A face to Face Encounter



Genesis 32:24

If its believing God you have believed , if its fasting for 21 days, 40 days, 100 days, so that God will intervene and pull you out of the floods of life that are seemingly trying to wipe you out, you have done so.
  
If it’s giving your time, skill set, and abilities so that God’s mercy should embrace and kiss you, you have done so.

If it’s sowing all the money that was to take you through the whole nine yards and to sustain the bread on your table, you have sowed.

If its overnight prayers, you have prayed as a matter of fact you have not even missed one night. If its trusting God when you did not have to trust, you have trusted.

If it’s obeying and following instructions from the spirit of God, you have also done so.

Indeed and in fact you have done everything and waited for God to favor, bless and be kind to you by way of bestowing his victory, glory, and honor upon your life.

But while in the process and in the course of waiting unto God numerous struggle have befallen and confronted you. Instead of being blessed you have only seen yourself struggling beneath your tails. Amidst the struggles for the life of you, you posed out of your breath and posed the question:

“Where is the God I have been serving with so much faith, charisma, trust, and enthusiasm?

Well the answer is in the fact that God came with in the struggles that you have been wrestling with. Its here and now that I want to suggest to your rational thinking mind that indeed and in fact, Jacob while in the book of Genesis 32:24 was actually waiting for God to favor and bless him with victory against his enemies.
  
And while he was waiting for God to bless him so that his enemies will not overcome him, God showed up inform of a man who began to wrestle upon God to bless you so that the world will no longer be against you but accept and favor you so that all will go well with your life.

And the God you have been waiting for just showed up inform of a struggle and by the time you are reading this, your struggles are passing away and now you can see the face of God.

And now you know that your struggles were just an occasion for you to have a face-to-face encounter with your God.

And the reason why you able to read this, is because you did not let go of God in the face of your struggles and your victory is in seeing the face of God.

Every time you encounter God’s face his glory thereof makes sure that you receive divine revelation. Jacob was pronounced victor in the struggle he had with God simply because he refused to let go of God in the face of his struggle.

If you are of the same mind as Jacob, your victory is only but a sure deal.

Henceforth the last struggle and fight Jacob  ever encountered and endured was with seeing the face of God, 

Jacob was favored and blessed with victory, glory, and honor to the extent all his enemies end-up becoming his friends by making peace with him, and a case in point is his encounter with his long time foe and brother-Esau.

Conversely God is telling you here and now that the struggle you are in is for you to see the face of God. 

And upon seeing the face of God you will struggle no more, as a matter of fact your struggle has ended and the just concluded fight to do well and be successful in life is your last one.

It may not look like so but believe, like it’s so because its so.

You won’t have to struggle and fight with anyone or anything anymore in order for you to survive. Why? 

Because every encounter you have with God brings a blessing/ a revelation of victory, glory, and honor into your life.

Victory has been pronounced on your life by God and any prospect enemy, challenge, conflict, and struggle that you encounter should never cause you to run, fear, nor begin preparing for war because even though it looks like a threat to your life, it has come to bless you and make peace with you because you the lord 

God‘s favored one, blessed one, glorious one and victorious one.

In your last struggle God announced you victor and winner so that you won’t have to struggle and fight any more wars.

Hence when people who look like your enemy bless you, there are only recognizing the blessing of God on your life.

 This is the last time that you’re going to be in a position of less because you have now entered a place of living with so much more.

Honor



Genesis 32-22&33-15

The place where the iconic Nelson Madiba Mandela was jailed and imprisoned for over two decades during the apartheid era is presently a place of Honor and a place that is revered by many.

 Its revered because Nelson Mandela (RIP) was imprisoned there for two decades and when he was released, he become more Honored than his contemporaries that did not go to jail.

My dear friends simply because your contemporaries are not in the same place of struggle as you find yourself thereof, does not mean that there are more blessed than you seem.

As a matter of truth when your struggle is over you will then find out that you more blessed than all of the people who did not have to endure as much as you have endured during your time of struggle.

 The struggles that you have endured are the reason why your life is going to be that of an iconic figure.

The iconoclastic nature of your life is justified by the struggle that your have just come out of.

When Jacob walks away from the greatest struggle of his life, he does so with victory.

And the victory is symbolized by his new name and the blessing of God that has just come into his life.

Ironically, Jacob has nothing to show for his victory and blessing in tangible sense and because he has nothing physical to show for his blessing his own family does not celebrate him, hug him, cheer him, nor congratulate him for his victory against God.

They do not celebrate because Jacob did not have any thing tangible in terms of spoils to show for his victory.

