Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every  manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

DIVINE ENCOUNTER!... PART 4 – THE MERCY OF GOD!

 

It’s quite interesting and challenging that we are already in the second half of the year. Interesting that the next six months offer new opportunities, and challenging because of the current state of affairs, not just in our nation, but globally. However, whatever challenges abound in our nation and individual lives, it takes only an encounter with God to turn things around and give us the much-needed victory.

An encounter with God (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), whether directly, or through His angels, or destiny helpers, is always a transformational experience.  We see this play out many times in the Bible and contemporary life. In Gen. 32:26-30, Jacob’s encounter with God provides him with a new identity and favor to meet with Esau about whom he was afraid would kill him. Moses experienced God, through the burning bush which was not consumed, and received a commission to liberate the Israelites from bondage in Egypt: Ex. 3:10-12 “Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.” But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?” God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.” NLT. For the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, a 38-year affliction was broken and he was healed instantly following an encounter with Jesus: John 5:8-9 “ Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!” Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath” NLT

As we draw faith and strength from these examples, it is pertinent to note that God is able, willing, and ready to give us encounters that will change our lives and destinies. Much as the second half of a football game provides opportunities to win the match, no matter how the first half went, July gives us the privilege of a relationship with and trust in God to turn things around for our good. The areas of turnaround may differ with individuals. For some it could be healing (relationship, physical, material or spiritual), preservation of lives, change of names and identities, birthing of destinies and setting same on the path of manifestation. In whatever area it is, God will give us an encounter this season.

Our five-part series for the month of July, “Divine Encounter”, connects us to the life transforming power of God to change our lives and give us a glorious destiny. This overrides whatever is our current status or situation. Join us this and every Sunday as we explore the theme.

God bless you.
