An Encounter with the Father
She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
Bible Reading:  Matthew 9:19-22
Whether you encounter God or He encounters you, your life will never remain the same. From the book of Genesis to Revelation, there’s no one who encountered God whose life did not change. An encounter with God is all you need. Ask Abraham how his life transformed after encountering the Lord. What about Moses and Apostle Paul and many others who encountered God? In our Bible reading today, the woman with the issue of blood encountered the healing power of Jesus. She only touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and she was healed. An encounter with the Almighty, All-knowing and All-sufficient God will bring good things into your life in Jesus’ name. No matter your experience, status, and dreams, an encounter with God can transform your life. An encounter with God can be either positive or negative. If you are on the Lord’s side, it is for your good but if you are working against Him, an encounter with God can result in a negative experience. Ask the Syrians who were against God’s people (2 Kings 7). What about Goliath and the Philistines (1 Samuel 17)? Dear friends, be on the Lord’s side by turning totally unto Him if you have not. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, continue in Him. I pray that God will encounter your life in Jesus’ name.
Action Point: Pray for a new encounter from the Lord.
Daily Confession: Jesus I ask that you encounter my life.
Intercessory prayer: Prayer for God’s intervention in the following nations: Nigeria, Turkey, Syria, and New Zealand.
Hymn: O God of love, O King of peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrains;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
