VISITATION OF GOD

Devotions

FAITH CAPSULE: To experience divine visitation is not to live a wasted life.

Genesis 12

Divine (Godly) visitation of God is an asset in the life journey.
The divine visitation can be on the literal platform, the word of God.
One available at His visitation is possible for such one to experience termination of life struggle.
One not available is evidence to have missed the visitation of God not to engage in the calling assignment in life.
When God visits one, such shall surely reposition in the life journey.
Genesis 50:24, “And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
God visited Israelites in the bondage of over four hundred years.
The visitation of God brought them out of bondage.
Abraham had unannounced divine visitation in the word of God, and he was changed in the position of God for him.
There was no record that Abraham saw God in the physical. The divine visitation of God was in the word of God, His presence.
Abraham had an encounter to experience the wonder of God.
The word of God unplugged him from his country, family, and father’s house to an unknown land. (Genesis 12:1-2)
Abraham’s encounter with divine visitation replaced him with greatness to the glory of God.
Moses had no plan to return to Egypt after he escaped a murder charge against him for killing an Egyptian.
Divine visitation of God repositioned him for the glory of God.
Exodus 3:1-4 documents, “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.  Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” So, when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”  
Moses’ divine encounter was in the word of God, and he was led into a divine assignment for his life.
Giving oneself continually to the word of God is taking a position not to miss out on the visitation of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, the story of life visitation of God.
One who knows understanding of God will make the secret of a dwelling place and not miss out on the divine assignment under heaven.”
To experience divine visitation is not to live a wasted life.

Prayer for today: Ask for visitation of God and not live a wasted life.

SEEK GOD ARDENTLY!

Devotions

FAITH CAPSULE: Encounter His presence and experience His wonder.

Psalm 91

The word of God is God.
Seek God ardently to encounter His presence and experience His wonder.
Encountering the presence of God to experience His wonder is in the word of God.
However, the word of God is secret but not hidden to those who seek God for encounter to experience God. Isaiah 45:19 testifies, “I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
Seeking to encounter His presence for His wonders demands ardent diligence in His word.
Undoubtedly, seeking God in His word shall not be in vain.
Are you seeking God casually seeking God your way or diligently?
Seek God diligently in His word as a dwelling, as stated in Psalm 91:1, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
The word of God is the place to encounter and experience the presence of God if man will seek the word of God diligently.
Bible records wonder of God in His word: Psalmist testifies wonder of God in the word of God, “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.” (Psalm 119:114)Seeking for a hiding place in God as the shield is wonderful. God as the shield is the promise to be gained by dwelling and abiding in the word of God with earnest hope, not by mouth.
All should take the word of God that has never failed, as spoken in Isaiah 55:11, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Psalm 119:116 reveals a secret to be encountered by one who seeks God, “Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.”
One seeking the secret of God will have testimony as Psalm 119:133 records, “Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.”
To give attention to knowing and understanding the word of God is seeking God for wonders in the word of God.
In this wicked world, the peace of God is secret and is obtainable for one through Jesus (the word of God).
Philippians 4:7 states, “… and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  Peace of God does not happen by accident but by engaging in the secret of God.
Engaging the secret (word) of God is engaging His presence to experience the wonders of God, which do not fail.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to seek God diligently to have the encounter of His wonders.

THE YEAR RUNS OUT

Devotions

FAITH CAPSULE: The run out of the year is not the running out of timing of God.

Matthew 7

A believer in God must understand waiting on God to endure a period.
Waiting on God from the first month to the twelfth month of the year to receive from God is not a waste of time, whether there is the manifestation or not the expectation.
Understand to believe that there is nothing impossible for God to do.
One thing God cannot do is, God cannot fail.
Live life as a believer, not live by word of mouth answering as a believer.
Avoid not becoming an unbelieving acclaimed believer.
The word of God might sound foolish, but it never fails to deliver those who believe in His word. (1 Corinthians 1:21)
It is the word of God to ask, seek, and knock.
Asking, Seeking, and Knocking for answers to expectations at the appointed time of God is evidence of having faith in God and looking up to Jesus.
Hebrews 12:2 describes Jesus, “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Jesus, the author of faith, gave the way of receiving from God by stating, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)
Waiting on God demands trusting and hoping by asking, seeking, and knocking before getting the answer.
When there is no waiting on God rushing away from waiting to live a waste of life.
King Saul could not wait as instructed, and it was accounted to him as disobedient.
Obedience to God is to trust and hope by waiting on God.
Waiting for God is giving attention to a jealous God.
Psalmist admonishes, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed…” (Psalm 25:3)
A believer in God must understand the need to wait and endure.
Waiting can be a delay but never a waste of time.
Remember, time belongs to God, but the clock is the creation of the world that will not intimidate God to act outside of His timing.
God testified about David when Saul failed to wait on God.
God spoke through Samuel for the disobedience of Saul, “But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.” (1 Samuel 13:14)
David knows the heart of God to understand what it means as he consistently obeyed by waiting on God before making moves.
Understand that the delay of expectation this long is evidence of not the appointed time of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with the understanding to live by waiting on God.

