A personal encounter with Jesus is always the beginning of every genuine relationship with God. The Samaritan woman in John 4:16-26 had one encounter with Jesus that empowered her to turn her whole city around for God. All the great men and women of God in the Bible like Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Mary, David, Jeremiah, Elisha, and many others had personal encounters with God in very special ways, which reflected in the nature and depth of their relationship with Him. When you encounter God through a divine visitation, you can be sure you are in for pleasant surprises. Being a benevolent God, He does not come empty-handed whenever He visits an individual. In Genesis chapter 18, the angelic visitation to Abraham and Sarah brought about the pronouncement of irreversible blessings which led to the birth of Isaac (Genesis 18:10). My prayer for you today is that you will encounter God in a powerful way in Jesus’ Name.

Apart from a divine visitation, you can also encounter God through His word (Psalm 107:20, Isaiah 9:. Every encounter with God’s word releases life-changing truth that sets free (John 17:17, John 8:32). Because our needs are different, the dose of truth needed to bring total liberation varies from one person to another. If you can expose yourself to more and more of God’s word and allow its light to shine upon your heart, captivity will give way and you will be completely free. God desires your absolute freedom, so that He can empower you to set other captives free (John 8:36, Mark 16:17). How much freedom are you experiencing in your life today? Everything that has taken you captive shall release you now in Jesus’ Name. Your deliverance shall be permanent, and you shall become a channel of salvation and deliverance to others in Jesus’ Name.

Beloved, the Christian life is not an ordinary life but a supernatural one (John 10:10, 2nd Peter 1:3-4). It is superior to ordinary natural existence. The kind of life we have compels things which ordinarily are impossible to happen. The supernatural can cause events which are contrary to natural laws to take place; therefore, anyone operating in the realm of the supernatural does things others consider to be impossible. It makes supernatural power to reverse the irreversible and move the immovable. This power is capable of igniting a revival that would turn the heart of a whole nation to Jesus. It is the only power that is superior to demonic and magical powers. I pray that you will encounter the supernatural power of God, which will destroy every work of the devil against you, and you will become a problem solver to your generation, to the glory of God, in Jesus’ Name.
