…Spreading the gospel of Christ

WORD MEDITATION: 13/01/2019

Bible reading. Genesis 32
“And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” –Genesis 32:26 (KJV).
Jacob, having gotten clear of Laban, pursues his journey homewards towards Canaan. Here, the angel of God met him, in a visible appearance.
Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Jacob practically held the man captive in a fight for a change he desired. Jacob knew that this was not just an ordinary being.
 So many things has happened in the life of Jacob that he knew that he needs a change of story in his life. That was the very moment of encounter that he desired.
Just like the woman with the issue of blood got angry about her life, she was desperate for a touch on the garment of the master, she made up her mind and said, “if only I could touch the hem of His garment I will be made whole.” She took the bold step of faith and received her healing.
Jacob was not just fighting, he was desperate also. He had a desire, an expectation that must be met. Then the man said to Jacob, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.”  But Jacob insisted “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” That very moment,  the man said; “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with man, and have prevailed.
Jacobs expectations gave him a change of name. Jacob , a supplanter, a deceiver , that night became ” ISRAEL” a prince with the Almighty God.  Friends , there is no close case with God. We serve a God who specialises in doing impossible things. What is your heart desire? What is your expectation? Many times we come to God with no desire at heart. Without an expectation there is no manifestation.
No man has had an encounter with God and remain the same. Vow for an encounter with God for a change of story you desire. You have stayed too long in that situation, and circumstance. This is your time for an encounter.
The good news is; that God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is still your God and He is ready to meet you at the very point of your need in Jesus Name.
Prayer:
Father , I am desperate for an encounter with you, change my story for good.
