Have you really encountered God (2)?
Hello my dear friend at the Prophetic Corner
I trust you had a great weekend and your new week is starting well. To every amazing father reading this piece, I want to wish you a “Happy Father’s Day”; I greatly celebrate you and I pray that God shall continue to strengthen you. Last week, we looked at the series “Have you really encountered God?” which you can go back to: https://adewaleonagbesan.substack.com/p/have-you-really-encountered-god. The summary of last week’s message is that; despite the great works that those great men had done, it was the divine encounter that made a great difference in their lives.
For this week, let us take it a bit further. We may ask the question – why must I have my own Peniel encounter? I will share some with you from the scripture.
Like the case of Peter in Lk5:1-11, this encounter will put an end to long-term toiling and struggles. Peter toiled all night and caught nothing until Jesus came into his boat. This same encounter will bring about net-breaking breakthroughs that will influence other people and leave them astonished.
Like the experience of Nathaniel in Jn1:43-51, divine encounter ends mockery and dumbfounds unbelievers. Nathaniel never believed any good thing could come out of Nathaniel until he met Jesus.
Like the experience of Jacob, this divine encounter will change your identity, and bring blessings beyond material possession. Like the experience of Peter from a fisherman to a fisher of men, this divine encounter will transform your destiny and life’s purpose. Like the experience of Isaiah, this divine encounter will reveal your real nature and make you readily available for divine assignment.
Like the experience of Gideon in Jud6:1-22, this divine encounter brings about strength, empowerment, grace, peace, and preservation of life. Like the experience of Manoah and his wife in Jud13:1-25, this divine encounter comes with a great blessing of the fruit of the womb.
So, we may all ask ourselves the question – how do I know if I’ve really encountered God? The answer is simple. From all these Bible personalities I have shared, one thing I discovered from their encounters is that – there is always a Word from God and a strange act by God.
It is my prayer for you in this new week that you shall encounter God, and God shall encounter you, in the name of Jesus.
