Meeting The Real August Visitors

Its a new day and a new week again and we'll still be talking about the Real August visitors, As earlier mentioned in the first article. "They are special people which their identity will remain encoded to some people because its not everyone who can sense their identity or presence". And "until we understand that though they may come, knock, call out to us to allow them in, Unless we welcome them in, they won't come in unwelcome". In this episode, i want us to know that its not every time that they will come knocking on our door like Elijah did with the widow of Zarephath in 1kings 17 vs 8-9, because he was her Real August visitor. To meet some of them, we have to go out of our way to meet, intercept, call and even beg them to come to our house because their mission may not be to our doorsteps yet but our blessings, Happiness, Joy, freedom, Redemption, Greatness, Success, Promotion, Marital bliss, Peace, Favour and Splendor that we will begin to reap bountifully from lies with them in the package they are conveying. But how do we know when they are going to come or where they are going and their route of journey? The bible says. "Later, the Lord again appeared to Abraham near the oak trees of Mamre. It was the hottest part of the day, and Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent. He looked up and saw three men standing in front of him. When he saw the men, he ran to them and bowed before them". Genesis 18:1‭-‬2 ERV http://bible.com/406/gen.18.1-2.ERV . The bible also says. "That evening the two angels came to the city of Sodom. Lot was sitting near the city gates and saw them. He got up and went to them. He bowed to show respect" Genesis 19:1‭ ERV http://bible.com/406/gen.19.1-2.ERV In the first text we can see Abraham sitting at the doors to his tenth and not inside his tenth even though it was a very hot afternoon, he did not decide to stay in the comfort of his tenth. And we can also see Lot in the second text also sitting very close to the city gate and not sitting within the city even though the city was filled with what some people call enjoyment unknown to them that is vanity and ruins. In this two text, God is telling us that the only way we can be able to meet with our August visitor is to leave our comfort zone, our past sinful life, nature, habits, tradition, beliefs, customs, to leave them behind and move outside to the fore front, outside our tenth even at that time when the sun is hot, to leave that life of Sin in our city today to go far away and stay close to the city gate where immorality abideth not. Abraham had been meeting with God many times and even on that day, but he still had to leave the comfort of his tenth to stay outside to meet his august Visitors so that they won't pass him by. Lot too had to leave the life of sin his town was known and associated with so as to be distinguished by the August visitors because had he been within the city when they came, he may have been entangled in one form of sin or another before they arrived and would not have had any form of justification before them. My beloved readers, even if we are sensitive enough to the presence and identity of the Real August visitors, if we are not at the right place, we may still miss their visit, where we ought to be matters a lot. Where is this right place that we ought to be? It is the place of prayer, Praise, worship, a place where we take our stand for Christ, a place where we make the difference clearly known between we and sinners, a place where we disseminate the word of God to them which are in dire need of it, our duty post where we diligently keep watch for the second coming of Christ, a place where we refuel our lamps before the bridegroom arrives. This place must not necessarily be a four walled place called church, its in our home, office, market square, schools, campus, hostel, streets, towns, peer groups etc. Let's take a stand today at the right place where we can be able to see and recognize our Real August visitors. I pray God gives us the insight to decode the encoded message he wants for us in this article.. Have a blessed week and remember that this august won't go by without we receiving a visit from The Real August Visitors. Don't forget to shàre with your family, friends and colleagues at work. Thanks for taking time out to read this article.
