The Encounters Of Jacob
Scripture.
Genesis 28:15 KJV
"And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of".
Message:
Jacob had a series of encounters and he yielded to those encounters and played his part. God helped him to emerge into His prophetic agenda for his life. Gods plan was to bless him and to move him from one man into a nation. I want you to know that there is a part for you to play in destiny, and until you play your part, you may never see the full manifestation of Gods promise. I want us to see this morning something that I will call "a catalogue of Jacobs encounters". Never trivialise divine encounters, document them properly and pray about them.
We will look at a few key encounters that Jacob had with God. The first encounter was from the womb, it was something God told his mother. Gen. 25:23 (KJV) says, "And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger". Once you know what God is saying, take responsibility first in prayer, and as you stay in prayer, God will be showing you the steps to take.
Jacob had a second major one in Gen. 28:13-14 (KJV) "And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed". Never joke with the instructions that comes with your encounters with God.
In Genesis 31:3 (KJV), God said to Jacob, "And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee". At major junctions of Jacobs life, he heard God. God gave him major encounters that were like destiny pillars to him. I want you to know that, it is impossible to forget encounters, that is one of the things God uses to see people through during tough season on their way to destiny. Check the stories of kingdom giants, they had major encounters that has kept them moving on their journey.
Anytime you think of giving up and you remember the voice of God, it gives you fresh energy and courage to keep moving. Jacobs wealth emerged through encounters, Gen. 31:11-12 (KJV) says, "And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee". In this season, you will not miss the encounters relevant to your destiny in Jesus name.
