FAITH CAPSULE: Abraham had encounter to experience the wonder of God.
Genesis 12
Divine (Godly) visitation of God is an asset in man’s journey of life. God divine visitation can be on the literal platform which is word platform. God is still appearing to people literally, through His word. God does not announce His visitation but when man is available at His visitation it is possible for man to experience termination of life struggle. When man is not available at the time of divine visitation man shall take a position to miss divine assignment in life.
God’s visiting of man will surely reposition man’s journey in life. 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 and they were re-positioned by God.
Abraham had unannounced divine visitation in the word of God which changed him from his position to God’s position. There was not record that Abraham saw God in the physical but divine visitation of God was in the presence of His word. Abraham had encounter to experience the wonder of God. The word of God unplugged him out of his country, family and his father’s house to unknown land. (Genesis 12:1-2) Abraham’s encounter with divine visitation replaced him for greatness to the glory of God.
Moses had no plan to return to Egypt after he escaped murder charge against him for killing an Egyptian. Divine visitation of God replaced him for God’s glory. It is written, “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.”” (Exodus 3:1-4) Moses’ divine encounter was in the word of God and he was led into God’s divine assignment for his life.
Giving self continually to the word of God is taking a position not to miss out of God’s visitation. Through the pages of the bible, story of man’s life for the glory of God is the secret of God. Man, that know understanding of God made the secret of as dwelling place and could not miss out of God’s divine assignment under heave. Divine visitation is not an encounter for any man to miss divine assignment to become wasted under heaven.
Prayer for today: Ask for God’s visitation and not live a wasted life.
