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