As a matter of fact if they were anybody who celebrated Jacob, it was not his best friend but his long time foe and brother- Esau.

Immediately after the struggle with God, Jacob who is now Israel by revelation and by virtue of the blessing of victory conferred unto him by God.

He walks away from the struggle with the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of victory, Glory, and Honor alongside an injured hip.

So when his family sees him for the first time after the struggle, all that Jacob can show is an injury that is seemingly a negative impact on his life.

They do not see the blessing yet but they see him limping and the only time they honor him is after telling them the narrative behind his struggle with God.

So my dear friends you have just walked out of your struggle and the first thing that comes out of sight about you seems to be negative to the people who are casually observing you.

All they see is the money and the possessions of wealth that you lost while in the heat of the struggle.

All they see are the people who walked out of your life during the struggle.

All they see is the weight that you lost while in the struggle.

All they see is the health issues that you have suffered because of the struggle.

All they see are the wounds, scars, pains, insults, shame, embarrassment, and the humiliation that you have suffered during the struggle.

What they do not appreciate and realize is that during the struggle, you acquired unique wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

And that by virtue of your newly acquired knowledge, wisdom, and understanding God has blessed you with a new outlook, a new perception and a new holy disposition.

And the blessing that you have received from the struggle is the warranty for your victory, glory, and Honor.

Immediately Jacob’s family, friends and contemporaries heard the impact of the struggle which he was embroiled thereof, they forthrightly honored his injured hip to the extent that they made it a point throughout Israel’s life-time.

Never to eat the tendon near the hip socket because of what happened that night when the man strained the tendon of Jacob’s hip during the heat of his struggle with God.

 According to the understanding and disposition that is within the American Navy, the reason for your honor is in the wounds, scars, and injuries that you suffered during your service to the nation of America.

Conversely, every wound that you have suffered is the reason why you are honored.
In addition, allow me to tell you, that has been through a struggle;” every scar, wound, injury, insult, embarrassment, humiliation, shame, and every thing that you have lost during the struggle in the context to your service to the Kingdom of God is becoming the warranty for your Honor”.
Every area of your life that has been negatively impacted by the struggle or due service to God is instantly being turned into a place of Honor in your life.

And the universe will honor your life based off the wounds that you suffered during this struggle.

 It’s an honor to walk in life with proper balance and when everything is upright, but whatever your struggles took away hence leaving you imbalanced and down right.

God is compensating you by replacing everything you suffered with tangible realities that cause about exceeding joy and celebration.

 Do not be surprised immediately after you have come out of one of the most challenging periods of your life and your family does not celebrate you, but instead talk but you on the basis of what you have suffered and lost.

The person who is going to celebrate you is the one whom you least expect, the one who comes from a far distance and from the place of God, from another nation, the one who you expected to harm, and hurt you and bring more hell and trouble in your life.

The one who you have not even been thinking about, the ones coming to celebrate you will celebrate you even before they ever find out about your struggle.

This will be so because the victory, glory, and honor of God on your life is becoming visible and whoever celebrates it will partake of the same.

Esau saw Jacob and he decided to celebrate Jacob instead of harming, hurting, and hating on Jacob because he understood that God was with him.
 
Don’t ever make a mistake to harm, hurt, and hate the one God has blessed because a curse will come upon you. When yo

A Situation of Humility



Genesis: 2-21

Every time that God Almighty calls and summons an individual to instruction and obedience the setup of that particular occasion is to bring that specific individual to a level and a degree as much as into a situation of humility in order for that individual to be able to gain access and information as regards the plans of God, the will of God and glory of God as prepared by God for that specific individual throughout the course of his or her lifetime.

However, it has to be said that often times than not, there is always a proclivity by those whom God has brought into a situation of humility to feel humiliated by their humility.
And in order for them to be able to overcome their proclivity to feel humiliated in the very place that has been ordained by God for them to gain access to the glory of God for their lives, there is a need to acquire and acquaint themselves with the revelatory knowledge of God Almighty.

Why?

 Because without the knowledge of God which comes by revelation then the individual who has obeyed and followed after the instruction of God will be without a doubt overcome by his/her proclivity to feeling humiliated .
In order for you to walk through the process of overcoming humiliation is by learning how to reaffirm and confess to yourselves that, “I ‘am not humiliated by this situation of humility because its God’s ordained place for my life to gain access to his promise made to himself to achieve and accomplish in my life.”
As much as the place ordained by God for me to see and to fully grasp and understand what level of glorious providence that God only and alone is going to establish in my life and in its course.
 My dear friends Jesus had to go past the garden of Gethsemane unto the hill of Calvary to hang on a cross of wood like a criminal and a murderer so as to gain access to the glory God only and alone had prepared for him, He that knew no sin suffered the humiliation of sinners because he had foresight that his place was only but a situation of humility designed by God for him to enter into God’s prepared glory for Jesus.
Jacob had to find a good place to camp for the right and why he was resting in the place and in the position as much as in the posture of humility God revealed to Jacob the glory that was going to occur in his life.

