Three Encounters Needed In Life

“Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus” Mt 17:3 (New Living translation)
You need to encounter the Savior (Jesus), your prophet (Elijah) and your Word (Moses) for you to stay victorious always in life’s challenges.
THE SAVIOR: One must accept the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord for one’s life to have meaning and one’s destiny to take shape. There is no true life purpose outside Christ. “…..He (God) has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do things He planned for us long ago” Eph 2:10b (New Living Translation). People that are outside Christ are blinded by the devil (2Cor 4:4) and are controlled by him (Eph 2:2).Now, one is not a Christian because he attends church services, sings choruses or even preaches on the pulpit. One is a Christian because Christ lives in him and this can happen if you repent from your sin, believe the atonement power of the blood through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and confess Jesus as Savior and Lord.
YOUR PROPHET: Your prophet may be your Pastor , a Man of God that ministers to you or Father in the Lord but he is someone who carries the grace, the blessing and the word to shape your life and to lift you above spiritual barriers. Your prophet is to you what Melchizedech is to Abraham (Gen 14:19); what Samuel is to obedient Saul (1 Sam 9:19); what Isaac is to Jacob (Gen 27:25); and what Elisha is to Jehoshaphath (2Kings 3:14-16). When your prophet speaks to your life, your life must respond, barriers are broken and supernatural aids are made available to you. You relate to your prophet with your tithes and venison (gifts), he inturn releases the blessing. Ask God to lead you to your prophet.
YOUR WORD: Your word is Gods revelation to you as a person. It may be spoken or written but it is revealed (to you). Your destiny is directly attached to it and when it comes you must receive it, believe it and act on it. Joseph was kept in prison until his word came (Psalm 105:17-19 KJV). When you encounter your word, the world will respond to you. There is a word for you to liberate and lead you to your destination. You can encounter your word through your prophet, meditation on the word of God or hearing messages. Ask God to grant you access into the mystery of His word.

I ask God to lift you above all barriers and make crooked ways straightened before you in Jesus name.

God will do it

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” James 1:17.

God is the giver of good gifts. If you desire a child, an husband, a promotion, an increase, or a blessing. They are good and I can assure you God can give you this and much more.

A Pastor shared his testimonies in our monthly meeting last week. He and his wife had been married for eight(8) years, God just gave them a baby boy early this month. He shared his experiences as to advice of people during their waiting period. Different counsel came from different people, some biblical some un-biblical; but they made up their mind to believe God.

Beloved, I don’t know what your desire is but I can assure you that the only thing you need to do is to seek God on the matter. You need not run helter-skelter. Jesus told Martha in Luke 10:42 that “But one thing is needful….” If you get through to God, you will get your miracle.
The Lord will visit you and meet you at the point of your need in Jesus name.

Your day is blessed.

Uncommon Sense

"Master," Simon answered, "we worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I will let down the nets." Luke 5:5

When common sense fails, what you need is an uncommon sense. Every sense comes as a result of information. It is common sense that when you work hard; when you do the right thing at the right time and when you apply the right skill, you succeed. But what happened to Peter and his colleagues in Luke 5 revealed that one can still fail despite the application of this common sense.

At this level an higher information is needed- a word from the Lord which I call an uncommon sense. For some people, they may easily receive the word by an encounter with their prophet like it happened to Peter but in some other cases they may have to seek God’s face to get a word through meditation on the word, fasting and prayer.

Beloved, have you applied the common sense and yet you did not get the result? Don’t give up, there is a way for you. The Lord will lead you and guide you. He will bring you to that mountain of success and breakthrough. Your responsibility is to seek the Lord on the issue and whatever He tells you, do.
It is well.
