4 Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, – Psalm 65:4 (NKJV)
- There are people whom God chooses to come near Him!
- But a mistake we make is by limiting ourselves by looking at this from an O.T view,
- The New Testament Jesus tore the VEIL so that we ALL CAN BE BROUGHT NEAR TO GOD BY HIS BLOOD!
“THIS IS A YEAR THAT GOD CHOOSES YOU TO BE BROUGHT NEAR!”
WHY DO WE NAME A YEAR AND WHAT IS IN A YEAR!
When I say that I name a year is the same as to say that I crown the year:
11 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness,And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing. – Psalm 65:11–13 (NKJV)
11 You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your [chariot wheels] drip with fatness. 12 The [luxuriant] pastures in the uncultivated country drip [with moisture], and the hills gird themselves with joy. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing together. – Psalm 65:11–13 (AMP)
- So to CROWN a year is to NAME it!
- It’s to give it an IDENTITY!
- Divine call and purpose is locked up in a name. We find this true throughout scripture… 1Timothy 1:18 (KJV)
- That Name or crowing therefore is a declaration!
28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways. 29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’ Then He will save(lift) the humble person. 30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”- Job 22:28–30 (NKJV)
29 When they make [you] low, you will say, [There is] a lifting up; and the humble person He lifts up and saves. – Job 22:29 (AMP)
LISTEN TO THE ABOVE:
- When you “declare a thing” it shall BE!
- Then also LIGHT SHALL SHINE ON YOU and ON YOUR PATH!
“This means you will know where to GO and WHAT DECISIONS TO MAKE! Hey – Your Word is a Light unto my Path!”
- When you are CASTED DOWN, then you DECLARE THERE IS A LIFTING AND EXALTATION & GOD WILL LIFT YOU!
- Everything is locked up in you decreeing!
11 You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your [chariot wheels] drip with fatness. 12 The [luxuriant] pastures in the uncultivated country drip [with moisture], and the hills gird themselves with joy. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing together. – Psalm 65:11–13 (AMP)
You are Crowning YOUR year with BOUNTY & GOODNESS!
Bounty: Finances, Money, Big Treasures
- Please understand that when you crown your year, ABUNDANCE WILL COME!!!
- The Amplified says: LUXURY, ABUNDANCE & JOY
WHAT IS NEEDED FOR A YEAR TO BE CROWNED?:
9 You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; – Psalm 65:9–10 (NKJV)
You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it. 10 You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth.
- So, the year is CROWNED when God VISITS HIS PEOPLE!
- WHICH MENAS THAT A VISITATION IS THE VERY KEY, THE PRINCIPLE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A CROWNING TO TAKE PLACE!
- When the Lord VISITS YOU – HE CROWNS YOU!
- And everything God does. he does abundantly!
4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen — Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth! – Psalm 8:4–9 (NKJV)
HERE WE SEE GOD CROWNING A PERSON!
- When Heaven CROWNS you, GLORY and HONOR comes on you.
- When you are CROWNED – DOMINION IS GIVEN TO YOU IN GREATER MEASURE!
A CROWN is a SYMBOL of AUTHORITY from GOD GIVEN TO YOU.
THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR OF UNQUESTIONABLE VISITATIONS – NOT ONE VISITATION, BUT MANY VISITATIONS!!!
4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? – Psalm 8:4–9 (NKJV)
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to them. – Exodus 6:3 (NKJV)
- There is a visitation and appearance of God that is coming this year!
- This is your year of MANY VISITATIONS!
2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” – Exodus 3:2–3 (NKJV)
- A bush is an unintelligible object
- A bush cannot talk
- But when there was a God visitation and God possessed the bush, Moses who was an intelligent man was drawn to an unintelligent object.
- So God shows Moses who cannot speak but stutter, that a bush that cannot speak can suddenly completely speak.
So when you have a God visitation, intelligent people will be drawn to you, it doesn’t matter your talent, skill, intelligence, nothing. When God possess you with a VISITATION, people are drawn!
