DIVINE ENCOUNTER

      

.

Divine encounter means unexpected visitation. In the Scripture we were told of several encounters with the Lord which had no limit. Paul had an encounter with the Lord on his way to Damascus ( Act 9:3-6). God met with him . Divine encounter is God meeting with you. This could be in any area of your life. Moses had an encounter with God while tending flocks of   his father-in-law's . No man can truly say he knows God if he had not met with him.

Divine Encounter does not necessarily mean seeing God. It means having a personal revelation of who Christ is. It is coming to the knowledge and awareness of his finished work. It often starts with hunger and longing for more of the Lord in the place of prayer and studying the Holy book.The Bible says, he who seeks me shall find me ( Proverbs 8:17). It is creating a thirst for more of him.

Elijah was a man who earnestly desired to know more of God and through his life all men came to the awareness of God. Daniel was another man whose encounter with the lord brought all men to seek to know his God. When a man encounters God, it is contagious as everyone around him would see a difference and seek to know his God.

Whenever I study this part of the scripture ( Luke 22:54-62), I am always amazed about the goodness of God. Peter denied Christ thrice and many still knew there was something about him . They knew he had been with Christ.  

Is this your testimony of your relationship with God? God calls  you a light, a light reflects. Hence, the life of God in us is to shine forth and bring glory to him.
