AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD
“Now Jabez was more honourable than his brothers and his mother called his name Jabez saying because I bore him in pain. And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that your hand would be with me and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain. So God granted him what he requested” I Chron.4:9-10
At any time God meets with an individual or bump into the camp of his children, something awesome and fantastic must surely happen. An encounter with Jehovah Yahweh the “I AM WHO I AM”. “The Lord God” brings blessings that cannot be hidden, brings a change in direction and destiny, changes your state, causes yokes and curses to be broken, makes a fugitive to become a national leader in a matter of days or weeks only.
Jabez was a man who had a good dose of sorrow, depression, hardship, rejection, pain, disappointment, disgrace and marginalization in life. His life was miserable, unpleasant; he started life on a very bad note but ended very well because he had an encounter with Emmanuel. Jabez had a change; you too will have a positive change in life as you read this message in Jesus’ name.
Jabez prayed and had an encounter that changed his life; you too can pray and encounter God in a way to become more honourable than all the honourable in your nation.
The Lord will rewrite your history, you started down, you will end on top, you began in lack, you will end in abundance in Jesus’ name.
Jabez prayed and had a breakthrough- Oh that you will bless me indeed.
When God blesses you, all your needs will be met. You will become rich and wealthy, secured and protected from danger and harm because the blessing of the Lord makes rich and add no sorrow to it. (Prov.10:22)
Jabez asked God; enlarge my territory- an encounter with God must surely bring about expansion, multiplication, increase and enlargement to your business, ministry, aspirations, goals, vision and breakthrough in your life.
The third prayer request of Jabez that provoked an encounter is that-
Your hand be with me. God’s hand brings about the release of divine strength to cope with the blessing and the expansion. From today, you will begin to get things done at the speedometer of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. God’s hand was with Elijah and he was able to outrun the chariot of Ahab to the gate of Jezrel. You will catch up and overtake all your competitors and outwit your enemies by God’s strength and wisdom from today. (II Kings 18:45-46)
Jabez cried to the Lord - keep me from evil. This divine encounter guaranteed Jabez’s protection and security. (Psalms 91:1-16) He shall hide you in His pavilion, in the secret place of His tabernacle, set you high upon a rock. (Psalms 27:4-5).
Exodus 3:1-10- Moses, a hopeless fugitive at the backside of the desert encountered God and in a matter of days became a national leader, the hero, king of the people and the deliverer in him showed-up. Your visions and potentials that have been forgotten and become dormant receive divine visitation and come to life in Jesus’ name.
Jacob encountered God, his name was changed from a supplanted “a cheat and deceiver” to Israel “God’s soldier”. His sun which was set after this encounter rose again, household enemies became allied, curse was changed to blessing. His glory came back and was restored to his original blessing. (Gen.32:24-31) You will begin to rise and shine from today because your sun that has been set will rise again.
Isaiah encountered God and his life and ministry changed. He saw the invisible, heard the inaudible and God began to perform the incredible through him. He became a volunteer for God, answered swiftly to God’s need, became a solution to national as well as international physical and spiritual problems as a result of one time encounter with God. (Isa.6:1-8) I pray that you experience a complete change in direction and destiny today that will put you on the going higher and forward for the Lord.
Zachariah and Elizabeth were barren for so many years; their encounter with the angel of the Lord put an end to their so many years of shame, sorrow and reproach. I see God meeting you at the point of your need and putting an end to age long anguish and reproach in Jesus’ name (Luke 1:1-14).
Peter was miserable because he failed in his fishing business but an encounter with Jesus gave him direction as to where to throw his nets. On throwing the net, he drew multitude of fish that made his net to start breaking.
Do you want to experience a divine encounter? Then you need to work hard. Prayer, fasting and studying the word and applying it rightly is hard work. God is a rewarder of the diligent not the lazy (Heb.11:6)
1) Therefore you really need to pray hard and very earnestly.
2) Praise God with all your energy.
3) Continue to give sacrificially and generously (I King 3:3-5).
4) Combine your faith with hard work in your chosen field, career or ministry.
If you want the Almighty to visit you and bring a permanent change to your life, then surrender your life to Jesus Christ and live consistently a life of obedience and holiness unto the Lord your God.
