Preparation for Divine Visitation

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

“Distributing to the necessity of saints, given to hospitality” [ROMANS 12:13].

Welcome to the month of October, our season of double portion. Beloveth, this new season, the needs of the saints will sufficiently be met more than enough in Jesus Christ amazing and victorious name. All we need to do, draw nearer to your Creator more than ever before in righteousness in Jesus Christ precious name Amen-Shalom.

When Abraham saw the Lord and His angels, he entertained them. Many Christians have lost a lot of blessings to circumstances. We have become so sophisticated that we have deleted the word ‘hospitality’ from our register. Yet the Scripture tells us that the hospitable have entertained angels unawares [HEBREWS 13:2].

Hospitality is part of our Christian culture.  ROMANS 12:13 says, ‘Distributing to the necessity of saints, given to hospitality.’ How hospitable are you today? Some people keep making excuses for not receiving visitors.  Hospitality is a trait that can enhance your ability to receive divine visitors in Jesus name through several ways like meeting the needs of the needy.

To qualify for divine visits, you must be humble. In PSALM 138:6 says, “Though the LORD be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly: but the proud He knoweth afar off.” If you retain pride in your heart, God is quite unlikely to choose your boat because He keeps a safe distance from the proud.

Another requirement for divine visitation is that you must be ready to give Him water. The greatest need of the one who has travelled a long distance is water. In most traditions, water is the first thing offered to a visitor.

What is the water God is requesting from you today? It is PURE WORSHIP. In JOHN 4:23-24 says God is carrying out a search for true worshippers to pay them a visits.  It is a selective visit. God will visit those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Worshipping God is when you begin to reel out His glorious names and what He can do and not focusing on what you can get from Him. Rather for who He is. This makes Him to ‘swell’ as it were in Jesus name.

Moreover, God will visit those who will give food to eat after the initial water. What type of food does God eat? Apart from the times you have invited Him to join you during meals, God’s regular praises. This is why 1 PETER 2:9 tells us we have been created to praise God in everything we do [COLOSSIANS 3:17]. Beloved, your life should praise God. Every part of our body, especially your mouth, should be engaged in feeding God regularly with the food of praise.

God chose David because he was always praising Him. Compared with King Saul, David excelled in good deeds. As few as king Saul’s crimes were, he could not escape God’s wrath. But as many as David’s crimes were, because he was a sincere worshipper and always praised God, he was spared the wrath of God.

Dear friend, God does not want to lose a true worshipper. Are you a true worshipper? Have you been giving God what He likes? He will surely give you what you like. Feed Him regularly with praise, worship and thanksgiving!

BELOVETH, TODAY’S “MY COVENANT WEDNESDAY” IS A VERY UNIQUE ONE. IT’S THE FIRST IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AND IT’S A TAMBOURINE WORSHIP. PREPARE SOME STEPS YOU CAN TAKE INORDER TO ATTRACT GOD’S DIVINE VISITATION. DO THEM NOW, ASK FOR A VISIT FROM THE LORD TODAY IN THIS NEW MONTH. THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST – SHALOM
