The "Suddenlies" Of God

 Acts 2:1-4

Our God is a God of 'suddenlies' who can work sudden signs, wonders, and miracles in our lives.

The day of Pentecost, which some believe and would debate was the birth of the church, was a sudden moment,

"Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind"

A remarkable occurrence took place before the conception and birth of John the Baptist.

Suddenly, angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah the husband of Elizabeth and subsequent father of John the Baptist as he served in God's presence by burning incense in the Lord's temple.

Luke 1:8-20

Anyone who is doing God's will can receive a 'suddenly' miracle from God.

Anyone serving God faithfully despite the odds can have a life changing and sudden encounter like Zechariah the priest had.

What had been impossible in Zechariah the priest and his wife Elizabeth's life, suddenly became possible because of a sudden angelic encounter God granted him.

Cornelius was a generous man who gave to the poor and had a prayer life.

Cornelius prayers and giving had come up as a memorial before God.

God rewarded him with a sudden encounter- an angelic visitation, which led to his salvation and his household's salvation.

Acts 10:1-48

The 'suddenlies' of God are the wonderful acts, signs, wonders, and miracles of God that happen at a time or moment people did not envisage.

Many of the miracles of Jesus were 'suddenlies' in the lives of those who were beneficiaries.

These individuals woke up like they do every morning from their night's sleep with their ailments, diseases, mental issues, demon possession, fears, and unhappiness without realizing a contact with Jesus just ahead of them with will make their day special.

Suddenly the blind could see, the lame could walk, the demon possessed were set free, health issues were resolved, the impossible happened.

Gideon was always hiding from his nations enemies as he had become accustomed to doing daily, this was his survival strategy.

On a certain day, something sudden and different happened, he received an angelic visitor who changed the narrative of Gideon's life positively.

Judges 6:11-23

Moses went about his duty shepherding his father in-law's sheep as he had been doing for almost 40 years, but within the time period of a day, a lot changed. He had a sudden encounter.

Exodus 3:1-22

The suddenly of God will bring your long-awaited change.

The suddenly of God will cause a positive transformation in your life.

The most important 'suddenly' from God is the second coming of Jesus.

We should all be prepared for it by ensuring we are followers of Jesus Christ by being truly saved.

It will come as a thief in the night.

Matthew 24:42-44

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
