ENCOUNTERS THAT CHANGES THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER

TEXT: 1 Samuel 10:1-11

Intro
Beloved in Christ, once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your eternal life in heaven is assured.
However, your eternal life does not automatically translate into a better life here on earth. God has designed and put in place certain encounters that you must have that will cause your life to change for the better.

Main Point
For your life to change for the better as a believer, you must have the following encounters.
1. Encounter with the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit knows God's better destiny for your life. So you must:
- allow the Holy Spirit to change your heart
- allow the Holy Spirit to direct your life

2. Encounter with a man of God
Men of God are channels that God uses to bless His children. So you must:
- respect and honor the man of God that God brings into your life
- obey the instructions that God gives you through the man of God

3. Encounter with an ordinary man
Angels don't appear with wings, they come in the form of ordinary men. Their work is to connect you to destiny helpers. So you must:
- treat anyone you meet with respect
- be nice and don't be rude to people you meet

4. Encounter with the giver
Givers are those God has destined to give you the thing(s) that will change your life for good. So you must:
- be ready to meet them
- receive whatever they give you

Conclusion
In verse 11 b, the people who knew Saul earlier, said: "What has come over Saul who is nobody but a son of Kish?".

Get ready for these encounters, and after that, people who know you and think you are nobody would be surprised to see the change that God will bring into your life.

Move from Nobody to Somebody right now in Jesus name.
Shalom!

WHO ARE YOU IN CHRIST
YOU ARE A HOLY NATION

1 Peter 2:9 KJV
[9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Intro
Child of God, You must know, understand and believe who you are in Christ. Until you know who you are in Christ, you cannot fulfill the purpose of God for your life.

Who Are You?
As a child of God, God has made you a *Holy Nation*.

Being a Holy Nation means:
1. Your holiness is inputted by God upon your salvation
- The blood of Jesus automatically makes you holy as soon as you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior
2. God does not condemn you upon your salvation
- God will not judge you by your past life

However, your continuous stay as a Holy Nation, is yours to do with the help of the Holy Spirit.

You must continue to stay as a Holy Nation by:
1. abstaining from sinful desires - 1 Peter 2:11
2. offering your body as a living sacrifice to God - Romans 12:1

From today, believe, behave, walk and talk as someone who has been made Holy by God.
You are not an ordinary person, You are a Holy Nation.

Walk in Power, Walk in Favour, Walk in Miracles!

Shalom!

*_WHO ARE YOU IN CHRIST_*
- *YOU ARE GOD'S CHOSEN*

1 Peter 2:9 KJV
[9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Child of God, You must know, understand and believe who you are in Christ. Until you know who you are in Christ, you cannot fulfill the purpose of God for your life.

*Who Are You?*
Peter, the "favorite" disciple of Jesus, and apostle, in this scripture, provides you with the answer as to who you are in Christ.

You Are God's Chosen Person
Declare to yourself, I am God's Chosen Person
To be chosen by God means:
- God has shown you Mercy
- You are a carrier of God's Favour
- You are blessed by God

God chose Abraham out of all the people in his family, showed him favor and blessed him. Just like Abraham, so has God chose You.
From today, believe, behave, walk and talk as someone who is Chosen by God. You are not an ordinary person, You are an extraordinary person.

Walk in Power, Walk in Favour, Walk in Miracles!

Shalom!

THE LORD IS YOUR GLORY & THE LIFTER OF YOUR HEAD

Text: Psalm 3:2-3
[2] Many are saying of me, There is no help for him in God. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
[3] But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

Child of God, many are the times that, you might have prayed for a breakthrough and it seems not to be coming through.
You might have become a laughing stock in your neighborhood, to the extent that, when you are praying or even going to church, people ask "why are you wasting your time".

Beloved, you are not alone. King David also found himself in such a terrible situation that got people mocking him to the extent that, people could say to him "There is no help for him in God"
...*Mercy Lord.

But in the midst of these mockery, in verse 3, King David declared, "But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head".

Today, I came to declare to you that no matter how much people are mocking you for your troubles and answered prayers, keep on keeping on, for your GOD is about to show His GLORY upon your life and your GOD is about to LIFT UP your head.

I see your head being lifted up!
Somebody shout GLORY!

Child of God, this week, declare to yourself:
The Lord is a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head
1. Stay with God
2. Continue praying
3. Continue going to church
4. The Lord shall lift up your head

Shalom!

Title: RECEIVE HELP FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

Text: John 14:25
"These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you."

Devotional
As Jesus prepared to leave His disciples, He knew they would need guidance and comfort. So, He promised to send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to be with them forever.

Child of God, The Holy Spirit is not just a distant figure; He is your ever-present Helper who lives within you.
He is there to help and teach you all things, reminding you of Jesus' words and guiding you in your daily living.

Do you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or alone? Remember that the Helper is here. He is always with you, ready to teach, guide, comfort and bless you.

This week, Receive the help of the helper; the Holy Spirit in everything you do.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to be my Helper. Holy Spirit, I need Your help, guidance and comfort in my life.
Holy Spirit, help me to depend on your presence and power within me. Bless me and make my life beautiful in Jesus' name, Amen.

⛅✨ HAPPY NEW MONTH ✨⛅
💖 FEBRUARY - OUR MONTH OF DIVINE LOVE 💖

KNOW & ENJOY GOD'S LOVE

Text: Romans 5:8
[8] But God shows and clearly proves His own love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Reflection
Child of God, have you ever felt or some Christians made you feel like you're not good enough or that you've made too many mistakes?
Maybe you've felt like God couldn't possibly love someone like you.

I came to tell you today that, GOD LOVES YOU.

God's Love for you is based on:
1. God's Mercy
- God's love for you isn't based on your performance or your worthiness.
2. God's Grace
- God's love is not something we can earn or deserve.

In this month of Love, Enjoy DIVINE LOVE.
Know, and believe that God loves you.
Walk in God's Mercy and Grace, and you shall receive God's forgiveness, healing, and restoration.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for showing Your love for me through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Help me to understand and receive Your unconditional love, and may it transform my life and my relationships. May I be exceedingly blessed under your divine love in Jesus' name, Amen.

THE BLESSING OF CONTENTMENT

Text: 1 Timothy 6:6
"But godliness with contentment is great gain."

Reflection
Child of God, you must learn to be content with what God has blessed you with.
The world now is full of people who cherish and respect only those who have more in everything. Therefore, if you pay attention to people, you would always be ungrateful and unappreciative to God for what He has given you.

But today's scripture is reminding us that, if we appreciate God for the "little" He has given us, then He shall give us more.

You can practice contentment by:
1. Focusing on what you have, not what you don't have.
- Take time to reflect on the blessings in your life, no matter how small they may seem.
2. Not always comparing yourself to others.
- Learn not to overly compare yourself to others.
3. Practicing gratitude.
- Express thanks for the people, experiences, and things in your life.
4. Seeking God's presence.
- Spend time in prayer, worship, and meditation, seeking to cultivate a deeper sense of contentment in God's presence.

The more you appreciate God for the "little" blessings, the more Blessings He shall give you.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to cultivate a spirit of contentment in my life. May I learn to be satisfied with what I have, rather than constantly focusing on what someone has more than me.
Please open the windows of heaven and bless me in Jesus name.

Action Step
Take a few minutes today to reflect on the things you are thankful for.

Shalom!
