MIGHTY VISITATION
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Bible In A Year: 1 Chronicles 10-13
MEMORIZE: And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they
were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31
READ: Judges 13:2-5
When God visits, He may not necessarily come unnoticed but mightily,
Samson in Judges 15:14-15, He came mightily. When He descended at
Pentecost on the 120 disciples, He came as a rushing mighty wind and
flames of fire (Acts 2:1-4). When He came down in Acts 4:31, He shook
the house. On one occasion, when I was crying to Him to envelope me with
His power, I shook like aspen leaf. Several years ago, when the only
residents of the Redemption Camp were the carpenters, I used to come
from Mushin (Lagos, SW Nigeria) to pray from Tuesday to Thursday. One
day, while crying my heart out to Him, suddenly the ground shook and
that earthquake was felt up to Ijebu Ode. The pictures I hung on the
wall fell. The newspapers reported that they did not know where the
shaking started from. The following morning when I went there, there was
a big crack on the ground. This kind of visitation is only for those
who have paid the price.
When the Holy Spirit came on Samson,
His visit was massive (Jdg 13:2-5). That kind of visit is for God’s
Nazarene. It can only come to those who are 100 percent separated unto
Him. From Luke 1:26-38 we understand that it is for those who are ready
for a life of purity, holiness and commitment; it is for those who will
not soil their hands or hearts and the truly consecrated. When God
leaves His throne to visit you, there will be an evident of that visit.
If you are still toying with sin in thoughts and deeds, you will not be a
candidate for such a visitation. If you truly crave this type of
uncommon visitation, then start paying the price from today. Step up in
your love and consecration to God. Step up the time you spend with Him
without being disturbed by phone calls or other issues. Step up your
study of His Word. Increase your personal and corporate praise and
worship time. Become 100 percent obedient to His commands and be ready
to do what He wants you to do, when He wants you to do it, how He wants
you to do it, and for the right reasons. Then ask for a mighty
visitation with evidence of that visitation.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, try my heart today and expose every hidden thought that contradicts your will and word.
