Have you been working night and day by your own power, without any positive result? Have you been depending on your university degree thinking that it is what will give you all you need? Hear this: Just one encounter with God is much more than a lifetime of struggles and efforts. Every day is God’s day; the day you believe is your day. God has more than enough resources to meet all the desires of every living being (Psalm 145:15-16).

God has concluded a definite plan of divine visitation for you. Let us see some examples of those who enjoyed divine visitation: God visited Abraham: God visited Abraham and turned him into a trans-generational blessing (Genesis 12:1-3). God visited him again in Genesis 15,17 and 22. Abraham ended his journey blessed in everything (Genesis 24:1).

God visited Isaac: God visited Isaac (Genesis 26:1-14). That visitation turned him to the envy of the civilized world.

God visited Jacob: God visited Jacob and turned him into a global celebrity (Genesis 32:24-28).

How to recognize divine visitation: Divine visitation can be recognized with His train filling the temple (Isaiah 6:1-4). Everything in the Word of God is the truth about everything He talks about. Divine visitation is the Biblical order in Zion. God is committed to be present in the midst of His people (Hebrews 12:22-24).

The proof of His visitation: Salvation of Souls: When He is in the midst of people, He saves (Zephaniah 3:17). So, wherever Jesus saves, it’s a proof of His visitation (John 6:44).

Deliverance: Wherever God is, you find deliverance there (Obadiah 17).

How to maximize the miracle power of divine visitation: By violent faith: Violent faith is one of the ways to maximize the power of divine visitation. When the woman with the issue of blood heard that Jesus was passing by, she said within herself, “No matter what it takes, no matter how many strong men are around Him, I must touch the helm of His garment” (Matthew 9:20-21). That is violent faith! She touched it, and her violent faith made her whole!

By Word encounter: Something drops from God and then He turns everything inside you around. Every divine visitation is accompanied by diverse revelations. It is these revelations that spark off a revolution in your life (I Samuel 3:21; Gen 12:1-3). Every genuine word-encounter puts you on top of life’s situations (John 1:1-5).

By violent prayer: Everything about our inheritance in the New Testament requires the engagement of spiritual violence (Matthew 11:12). Violent prayer is a covenant requirement for maximizing the blessings of divine visitation.

By loving God: God manifests Himself to His individual lovers (John 14:21). Every true lover enjoys divine visitation naturally.

Faith In His prophets: Prophets are channels of divine visitation to every generation. “For there were many widows in Israel.  Unto none was Elias sent but unto a woman of Sarepta, who was a widow” (Luke 4:25-27). When God sends a man on a mission, He works with him, He works in him and anoints him to deliver.

Being in the sanctuary: Being in God’s sanctuary compels His regular visitations among his people (Psalm 132:13-15). It is one of the vital physical platforms for divine visitation (Psalm 84:7).

By violent praise: Paul and Silas prayed, sang praises, the prisoners heard them and God stepped in (Acts 16:25). Violent praise is a platform for visitation.

By violent sacrifice: Sacrifice is one of the ways we maximize the miracle power of divine visitation (Psalm 50:5). It is the sacrifice that touches you in value.
