The Encounter

Everytime God decided to create an encounter with man in the Bible, their life never remained the same. From Abraham to Jacob to Moses to Joshua to Mary to Paul and the list goes on and on.

Gideon according to Judges 6 was the least person in the weakest clan of Israel at that time and after the encounter, God used him to save the whole of the Israelites from the hands of the Midianites.

I guess we all know the story of Moses, he ran from Egypt for the fear of his life, after the encounter, God used him not only to perform signs and wonders in Egypt but he led all the Israelites out of Egypt and he passed THROUGH the red sea.

Paul, he was the one that held the coats of the people that stoned Stephen to death. He was so terrible a person that he went about collecting permits to persecute the Christians and on his way to Damascus to persecute another set of Christians, he had an encounter with God that changed his life forever. Paul worked so hard for God travelling to places even if he was getting beaten, jailed, etc

The purpose of my long story tonight is to plead with you to plead with God to create an encounter with Him for you. If you feel you don’t need the encounter with God, i’ll be grateful if you say the prayer for me or any unbeliever that you know. Just take a couple of minutes and say “God please create an encounter for me(someone that you know is in need of this encounter)”.

God bless you.
