DIVINE VISITATION

Memorise:
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. .. Judges 13:3

Read:
Judges 13:2-3

Message

I started discussing about divine visitation yesterday and I said that people can have a divine encounter with God through His word. Today, in continuing my discussion, I will point out another way by which believers can receive divine visitation.

The Bible tells us in Hebrews 1:13-14 that angels are ministering spirits that are sent by God to minister to people. Sometimes, when God wants to visit His children He sends His angels as divine visitors. For example, in Judges 13:1-25, when God wanted to tell Manoah that he and his wife would give birth to Samson, He sent an angel Likewise, in Luke 1:8-20, when God wanted to tell Zechariah that he would have a child. He also sent an angel as His messenger. You may ask, "How will I ever recognise an angel if one comes to me?"

Occasionally, the angel that God will send to you could be a human being. For example, in 2 Kings 5:1-14, the angel that God sent to Naaman when it was time for his divine visitation was a maid. It was the girl who said to his wife, "I know where my master can get his healing." There are many stories of human beings that God used to bring certain people to the fullness of their purpose. May God send such destiny helpers to you speedily, in Jesus' name.

Beloved, you must be hospitable to everyone you meet. This is because you do not know if the angel that God is sending to you will come in human form. Hebrews 13:2 says, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Imagine if Naaman's wife had maltreated their maid, he would have probably died a leper. Some people have sent their angels away with their terrible behaviours; do not be like them. Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:10:

    As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Beloved, you must do good to everybody, regardless of their tribe, religion, social or financial status, or age, because you never can tell if they are angels that God is sending to you. Your kindness can open doors of abundant blessings to you. I pray that you will show kindness to the angels God sends your way so that you do not miss your divine visitation, in Jesus' name.

Bible In One Year:
2 Chronicles 25-28

Hymn:
Guide Me, o Thou Great Jehovah

Key Point:
As much as you can, do good to all men.

King James Version

Judges 13:2-3

And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. [3] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
RCCG Hymn

Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!

  1. Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
    Pilgrim through this barren land;
    I am weak, but Thou art mighty.
    Hold me with Thy powerfulh and:
    Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
    Feed me now and evermore (2ce)
  2. Open Thou the crystal fountain.
    Whence the healing stream doth flow:
    Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
    Lead me all my journey through:
    Song deliverer! Song deliverer!
    Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce).
  3. If I tread the verge of Jordan,
    Bid my anxious fears subside:
    Bear me through the swelling torrent.
    Land me safe on Canaan's side:
    Songs of praises! Songs of praises!
    1 will ever give to Thee (2ce).
  4. Saviour, come! we long to see Thee,
    Long to dwell with Thee above;
    And to know in full communion.
    All the sweetness of Thy love.
    Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!
    Take Thy waiting people home (2ce).
