DIVINE
VISITATION
Memorise: Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the
sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the
valley of Ajalon. – Joshua
10:12
Read: Luke 1:26-33 (KJV)
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a
city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly
favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found
favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,
and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and
the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his
kingdom there shall be no end.
Bible in One Year: Psalm
107-110; James 1:1-18
MESSAGE
A visit to a person can be classified as causal, ordinary, occasional, special
or divine, depending on the identity of the visitor and purpose of the visit.
One reason why visitation is desired is the fact that it usually involves the
exchange of pleasantries, good ideas, vital information and gifts. Visitation
brings joy to those in need, especially the fatherless and widows. The sick and
bereaved are also encouraged and strengthened through it. People generally
desire a special visitation by someone of a far higher social, political or
financial status, because such august visitors are known to bless people with
quality ideas, information and gifts commensurate to their status. Presidents
give presidential pardons, handshakes and gifts, while kings and royals offer
royal appointments, gifts and blessings. Beyond these, divine visitation is an
unusually privilege that God doles out to show special love, uncommon grace and
high favour. I prophesy to you that heaven will pay you a divine visit today in
the Name of Jesus.
Divine visitation is greatly rewarding and therefore highly sought after.
Whenever God steps into a situation, natural laws become suspended, and
supernatural laws take over immediately. This is evident in our memory verse.
Israel was in the middle of a battle with the Amorites when Joshua suddenly recognised
the presence of God. The Lord of hosts himself decided to pay the armies of
Israel a visit. Knowing that such a divine visitation had launched him into the
realm of the supernatural, Joshua immediately grabbed the opportunity by asking
for the impossible. Like Joshua, the presence of the Lord will launch you into
the realm of the supernatural today in Jesus’ Name. Divine visitation brings
immediate fulfilment of long standing prophecies, as it happened to Sarah (Genesis 21:1). Job testified that in his affliction, with his body terribly battered,
it was divine visitation that preserved his spirit (Job 10:12).
Also, in Zephaniah 2:7, the Bible reveals that the visitation of the Lord
turns away captivity. Every time the manifest presence and glory of God is with
His people, they ushered into the realm of the supernatural. In this atmosphere
of miracles, all challenges and problems turn to testimonies. This is your
season of divine visitation! Praise God and tap into it.
Prayer Point: Father, please grant me the privilege of a divine
visitation today, in Jesus’ Name.
