of seeing divine being. Surely, he needs heavenly blessing that brings total transformation. He grabbed the angel and wrestled with him till almost day breaking. His desire and request has been, “I will not let you go, except you bless me!” Genesis 32:26. At the end, his name and identity was changed and blessed.

What has defined your life? What do people know you for? You need divine intervention to be able to do beyond the natural. Divine encounter activates virtues that are dormant in man and increases man’s value. Divine encounter makes you special and relevant in the kingdom service. Without this encounter, Jacob would have been running away from his brother all through his life, but he found favour from his brother who was once hostile against him. Divine encounter bring you in favour with God and men.

PRAYER POINT: 

i. Lord, I desire divine encounter that will transform me from ordinary to extra-ordinary in my walk with you in Jesus name.

ii. Lord, let me experience you in a new dimension that will make me an instrument of honor in your mighty hand in Jesus name.
