Divine Encounters

Day 125 Reading: 2 Chronicles 17:1 - 2 Chronicles 19:11 From conception, we grow to become adults. Many times we children of God don't understand that this principle of growth applies to all areas of life. King Jehoshaphat had an understanding of walking deeply with God. He understood that a shallow walk with God leads to shallow understanding. There is a blessing when you walk deeply with God. King Jehoshaphat walked in the commandments of God and loved God. The Word declares that God was with him because of his walking in the ways of God. This King enjoyed unprecedented favour with God as the kingdom was established in his hand. He enjoyed a reign that was initially free of war giving him time to fortify the cities of Judah. He became powerful overtime and made the cities stronger. Even the people serving the king were given to God. One such person is Amasiah whom we are told willingly offered himself to the Lord. This gentleman was a general yet he offered himse...

Day 104 Reading: 1 Kings 21:1 - 1 Kings 22:53 In the journey of life, you will meet many characters. People either add, multiply, subtract or divide in your life. The impact of these people determines whether their actions are for good or not. Surround yourself with those who are God centred. Let your friends add joy and peace to you, multiply love and grace, subtract burdens from you and divide challenges you are facing by being an answer to the problems of life. Friends inspire us to greater works or to our demise.  Ahab had married outside of Israel. He had married the daughter of the King of Sidonians. God had commanded the children of Israel to never marry from the people they evicted from the land for they would turn their hearts from serving God. We have seen the actions of Jezebel for the last two days. She had priests of baal and asheroth dining at her table. Ahab worshipped baal, had an altar for baal and somehow had prophets he would call for guidance. Jezeb...

Day 103 Reading: 1 Kings 19:1 - 1 Kings 20:43 God desires that we see His power displayed. God detests that the world does not know His power. God is raising a generation that will manifest His power like never before. Reading through the daily reading the Holy Spirit began dealing with my heart regarding the manifestations of the power of God on earth today.  Elijah walked not just in authority but in the power of God. Elijah spoke and it didn't rain for years. Ravens brought food to him. He was directed to the woman of Zarephath who only had a morsel of food remaining and at his word coupled with her obedience they never lacked supply. When he prayed God heard him. God answered his prayer to raise the boy from the dead and in the showdown with the priests of baal God again manifested His power. From the encounter where God answered by fire, Elijah prayed and it rained. As it came pouring down the hand of God came upon him lifting him and causing him to trav...

Day 102 Reading: 1 Kings 16: - 1 Kings 18:46 God's Word is final and once God has said it, be sure it will come to pass. I know that right now you may be saying that I don't understand the troubles or challenges you are facing. Let me point you to God. The Word of God cannot fail. Understand that the Word of God has the final say; believe that the Word of God will have the final say; know that the Word of God will manifest without an iota failing to happen. The Bible is proof that God's Word has the finality in every situation. No matter what you are facing, let the Word of God become the final arbiter. God has never failed and He is not about to. The new Kingdom of Israel didn't get a proper foundation of having a king who loved God to be an example to the people on the proper way to worship God. From Jeroboam the first king, we see idolatry being practised.  Repeatedly we see that a constant message was sent to the kings by God through the prophets. This ...