WORD GAIN

Devotions

FAITH CAPSULE: All should desire to strive for the entrance of the word of God.

Exodus 16

Faith is described as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith has a source.
The Bible emphasizes the source of faith as stated,“…faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17).
Take to mind that the word of God which comes can also cease from coming when there is disengagement from hearing the word of God.
Are you hearing but not listening?
In this loud, wicked world, hearing but not listening to the word shall result in not giving attention to the word of God.
Loud going far or around is an earshot of the evidence of not hearing.
Word of God that gains entrance into man is the evidence of gaining faith.
All should desire to strive for the entrance of the word of God.
Allow the entrance of the word of God.
Psalm 119:130 records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Constantly engage the word of God to enter, and you grow in faith, able to please God.
Hebrews 11:6 states, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Without a doubt, faith drives one to live by the word of God. Habakkuk 2:4 buttress, “…the just shall live by his faith.” All that pertains to living life is encased to live by the word of God (living by faith). The word states, we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); we watch, stand by faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); faith purifies the heart (Acts 15:9); we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8). The word of God which is the source of faith answers to all area of living life.
Do you have faith? The word of God is proven; the word of God is the source of faith to live abundantly in the wicked world.
Jesus confirmed the need to live by the word of God when He quoted from Deuteronomy 8:3, “…man shall not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” (Matthew 4:4)
With challenges, the Israelites came out of the bondage of over four hundred years just by the word of God through Moses.
At a point of challenges, they complained about the lack of pots of meat and bread to the full.
God responded, “…Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you…” (Exodus 16:4)
God rained bread by the word of His mouth, not bread from the oven bakery, for the need of the Israelites.
In your challenges, have faith and not doubt; Live by faith, not sight.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled to live by the word of God.

ASK GOD TO REMEMBER YOU

God is a good God.
God is a perfect God.
Power belongs unto God alone.
He is a perfect God who created all without partiality in His doing.
Job 34:19 testifies, “Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands.”
Romans 2:11 states, “For there is no partiality with God.”
God has brought you this far by His goodness and mercy, not because you know how to live.
God remembers all and does not forget no one.
By His will, all exist and were created. (Revelation 4:11)
With rampant sin among His creation, He did not fail to remember them for deliverance from the consequences of their sin.
The remembrance of Noah at the time of the flood testifies that God remembers and does not forget.
Genesis 7:17 “Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth…”
God remembered Noah, and the water of destruction subsided.
Genesis 8:1 “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.”
God cares to remember His creation.
Are you with expectations all year with no manifestation?
Day after day, week after week, month after month with no expectation is not evidence God does not remember you.
Keep in mind God REMEMBERS all at all times.
For yet to gain your expectation is not late before God.
Time belongs to God.
Clock belongs to the world that cannot intimidate God to move out of His time.
With this understanding, wait on God.
Trust and hope, the character to wait on God is not of the mouth but of the heart.
Have trust and hope to gain the blessing of God in His remembrance.
With the trust to call on God but lack hope because of doubt denies blessings of God.
With a trusted call on God, avoid confessing negative expectations that demonstrate a lack of hope.
Trust with hope should patiently wait on God to provoke the blessings of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 testifies, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.”
Ask to be enabled to trust and hope, waiting to gain from God remembering you.
Wait on God by asking He, remember.
God is not talkative and wants all to ask, seek, or knock to get an opening, evidence God remembers. (Matthew 7:7)
Mind you, God creates all.
He does not forget but remembers one who knows to remind Him.
Are you having any case or an issue before God to remember you?
The word of God encourages all, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
God is a good God that will not ignore the call of His creation.
Do not stop to call on God to remember you.
God is a caring God.
God waits to act for those who wait on Him.
Isaiah 64:4 confirms, “…Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Wait on God by watching and praying unceasingly, and He will not fail to remember you.
Hannah had no child.
Hannah had a case or an issue before God to remember her.
I Samuel 1:5 made it known that the Lord had closed her womb.
Hannah needed God to remember her.
Yearly, Hannah went to worship God to seek and be remembered by God.
1 Samuel 1:11 records, “Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”
Hannah played her part and sought God to gain His presence in remembering her.
Are you playing a role to remind God, who does not forget His creation?
God that does not forget you but shall remember you if you will wait on Him.
God remembered Hannah.
1 Samuel 1:19 records, “Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah, his wife, and the Lord remembered her.”
Hannah sought God when she was barren.
God remembered Hannah to open her womb to conceive, and she had a child.
With the remembrance of Hannah by God, mockery over her life turned to the miracle of God.
Ask God to remember you, and mockery shall be converted to a miracle.
When God remembered Noah in the ark, the flood water of destruction subsided.
Ask that every flow of direction in your life that is not of God be subsided.
God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Call on God to remember you.
God is a caring God.
