As I was seeking the Lord for His words for this coming month, even in the coming months, the Lord said this, "Tell My people to get ready for many divine appointments! There'll be many divine appointments for My people! This is the season for many divine appointments!"
Hallelujah!
So, people of God, receive these words by faith! And you are going to see your divine appointments as well! Be it in your career, business, ministry, or any area of your life! Even in new friendships that are going to be forged, that will bring great blessings to your life! But of course, be discerning! I pray for you to discern in your spirit, that you will know what is of God, and what is not!
Now, you don't have to look too far back to the Old Testament to see examples of divine appointments. After the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2, there're so many examples of divine appointments happening even in the first few chapters of the Book of Acts! Whether someone was being led by the Holy Spirit to be at the right place and the right time for such divine appointments, or through angelic guidance, or visions and dreams, divine appointments that are set up by the Lord will always lead to breakthroughs and greater things in one's life!
Examples of divine appointments:
1. Peter and Cornelius (Acts 10:1-48)
Here, a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion (an officer of the Roman army), had an angelic visitation. The angel then instructed him to summon Simon Peter to his house and to hear what Simon Peter had to say. The next day, the day after Cornelius received the angelic guidance, Simon Peter saw a vision while he was praying at a housetop in Joppa! Now, while he was wondering what this vision meant, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, three of them, stood before the gate where Simon Peter was lodging! See? A divine appointment was set up by the Lord! So Simon Peter and Cornelius would meet up! You know what? That meeting eventually became the first occasion in the early church when a Gentile (non-Jew) household have also received the gift of salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ and baptism of the Holy Spirit!
2. Peter and Aeneas (Acts 9:32-35)
Let's rewind back to Acts chapter 9 now, just before the divine appointment that God had set up for Simon Peter and Cornelius. Here, there was no angelic guidance or vision from the Lord, but it was just Simon Peter positioning himself at a certain place and a certain time! See, divine appointments can also happen when you position yourself at a certain place and a certain time, as led by the Holy Spirit! And that was how Aeneas, who had been bed-ridden eight years and was paralyzed, got his miracle and he was able to stand up again! Because of this healing and miracle that took place, many in Lydda turned to the Lord!
3. Peter and Dorcas (Acts 9:36-43)
After that, some disciples in Joppa heard that Peter was in a nearby town, Lydda. And they implored Simon Peter to come over to Joppa, because there was a certain woman, a disciple named Tabitha (Dorcas), a woman full of good works and charitable deeds, had died due to sickness. Simon Peter then arose and went over to Joppa to pray for Dorcas. Dorcas then came back to life, and this news became known throughout all Joppa! As a result, many in Joppa believed on the Lord Jesus Christ! See? All these wouldn't have happened if Simon Peter did not position himself in the first place!
These are just three examples of divine appointments that you can see throughout the Book of Acts! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever! He is the same today, just as He was those days in the early church! And the Lord knows how to set up divine appointments for you too! Amen!
