Divine Encounters

Day 108 Reading: 2 Kings 9:1 - 2 Kings 11:21 Many people will want to know how they can see the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. One of the biggest frustrations I find amongst believers, me included,  is many suffer from unfulfilled promises. Too many are fatigued wondering why the promises are taking longer to come to pass. These frustrations and stagnation in life have caused many to lose faith in God. However, don't fuzz your blessing by thinking that delay is denial. God's word can never fail. His Word is guaranteed to come to pass. Learn to remind yourself of the times God's Word has come to pass. Elijah was given instructions by God when he fled to the cave in Horeb after the threats of Jezebel. After the encounter where God speaks to him with a still small voice, he received instructions to anoint three people. Elijah was to anoint Jehu as King of Israel, Hazael as King of Syria and Elisha as his successor. Elijah anointed Elisha as his successo...

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...