He was given a revelatory experience of the glory that God was going to cause in his life-time so that when it happens Jacob will give praise and glory back to God.

To the hearing of several generations that will in turn seek the face of God for a blessing.

A wife is a crown on top of a husband’s head but just like it’s impossible to grow tall on your feet so it’s impossible for one to recognize and appreciate their crown while on their feet.

Henceforth God had to perpetually imbue Adam in a situation of humility in order to gain a revelatory experience concerning his wife-Eve- who eventually was brought before him.

Sometimes God will place you in a situation of humility as a launch pad to shoot you over and above a lifestyle that is beyond your intellectual capacity, knowledge, understand, and wisdom, and if it’s beyond your description and definition.

At this point God will have me to tell you that the lifestyle you are about to operate in is beyond the reach of anybody living.

As a matter of fact you are going to be the first to operate in that lifestyle thereof.

No one has ever lived as excellent and perfect as you are about to live.

But the reason why you find yourself in the place of humility now is so that the glory of God may come running towards you as you open your arms to embrace it and welcome it and believe it for your life

The Instruction of God



Genesis: 12
Once the instruction of EL-Shaddai-God Almighty calls upon any given individual life, the essence of that call is fundamentally designed to give the “instructed one” possession over the blessings of God over those that he much loves.

However many a times than not, the instruction of El-Shaddai-God Almighty has a very uncanny way of exposing the “instructed one “of God  to many unexpected experiences.

For instance when the Lord called Abram to instruction in the book of Genesis chapter 12, little did Abram anticipate and expect that his life would be interfaced by a sever famine that struck the land of Canaan.
Consequently forcing Abram to go “down to Egypt” where he lived as a foreigner.

If I would deal with the aforementioned occurrence I can tell you that one of the most disgraceful experiences that you can interface immediately after obeying the instruction of God is going down and beginning to scrap at the very bottom of the bellow when indeed and in fact you understand that they is a kingdom in your belly that guarantees that you ought to be feeding and sleeping like a king as a much as operating on the top of life instead of down.

Abram received an instruction from the Lord and he expected the reward to be a higher-life but now we see him struggling against a famine to the extent of going down-to operate on a level of life that is actually below his organic standards.

And to add salt to injury he is forced to live as a foreigner because his status is not that of a citizen but that of a refugee.

Surely this is not what he expected upon obeying EL-Shaddai’s instruction.

However amidst all the unexpected the beauty of sarai-Abram’s wife is noted.

She is noticed and she suddenly draws praise all the way into the palace of the pharaoh who immediately decides to reward Abram for Sarai’s beauty.

There is something to be said about obeying the Lord’s instruction.

When you obey the instruction of God somehow and somewhere, the beauty of his countenance begins to walk with you and often times than not it casts its imagery unto your physical appearance hence fostering men and women to take note of God’s blessing on your life.

And once men and women take note of the beautiful countenance of the Lord on your life it puts them into a very unfamiliar mood of singing praises concerning the blessings of God in your life and before you know it wealthy resources and finances begin flowing into your life henceforth turning your fortunes around.

I want to talk to all of you gifted sons and daughters of the most High God, creator of Heaven and the earth plus everything that dwells therein.

God is about to cause wealthy resources and finances into your life as you obey his instructions because by obeying his instructions, your gifts will instantly begin to shine and men, and women from all over the world will take note, hence sing praises of your gift that is as a beautiful countenance of the Lord’s face.

And once the praises go up then the blessings will come flowing towards you.

Sometimes following the instruction of God will expose you to fight wars that you have no business engaging thereof and God will give you victory and a greatly awesome reward.

When God instructs you to do something you better do it because it will actually take you low and prepare you for greater heights.

As a result of the very fact that immediately after obeying God’s instruction you begin to see what you cannot see on your own.

 You begin to access realms and levels that your physical capacity cannot contain because they are actually higher and bigger than your life’s background and propensity.

God has prepared for you a life on the top but your access and possession over that life is through responding to his instruction.

In fact you can never know what God can reveal to you till you obey his instruction.

In addition, the revelatory experience of God is obtained immediately after obeying his instruction.
