Genesis 32v24, 26-28, 30 ‘V24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. V26-And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. V27-And he said unto him, what is thy name? And he said, Jacob. V28-And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. V30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.’
Are you ready for a change of story encounter? Do you want your story to change for the better? I believe that your answer is a definite yes! However, it’s important for us to know the avenues by which a change of stories encounters happens! So what are the avenues that God uses to bring about a change of story encounter in our lives? For the purpose of this teaching, I would like us to consider 3 of such avenues. So let’s examine some of them today.
1. God. Our Heavenly Father is one of the major source of change of stories encounters! He is usually the one behind it as you can see from the encounter of Jacob with the Lord in our text scripture (Gen32v24, 26-28, 30).This is also true in others change of stories encounters that we see in the scriptures (Abraham -Gen18 & Apostle Paul -Acts9v1-7) So precious Child of God, you need to seek after God if you will experience a change of story encounter! And one thing is sure and certain, no one who truly encounters God remains the same again! I pray that this will also be your testimony in Jesus name, amen.
2. God sent Men and Women. God also uses the gift of men in bringing about a change of story encounter for his people. This is why you need to pay attention to the people that God has sent into your life. I have noticed that there are some specially ordained people that God often uses to bring about a change of story encounter. There are several examples in the scriptures but I want you to consider the following examples:
-Hannah and Prophet Eli. 1Sam1v12, 17
-Naomi and Ruth. Rut1v16-18
-Jesus and his Apostles. Matt4v19; Acts 4v13
My dear reader, you need to be sensitive in your spirit so as to know the people he has positioned in your life for such an encounter! I pray that God will give you discerning eyes to see and also ears to hear too. One thing is sure and certain, your change of story encounter will not elude you as you walk God in Jesus name, amen.
Other Scriptural References: Jer1v6-9; Isa6v1-8; Jer29v13; 1Sam10v1-7.
Prayer for Today: Lord, I receive grace to be a doer of these truths in Jesus name, amen.
CONFESSION: Lord, You are the source of change of stories encounters! Help me lord, not to miss out on my God moment and those who you have strategically placed in my life for a change of story encounter in Jesus name, amen.
