DIVINE VISITATION
Text: Gen 18; 1 - 20, Gen 19; 12 – 17, Judges 6; 11 – 40.
Divine visitation is a visit from God. It is a visit from above. The visit is usually brief and for a specific purpose. God can visit you or you can initiate God’s visit.
I will start by discussing some people God visited in the Bible, such as; Abraham, Lot, and Gideon.
Divine Visitation to Abraham
Gen 18; 1 – 11. “The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre.”
Gen 18; 10. Then the Lord said “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”
The Lord visited Abraham through the three Angels. Abraham was very hospitable to them, and he entertained them. With this visitation, a message of hope was brought to Abraham and Sarah his wife. The message was that they would have a child in a year’s time. Additionally, during this visitation, God revealed his plan for Sodom to Abraham. Furthermore, God reassured Abraham that He had chosen him, and that he would be great.
When God visits, sorrow, despair, anxiety, and hopelessness will disappear. As God visited Abraham and Sarah, He can visit you with good tidings. God shall visit you; sorrow, anxiety, and hopelessness will disappear from your life in Jesus name.
Divine Visitation to Lot
Gen 19; 12. The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here; sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,” v13 “because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
God did not want Lot destroyed, so he had mercy on him and his daughters. God can save you from calamity and destruction. When you are visited and such warnings are given, do not hesitate and do not allow the worldly cares and materials to hinder you.
You shall not be consumed in Jesus name, Amen. Lot was also hospitable to the two men sent by God. When a place becomes chaotic and unsafe, God can remove and relocate you.
Divine Visitation to Gideon
Judges 6; 12. The Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon he said; “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” V14; “The Lord turned to him and said, Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”
When God visits you, encouragement will come and you will be lifted up. You will have assurance and confidence to move since instruction will be coming from above, you will do things according to His perfect will.
God that visited Gideon for support, reassurance, encouragement, guidance, and direction can still do same for you.
Remember that I said earlier that you can initiate Divine Visitation. How?
- By intense worship
- By offering quality praise
If you want Divine Visitation, YOU MUST:
- Harbour no sin
- Live a life of holiness
- Offer quality praise
- Worship God intensely
Prayer
Father, in the name of Jesus, I want you to visit me as you visited Abraham, Lot and Gideon. I want good tidings as well. Let me have this experience. Thank you Daddy. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
