Encounter


It is well,
This is the season of harvest in the winners camp,we saw in the book of John 1 that we went through yesterday from verse 40 -51 ,how two of John the baptist disciples brought many other to the Christ after they have found Him,which we are expected to do right now inviting others to the gospel of our Lord.

40Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). 42And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peterj]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[j]).
In this part we saw Andrew the brother of Peter bringing him to Christ as we are meet to do but if we read attentively we will see that Christ did not have a word with Andrew but immediately He saw Peter his name was change was changed from Simon and again Christ told Philip to follow Him. Nathanael was invited also and he has encounter with destiny because Christ told him that,he is good Israelite and he will see heaven open and Angels of God ,what an encounter of ab life time.
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."
44Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 45Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked.
"Come and see," said Philip.
47When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."
48"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you."
49Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." 50Jesus said, "You believek]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[k]because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that." 51He then added, "I tell youl]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[l] the truth, youm]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[m]shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
God said it is not he that willeth or runneth but He that can show mercy ,His mercy was showed in the life of Peter which He later built His Church upon and Nathanael.God is too much and His ready to manifest Himself in our life by giving us our own encounter with destiny that will turn all our situation around.
As you go out this day ask God to locate you among others for a definite encounter in Jesus precious name.
