AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD
Exodus 3:2-6
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
The scripture recorded that as Moses was keeping the flock of his father inlaw, Jethro, as he got to Mt. Horeb he noticed the fire burning but the bush not consumed. God orchestrates things to catch our attention, whenever we see things as christians that are rare and naturally not possible, we ought to enquire from God.
When Moses saw the burning bush he said to himself "i will stop and ask myself why this is". It takes a good and devoted christian to see the unusual and inquire from God. Most time, God awaits us to respond beforr He proceeds, when He called Samuel, the first two times He didnt proceed not until when samuel responded, then God proceeded to speak with Him.
The place of encounter does not just talk about Salvation experience, though it is vital, that you are born again does not mean that you have discovered the Hope of your calling. Encounter talks more specifically on understanding God's purpose in your life, undedstanding the place of God in your life.
Most time we ask ourselves some questio s that limits our progress, such as " Who am i to do this?, Can i really do this? We ask these questions because we are yet to understand how God sees us and our place in Him.

A personal encounter with God reveals His purpose in us. When you encounter God, things begin to turn around for good, you begin to experience divine favour, divine breakthrough, supernatural blessings, infact you start being a blessing to others, an encouter with God makes your life outstanding and unique, you begin to grow in wisdom and in possession.
An encounter with God gives our life direction and defines our purpose.
An encounter with God makes you start thinking beyond the reasoning of men, you begin to understand the principles of living in Christ. In short, an encounter with God makes life easier than ever before, because he begins to reveal things beyond human imagination to us.

We do not need to focus on how big our problem is, all we need to know and understand is how Great our God is, because He is and forever be bigger than every of our problems.
God does not choose because of our capacity, He sees the end from the beginning, He chooses based on the future. When Christ was choosing the disciples, He could see the capacity theu had, no wonder He told Peter who was a fisherman that He shall make Him fishers of men.
Encounter God today and begin to experience a turn around in all of your endeavours, be it academically, financially, maritally, physically e.t.c. God is always willing to meet with you at every point you seek Him, Dont waste time, the earlier the Better.
Stayblessed.

Our lives should be focussed on how to please God and not humans , an encounter with the savour is the best thing that we should aways pray for every time if our lives .
Righteousness is the key to everything we need.
Those who have put their whole heart and trust in the hand of God will never be lost in all they do and they will always be provided with all their needs.
Working towards faith is all we should be doing all the time .
Humility and faith through christ can bring us closer to God .
When you accept christ in your life you have already made a decision of being with him and working for him through your believe
its tells us what the lord will definiatelly do for you , the lord has made a clear way and prepare the perfect way for us .
God gave you his word in the bible , he gave you everything you need as christain to be protected and guilded do not be desieved by anybody.
The church we attend sometimes we always be a part of distruction to all of those who practice the culture of a particular church which is sometimes away from what the bible teaches.
God loves you in all you do

You cannot have an encounter with God and remain the same there is this wonderful transformation that is experienced from that encounter.
Most encounters or all permit to say with persons in the scripture did not leave them same way, when you have an encounter with the king of you community,you are likely to receive many blessings both cash or kind diverse gifts of all sorts.How much more God who is the king of kings will definitely shower us both spiritual and physical gift if we just encounter him.
An encounter with God reveals His purpose for our lives by his spirit the vision is made known and written by his strength we carry out the vision which is an act of mission.
Thanks for sharing this with us, I strongly support you on this "The place of encounter does not just talk about Salvation experience, though it is vital, that you are born again does not mean that you have discovered the Hope of your calling. Encounter talks more specifically on understanding God's purpose in your life, undedstanding the place of God in your life."
A place of encounter definitely means different things to many people but.The place of encounter does not just talk about Salvation experience, though it is vital, that you are born again does not mean that you have discovered the Hope of your calling.
When you really become aware, the event is already over, going away faster than you can deal with, and you are already trying to hold on to it or figure out what happened.
The most important thing to ask is, “Was this the God of the universe, or was it some other kind of encounter.

You've succeeded in telling us what finding purpose in God entails. Thanks
An encounter with God is something anyone that has experienced will never recover from, it can happen in various ways.Our prayer should be 'O God I Ask for a Divine Encounter With You That Me and My Generation Will Not Recover From For the Good'
Max transformations has occurred, truely our God live for evermore

I strongly suppport you on this. Sometimes, we always think about our present status quo by underestimating our abilities. But hey! The good news is that it is different with with God. (He does not choose because of our capacity).
SHALOM!
if we encounter him he will also show us great things
Most encounters or all permit to say with persons in the scripture did not leave them same way, when you have an encounter with the king of you community,
Somewhere within each of us there is a deep desire to experience an encounter with God. A real encounter with God should produce more than just emotion it should result in change. You can not encounter God and remain the same.
A Real Encounter With God Leads To Real Change
No matter how far you feel from God, He is always right there with you waiting for you to take that one step back towards Him. An encounter is great, but a relationship is what Jesus desires from His children.
I have always believed that a Christian is transformed when he has a real encounter with God. I look at the life of Saul and after that encounter he was converted into a great apostle. And so, many examples. Blessings good message
Our body is the dwelling place of God and the holy spirit connects us directly with him, we only have to realize what the heart really dictates, being good and with joy in the soul, a good friend article.
Ya.. I believe here @steemchurch is a place of Great Encounter..
Because you get to meet with Great people and above all, Know about the word of God😇😇
The thing about an encounter with God, or with someone speaking powerfully for God, or with something that seems to come directly from God, is that it is what it is. It displaces other thought. It takes the place of whatever was in your mind beforehand, and then it is what is there afterward. It may answer the question you have been asking, or it may raise a question. It may appear to relate directly to what is going on, or it may seem unrelated – that is, it may affirm the subject or it may change the subject.
When you really become aware, the event is already over, going away faster than you can deal with, and you are already trying to hold on to it or figure out what happened.
The most important thing to ask is, “Was this the God of the universe, or was it some other kind of encounter?”
God is indeed marvelous,he says in the bible that the thoughts he has towards us are of good,not of evil,to bring us an expected end,so God has it all planned out ,its just for us to align ourselves with his will and follow according to his plan,that's the encounter.
