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.
