ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): GENESIS 32:24-28
MESSAGE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding what it takes to maximise seasons of visitation
POSITIONING FOR A DIVINE ENCOUNTER OR VISITATION – THE REQUIREMENTS:
- The perception of need (Gen. 32:24-28; 1Chron. 4:9-10)
Perception affects possession
God does not respond to religion, God responds to passion.
The worst thing that can happen to anybody is to have a need and not be aware
Answers only happen for questions; solutions only happen for problems - Sensitivity to Divine timing (Eccl. 3:1; Acts 2:1; Luke 19:41-44)
God is a God of purpose, but also a purpose of season
It is the marriage of purpose and season that gives birth to destiny
Wherever there is drastic physical need, it creates drastic hunger for God - Positioning at the right location (Gen. 28:10-12; 35:1; Ex. 3:1-2; Acts 2:1; Ps. 133:1-3)
Divine visitations are location-sensitive
God can work anywhere but there are things that God does in certain places at concentrated measures
Positioning at the right location is critical for Divine visitations
There is a place where blessings, visitations and encounters are mandated (Ps. 133:3)
It is possible for people to have encounters where they find themselves on their own, but the number of encounters is more concentrated in specific locations - Desperate desire (2Kings 2:8-12; Gen. 32:24-28; 2Kings 2:12-13)
God does not give encounters to the casual, encounters belong to the desperate
If your life must end glorious, you must begin serious
Desperation is key to Divine visitation; desperation is a magnet of mantle
If your desire is desperate, even the carrier of the mantle is helpless, in case he does not want to willingly release it
God will not bother you with what does not bother you - Unbroken focus (2Kings 2:10; Acts 2:1)
Focus is key to fire and key to impact
When you are focused you may appear anti-social, proud, or arrogant
There are times you put off your phone by focus - Definite expectation (Gen. 32:24-28; Mark 10:50-51; 2Kings 2:9-10)
You must be decisive and definite to experience Divine visitation
It is only what you describe that God will deliver
You cannot discover it if you cannot describe it - Passionate praying (1Sam. 1:10-13; Gen. 32:24-28; Acts 1:14; 2:1-4)
PRAYERS:
Father, thank You for Your Word to us tonight. To You be all the glory Lord in Jesus’ Name.
Father, I perceive my need for Your visitation and I know this is the season for Divine visitation. Thank You Lord because I am positioned at the right location for a visitation. I receive the grace for unbroken focus. Father, my expectation is definite and my life must change. Father, I pray for a change of story, in Jesus’ Name.
