Divine Encounters

Day 112 Reading: 2 Kings 21:1 - 2 Kings 23:37 One thing I have come to learn over and over again is that God is a God of a sudden happening. Everything may look bleak and then all of a sudden there is a change in circumstances that causes men to wonder how or where did that miracle come from.  To you my dear reader who is facing challenges that have driven you to the end of your wits, please know that God is a God of 'Sunddenlies'! He is able to show up suddenly in that situation and resolve it. Are you willing to believe that God is more than able to manifest Himself suddenly? Cast your burden on God and celebrate God for your season can change without an appointment.   Manasseh, the son of King Hezekiah was nowhere near like his father. King Hezekiah served and loved God, however, his son was the worst king to rule over Judah. He did everything that was wrong. The Bible says that Manasseh did abominations that exceeded the nations that God evicted from livi...

Day 105 Reading: 2 Kings 1:1 - 2 Kings 3:27 Congratulations as we begin the second book of Kings. As we continue this chronological read through the bible I encourage you not to give up. Reading the Bible is the best thing you can do for your life. Don't forget that studying, meditating and obeying the Word are the keys to success Joshua 1:9 . To walk the journey of life without a roadmap is to plan to fail. God gives us His Word as a manual to follow to arrive at the place He has ordained for us. Your success is hidden in the Word of God. Finding His Word and heeding it will open doors of success. Elijah fled the place of assignment at the threats of Jezebel.

He met Elisha who followed him promptly leaving his life behind him to go serve the prophet 1 Kings 19 . Ahaziah, Ahab's s...

Day 11 Reading Gen. 34:1-Gen. 36:43 Many times our motives are not pleasant in the sight of God. Jacob's daughter is raped by  Shechem. Shechem then pleads with his father to help create a peaceful solution to his error. Shechem was innocent in desiring to marry Dinah, however, he didn't respect her. We live in a day and age where purity in marriage is disregarded. Sex before marriage is considered normal today, however, that is not God's standard. There is a need to examine ourselves of what is considered allowable but is not pure before God. Shechem didn't understand that he had defiled a child of the covenant. I don't think he understood the power of a prophetic name on a covenant child. He was just mesmerised, enthralled, enchanted by this young lady and didn't have any patience or regard for order. God is a God of order. Principles reveal order. When submitted to the principles of God divine order follows our lives. Dinah in Hebrew means ju...
