DIVINE VISITATION

“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God”.
Exodus 3:1-6

Divine visitation is the visitation from above when God brings us into a practical encounter with His presence and power. God visited Moses through the burning bush on behalf of the Israelites for a reason. He visited His people in Egypt to deliver them from bondage after 400 years. The Egyptians oppression and captivity became grievous, the cries, tears, and groaning of Israelites provoked the visitation of God (Ex. 2:23-24). When the land and her people are sick with infirmities and affliction, then the stage is set for Divine visitation (Ex. 3:7).

When God visits, the past promises and prophecies are turned into a reality, then every form of frustration and stagnation in the life of a man get an answer, as the results culminate in supernatural manifestation.

For emphasis, when the divinity decides to visit a man, it usually results to i) supernatural manifestation that produces impossible miracles, signs and wonders (Isaiah 64:1), ii) restoration (Jeremiah 27:22; 29:10), iii) Fruitfulness (1 Samuel 1:21), iv) Deliverance (Daniel 3:14-15) Healing John 5:1-9) and v) Salvation (Psalm 106:4).

Everyone requires a Divine Visitation which is a prerogative of God’s Grace and Mercy, but individuals can also provoke it in so many ways. For instance, Paul and Silas (Acts 16: 25-26) provoked divine visitation through midnight prayers and praises unto God. The prisoners heard them and suddenly there were great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison were shaken and immediately all doors were opened and everyone’s bands were loosed. Daniel attracted Angelic Visitation through Prayer and Fasting. In the book of Daniel 10:1-12, God responded faster when Daniel added fasting to his prayers. The book of Hebrew 12:14 emphasizes Walking in Holiness and Purity by admonishing every child of God to follow peace with all men to facilitate a Divine Visitation. Elijah in the book of 1 King 18:14 also provided a good clue to provoke Divine Visitation. He exercised a violent kind of faith, he told Ahab that there is going to be rain in abundance when there was no sign of rainfall. A man of faith sees beyond the ordinary, he sees with eye of the supernatural, he sees possibility in the midst of impossibilities
