FAITH CAPSULE: Engage His secret place as a dwelling place to be locating His visitation.
2 Kings 19
With prophesy or declaration over the new month as: “Month of God’s visitation”, man must gain and retain God’s location to avoid missing visitation God. Among location not to miss God’s visitation is dwelling in the secret place of God. What is it about dwelling in the secret place of God as the location not to miss His visitation?
For example, reading and not studying the word of God can be compared to going into the presence of God and coming out without spending reasonable time to gain from God. Studying and living life by the word of God is an evidence of dwelling in the secret place of God. The word of God is not just a story but in it are the secrets that keep one to dwell under shadow of the Almighty God. Psalm 91:1 stated, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Without any doubt, there is no other place where a believer should dwell and abide not to miss His visitation. The secret of God is in the word of God. Studying and learning to gain understand, knowing God in His word is having a place in the secret of God. Word of God, the secret of God is unfailing promise that is beyond any man’s imagination. Engage His secret place as a dwelling place to be locating His visitation.
In addition to be expecting and not to miss God’s visitation is to watch and pray. Word repeatedly admonished need to watch and pray. Temptation is one to draw man outside of God’s location for God’s visitation at God’s appointed time. Matthew 26:41 warned, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” It is important to watch and pray not to miss when God comes with visitation.
In time of challenge with the need for direction, waiting patiently must be in place not to miss out of God’s visitation for God’s direction. Documentation of Elijah’s need for direction in time of his challenge made him to take location of waiting on God’s visitation. For Elijah it is written, “Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, butthe Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (2 Kings 19:11-13)
Taking location before God will allow not to miss His visitation.
Prayer for today: Ask God for grace to keep you in location not to miss His visitation.
