Topic :Life Changing Encounter With Jesus.

Memory Verse : Luke 19:8. Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.”

Bible Reading :Luke 19::5-7 GNB. Key Verse: v7.

When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today.” Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed him with great joy. All the people who saw it started grumbling, “This man has gone as a guest to the home of a sinner!”

Zachaeus was a rich and very corrupt tax collector. He used his position as a chief revenue officer to enrich himself by taking advantage of the weak. But this encounter he had with Jesus Christ changed everything about him. His desperation to see Jesus made him climb the sycomore tree as to catch a glimpse of the most popular man on earth. “He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was a little man and could not see Jesus because of the crowd. So he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycomore tree to see Jesus, who was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today.”” Luke 19:3-5..

This singular encounter Zachaeus had with Jesus changed his life for good. He repented of his oppressive and extortional lifestyle and decided to make restitution without being compelled by any man. The conviction of the Spirit of God was so strong on him that he had to make very important decisions that effected the rest of his life. “All the people who saw it started grumbling, “This man has gone as a guest to the home of a sinner!” Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.” Jesus said to him, “Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a descendant of Abraham.” Luke 19:7-9..

Today, the Spirit of God is not happy with men who fill our churches as spectators. This set of people join the church of Jesus Christ for one reason or another and fulfil laid down requirements for membership. Some of them become workers and leaders among us, without their lives being changed. Such people are known in the local church, but not in heaven. They don’t have a relationship with Jesus, who died to save their souls from eternal destruction. If such men should die in their present condition, they will go from church to hell against God’s will. Today, we are to have a second look at our walk with the Lord. Do we really know him? Have we really had a life transforming encounter with him? Are we growing in our knowledge of him? Are we really being transformed by his word and Spirit? Do we have a prayer life as believers? These are things that must happen or continue to happen in the life of any man who encounters Jesus Christ genuinely.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for coming to the earth to save my soul. From today, reveal yourself to me. Plant a hunger for your presence in me that will birth life changing encounters. Transform me till I become a transformational agent in Jesus wonderful name…… Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : 2 Samuel 18:1-18.
