Divine visitation

“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth." Luke 1:26 (KJV).

A divine visitation signifies the beginning of a profound transformation and the cessation of longstanding afflictions. The scripture recounts numerous instances where God's visitation brought about unprecedented changes and deliverance. In Luke 1:26, the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary in Nazareth heralded the miraculous conception of Jesus, illustrating that divine encounters can usher in the impossible. Similarly, the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage began with God's visitation of Moses through the burning bush (Exodus 3:2). These encounters signify that when God intervenes in human affairs, He sets in motion a chain of miraculous events, turning despair into hope and bondage into freedom.

"And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed." Exodus 3:2.

“And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.” Exodus 2:23

Moreover, the Bible underscores that divine visitation brings not only personal transformation but also collective redemption. God's visit to Abraham and Sarah transformed their barrenness into fruitfulness, leading to the birth of Isaac (Genesis 21:1-2). This visitation was not just a blessing to them but also the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations (Genesis 17:5). In the New Testament, the visitation of Jesus to Zacchaeus brought salvation to his household, demonstrating that divine encounters often extend grace and redemption beyond the individual to entire families and communities (Luke 19:9–10). Thus, divine visitation is a profound act of God's grace, bringing new beginnings, ending afflictions, and fulfilling divine promises.

I declare that in this season, you will experience a divine visitation that will transform your life completely, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, Let every affliction be broken, and let new beginning spring forth in my life, in Jesus’ name.
