NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP'S DESK

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I wish you a year filled with Divine Encounter. May Each Day be a Journey of Growth and Grace.

Divine encounter will change your life. 

An interesting story of a man called Saul of Tarsus, in the book of Acts 9:1-5.

He was a persecutor of the early church and was against the ways of the Lord. He was an enemy of those that believed in Jesus Christ, he believed in God and thought he was doing God a favour by persecuting anyone that believed in this so-called King of the Jews. One day something happened to this man. It was an accident, a divine accident, when he felt the impact of this divine encounter, he fell from his horseback, the Bible says, “as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round him a light from heaven. And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?

 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.” he could not remain the same. He didn’t have to be told who it was that had appeared to him, instantly he got a deep revelation and said, ‘who are you, Lord”.

Saul knew that it was God. When you have a divine encounter, you will not need to be told that you have been touched by God, but you will know.

Two things are certain to happen to your life when you have a Divine Encounter!

 Firstly, every wrong thing will be broken. The power of God will take charge of the circumstances of your life. Certainly, an encounter will not leave you the same.  No longer will you be tossed around and haunted by situations intending to turn your life, businesses and finances into a mess.

The encounter is all you need to have every negative circumstance turned around. It can be a tumour in your body, a huddle at work, crisis in the home and brokenness of the heart — the encounter with the Spirit of God will rub it all!

Despite the years, it has been like or the degree of the situation, the divine accident is with a higher and greater power, no wonder Saul asked, “who art thou Lord?” Every situation is bound to recognise the power locked in an encounter!

Secondly a divine encounter will leave you with a fresh and deeper revelation of who God is and what he can do. Many people struggle to believe the Word of God and to comprehend how He can work miracles and channel blessings into someone’s life — it’s a divine encounter that makes all the difference.

Paul, who was Saul, got to know Jesus in a fresh way, and it changed the course of his destiny and life. You cannot meet heaven and be the same again.

Brethren, Prepare for breakthrough! Prepare for Divine Encounters!
