Luke chap 21: 26-28 (NIV); During Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin. She was engaged to marry a man named Joseph from the family of David. Her name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, “Greetings! The Lord has blessed you and is with you.”
I believe every Christian is brought up knowing this bible story. An angel appeared to a virgin named Mary, and today, we all celebrate the goodness of this visitation. I was reflecting on this passage this morning, and I realized this was a divine visitation from the Lord. It is not normal for someone to see angels always or have an encounter. It is something supernatural, and only God can do it.
Mary was a girl who was a virgin. She had a divine visitation from the Lord with a message that she was blessed and would conceive a son and be called the Son of the Most High.
Luke chap 1: 30-32 (NIV); The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary; God has shown you his grace. Listen! You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of King David, his ancestor.
But Mary being a normal human being, was afraid. She was trying to comprehend how this could happen since she was a virgin. Mary was looking at her weakness at that moment in time. She was a virgin, and how could she bear a son without having gone through the normal life cycle of reproduction for human beings. But if we follow through the passage, the Holy Spirit is the answer to overcome this everyday life.
Luke chap 1: 35-36 ( NIV); ”The angel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. For this reason, the baby will be holy and called the Son of God.”
I realize the key to this divine visitation from the Lord is the power of the Holy Spirit upon Mary. When Mary acknowledged the power of the Holy Spirit upon her life, the rest is history. We celebrate Jesus today.
Luke chap 1: 38 ( NIV) ; Mary said, “I am the servant of the Lord. Let this happen to me as you say!” Then the angel went away.
I believe divine visitation from the Lord is personal to us today. You may have had an encounter ten years ago, one year ago, or even one week ago. I wish to just remind you that these divine visitations were real. I believe I’m speaking to a group of people here who are looking at their insecurities and weaknesses. I want to encourage my readers today to look to Jesus. If you had an experience of this divine visitation from the Lord, hold on unto it. It may not be sensible to the people outside, but it was real for u.
The key is to humble ourselves, put aside our logical thinking, and submit to the Lord. He is the Lord God of the Most High. I recalled myself having a divine visitation from the Lord a decade ago. It was something real, and it is still alive in my Spirit today. But challenges in life, may make me doubt myself so much, if it was a real divine visitation until the Lord spoke to me clearly today.
Habakkuk 2 : 3 (KJV) ; For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Recently, I had an opportunity to hear a dear loved one in my family struggling with a health issue share his testimony of God’s goodness in his life. I knew it was a divine visitation from the Lord upon His life. I knew His Spirit in Him was alive. ”
”Abba, I just want to thank you for this divine visitation upon my loved one. I give you glory and praise.”Amen.
Dear readers, let 2024 be a year where we receive divine visitations from the Lord. It is personal and supernatural, and I am assured we will be fulfilled from within. The Lord God is real. He is the Alpha and Omega of our lives. When we have tried all our ways to get things done in our logical ways, it is time to surrender to the Lord. Be a servant like how Mary was. Humble ourselves and Let His will take place in our lives.
The Key to moving along the vision of these divine visitations is the outpouring of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Say this today: ”I thank you, Lord, for this gift of divine visitations.”-R.J.JOHN.
Prayer for today: ”Abba Father, I surrender each of my readers unto you today, O Lord. I thank you, Lord, that this year will be a year of divine visitations from you, O Lord. The Life of God will be so real in their lives, and they will experience a supernatural touch from you, Lord.”Amen
