RECEIVING A FRESH REVELATION

In Joshua 5, Joshua was on the brink of attacking the fortified city of Jericho when he encountered a divine messenger on the road with sword in hand. In that moment, Joshua did not know if the divine messenger was on his side or if he was the enemy. When the messenger announced that he was the commander of the Lord’s army, Joshua immediately recognised that he was sent by God and fell face down on the ground in worship and reverence. 

Receiving a breakthrough begins with a fresh revelation of who God is. In the midst of a difficult situation, God desires to reveal Himself in strength. If you are believing for financial provision, God desires to reveal Himself as Your provider. If you are believing for healing, God wants to show Himself as Your healer. When we receive a revelation of who God is to us, we receive the assurance that He knows and understands all that we’re going through. How does God reveal Himself to us? One way that He does so is through the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians 1:17 Paul describes the Holy Spirit as a Spirit of wisdom that helps us grow in our knowledge of God. When we ask the Holy Spirit, He gives us a fresh revelation of who God is in our lives.

Don’t just seek God only when you need Him. In all you do, begin by first asking the Holy Spirit to give you a fresh revelation of who God is. Desire to know Him more personally and intimately. Purpose in your heart to first seek God first before taking any step ahead and hear Him tell you what He wants you to do.

Reflect:

• God’s word reveals who He is. Cultivate the habit of reading and meditating on God’s word daily and allow God to reveal His character and attributes to you.
• Is there a situation or challenge that you are facing now? Encourage and strengthen your faith in God by asking Him for a fresh revelation of who He is!

Prayer:

Dear God, I know that You are active and present in my life and that You desire to reveal Yourself to me through the Holy Spirit. Give me a fresh revelation of who You are in my life and give me the courage to take a step of faith in obedience to anything You say to me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
