That one encounter...!

Acts 9:4-6 NKJV

Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.  It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

† Shalom †......! Day #96. Do you know that God is able to change a persecutor into a preacher of His Word? Let us pray! Father, let there be a 360 degree of total turning point in our lives.  Despite how we were before we knew You, yet You still chose us to declare Your greatness. Thank You Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, have you even been encountered by God? If yes what's the fruits of that encounter? It took one encounter to change a persecutor to a preacher, a sinner to an apostle. And since then apostle Paul never once he turned back to his old ways. Every encounter you have with God will change you and transform you into a new person. Paul had an emcounter with Jesus and that's it, it changed him totally and then he was constantly in a relationship with God. He was a well know religious man, he studied everything about the law but he did not have any revelation then and went on persecuting the church. But when Jesus encountered him, his life changed totally. Then later he was baptized and also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Then he began to search and understand the Truth of God's words. He gave his all,  100% focus in persecuting the church, likewise when he was encountered by Jesus, he gave his 100% for the cause of the Gospel.

When was the last did God encountered you? When Paul was encountered by God,  then he received instructions on what to do next. As he went about doing it, the ministry he did bears much fruits. When you have encounter with God, it must change you for better and not for worst and that encounter must bear fruits,  the fruits of repentance. I have been encountered by God many times and I thank God for who I am now. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
