There has to be a part of you hungering, for God to draw near to you. He says, Draw near to me and I will draw near to you.
1 Hunger creates a *boundary* and a space for God to invade your life.
2 Your hunger for an encounter with God must be *greater* than the current desires that possesses your heart.
3 Find out what draws you to the heart of God and *increase* that significantly in your life.
Hunger, Hunger, and Hunger. For God will always draws near to a HUNGER to fill it.

Do you know that you can be anointed without being fully aware of it? As your awareness grows, it might feel as if the anointing is increasing, but in reality, it's your understanding that's deepening.
Think of it like a soldier using a gun—he knows it can cause harm, even though he hasn't experienced that harm himself. So, why do you need to feel the anointing to believe it's working? The anointing is present, but it's not meant for you to feel; it's meant to impact your situation.
Be assured that God has anointed you—not with oil, but with the Holy Spirit! From today, move forward with confidence. Do exploits without hesitation!

The Greatest Technology God has given us is HIS WORD.
John 5:1-14 Rise take up your mat and walk.
The man at Bethesda had an infirmity that kept him WAITING for 38 years for his healing as he needed someone to put him in the water when it was stirred.
Vs6. Yet the Bible says, the Word located him at the pool and asked him do you want to be made well?
It was not the season for his miracle as there was no stirring of water by the angel. Yet here comes the WORD and ask him if he wants to be made well.
Some quick gems 💎 we can glean from this story.
1 It may not look like your season for a healing or breakthrough, but the WORD is here calling you out asking you do you want that breakthrough?
2 Don’t go by the seasons you are in because SEASONS are changed by the WORD. When the word comes the season changes. This man acted on the word and rose and walked out a 38 years infirmity. Don’t wait for a stirring, You can Stir the WORD and speak it and walk out of that mind battle, confusion, fear, and lack. GODS WORD BACKS YOU (Isa 54: 17)
3 The devil is an ART DIRECTOR, he will stir up the waves, shake your boat, make the sky dark bring thunder and lightning, make close people around speak fear into you and even make water enter your boat to capsize it. All this he does to make you feel like you’re gonna die so you can speak and release WORDS that will be a self fulfilling prophecy over your life. Even he knows the WORD works so he is after you to use the technology that God gave you to win wars against you.
4 But Jesus in that same boat spoke different WORDS and calmed the sea, the waves and the raging storm. Child of God there is a Greater more superior Word God has given us that we must not stop speaking over our life. HIS WORD never fails!!!
Start by 👊
1 Refusing to speak words that do not conform to the word of God
2 Don’t wait a single moment more for healing or breakthrough. Open your mouth and declare the WORD of healing, breakthrough, success and prosperity (John 6:63)
3 Rise and walk pick your bed of affliction the WORD will strengthen you.
Shalom
The WORD has located you!

When Worship Changes - Encounters Begin
It’s Christmas time and most people around the world are singing songs of worship to King Jesus without having any understanding of what it is to Worship a King.
The word says, in Matt 2:11 “And when they (wise men from the east) had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother and “FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPPED HIM”. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented their gifts to Him; gold frankincense and myrrh”.
Most people think Worship is about singing and praising God at church.
But the Magi give us a new insight into their great desire to see a King which ultimately ended in them worshipping King Jesus.
I believe we will see a great difference in our life’s if we understand the importance of Worship and what it can do for us, if done with the right SPIRIT and anticipation to meet the KING. Let’s glean some important principles from this real life story of the the first people worshipped King Jesus.
WORSHIP ENCOUNTERS! - Point 1 &2
1. Wise men always stay alert to the signs of an encounter
⁃ It’s a shame that no-one from Israel had a clue that their King was getting ready to be birthed, but it were the Magi who knew with pin point accuracy the timing of this event of galactic proportions. These men were a group of people who carefully studied the scriptures, prophecies, seasons and the skies for extraordinary events. It was only them who caught the STAR which led them to Jesus.
May you be that wise and diligent student of the word so that you do not miss your season, calling or encounter with the King. It is only these ones who are prepared i.e., ones who are seeking, knocking and asking, that a star will be provided to lead them to an encounter with the KING.
2. Preparation prepares the way for encounters
⁃ These wise men not only studied prophecy (The Word), they made great sacrifices to ensure they met with the King. Their joy and gladness to meet the King made them prepare for it meticulously with the highest attention to detail.
Most people come to church just like every other Sunday and that’s why they leave the same way they came. But not these wise men! Once they caught sight of the star they never took their eyes of it, they prepared for the journey (food, clothing and supplies), kept their gifts and offerings ready, took a perilous journey through the night all with one motive to see this KING and be a part of the prophecy being fulfilled.
The sacrifices you make and the anticipation (Faith) you carry (when you go to church) creates the environment for an encounter with the King which always results in ‘True overflowing WORSHIP’.
Even, the shepherds (Matt 2:8-20) whom the angels appeared to and gave glad tidings that their saviour and king was born, who also saw a host of angels, came with a haste and saw Jesus in the manger and left without worshipping him (vs 16). The ones who have sacrificed and paid a cost will most likely be found at the foot of the cross the rest will be seen far away worshipping from a distance.

Worship Encounters - Points 3
#3. Worship is a result of Intentional Preparation!
- Most would agree, when it comes to worship, everyone is excited to come, but for prayer you would only get a handful of people! Yet, those who come excited to worship are the very ones who struggle to have an encounter with the King!
- Could it be that, true worship (Not just singing songs) is always the result of intentional preparation to meet THE KING. If the Magi who were ‘Not‘ born again and spirit filled, knew the significance of preparation to meet this King, how much more should you and I understand this since we know that JESUS is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
- We see in verse Matt 2:11… they fell and worshipped Jesus. That was a result of their preparation that caused them to overflow into the encounter of worship. The reason many don’t have any encounters during worship, is because their preparation to meet the king is truly lacking in every aspect.
- Most of us would prepare diligently to take a flight or go for a movie on time. yet when it comes to the Lord’s house, there is little or no attention paid. I truly believe that if you are jumping and shouting for Jesus at church there has to be a life of preparation (i.e., study of the word, devotion, revelation, giving and sacrifices) that should back your worship on a Sunday. Or else it will just be honour with the lips and our hearts will be far from Jesus (Isaiah 29:13).
- Because of their preparation, these Magi were the first ones who were escorted by a STAR to present GIFTS to the KING OF THE UNIVERSE. They actually ‘Gave to God’ without a single miracle or blessing being given to them. That’s revelation! which always leads to worship. Where there is ‘No revelation’ of the WORD there can be no true worshipper! In other words, ‘True Worship’ can only exist where there is a daily revelation of Gods word in the heart of the worshipper. Else, worship will only be singing of songs and clapping of hands.