1 Then the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. – Genesis 18:1–3 (NKJV)
- Visitation requires a location: by the tree
- Visitation requires a time: in the heat of the day
Which means that your time and location this year will determine your visitation!
If you are not correctly aligned you can miss it.
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. – Psalm 133:3 (KJV)
New Year’s eve is a time and a location to receive a visitation of the Lord, or at the very least, that the Lord takes note of you in His book, for certain blessings that will come.
1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” – Revelation 4:1 (NKJV)
After these things:
- The bad things of 2023
- Now a door will be open for you
- It requires ASCENSION or a VISITATION!
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RECEIVE A VISITATION?
6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 7 On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give you?” 8 And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David my father be established, for You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?” 11 Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king— 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.” – 2 Chronicles 1:6-12 (NKJV)
• A VISITATION IS A DIVINE SETUP TO BE CROWNED WITH GREATNESS
• A VISITATION IS THE DIVINE INTERACTION WITH HUMAN VESSELS
• A VISITATION IS A THEOPHANY, GOD COMING TO YOU IN PERSON!
• A VISITATION ALWAYS LEAVES YOU PROMOTED, OR IN SOME CASES DEMOTED
• A VISITATION CHANGES YOUR STATE OF BEING AND GLORY AND HONOR IMMEDIATELY
• A VISITATION CAN BE SEEN ON SOMEONE WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN VISITED BY GOD
• A VISITATION TAKES YOU HIGHER
• A VISITATION ALWAYS PROMOTES
• VISITATIONS CREATES CHAMPIONS
• A VISITATION IS SYMBOLIC OF THE MAGI THAT VISITED JESUS, THEY CAME TO CROWN HIM KING, TO MAKE HIM KING AND THEY CAME WITH A KINGS BOUNTY
• A VISITATION WILL CROWN YOU AND BRING YOU A KINGS BOUNTY
5 THINGS THAT HAPPENED WITH SOLOMON DURING HIS VISITATION
1. SOLOMON RECEIVED A BLANK CHEQUE:
YOUR VISITATION WILL GIVE YOU A BLANK CHEQUE!!
God said to Solomon: ASK ANYTHING YOU WANT.
It was a cheque from Heaven with God’s signature in it. He could ask God anything at that moment and he would’ve received it.
27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? – Jeremiah 32:27 (NKJV)
The one visiting you tonight says it’s not too hard for Me, all you need to do is ask.
19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? – Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. – John 14:14 (NKJV)
THIS SCRIPTURE MEANS THAT SHOULD YOU ASK HIM ANYTHING, AND HE DOES NOT HAVE IT, HE WILL CREATE IT FOR YOU!!!
That means there is no limit to what you may ask. The only limit to your prayers will be the following,
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. (TIMING AND LOCATION AGAIN) – Isaiah 55:6 (NKJV)
The beauty is that tonight He is near. When a night like tonight happens, don’t ask for something small.
YOUR VISITATION WILL GIVE YOU A BLANK CHEQUE!
2. SOLOMON RECEIVED A UNUSUAL CREATIVE MIRACLE:
Before his encounter he was dull person. I did not think much of himself and certainly had no confidence knowing that he does not have the skill nor ability even intellectually to do what is needed to lead these people.
He was physically not able to lead these people.
That is why when God asked him “what do you want”, he himself in essence said that I don’t have the intellectual capacity to do what I is needed.
In essence he was asking for a new brain – a transformed mind, give me wisdom, that was his request. God gave Him the skill and understanding.
A visitation comes with creative miracles…
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. – John 1:1-3 (NKJV)
There are divine miracles locked up in your visitations. Whatever it is must submit as it collides with TRUTH. When God visits you every situation is then brought under God’s authority – hypostasis.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. – Psalm 33:8-9 (NKJV)
The moment God speaks in your visitation IT IS DONE!
11 And God did unusual and extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, – Acts 19:11 (AMP)
“Your Visitation will bring you unquestionable and unusual miracles ONCE IN A LIFETIME MIRACLES”
3. SOLOMON BECAME DISTINCT FROM THE REST:
That night God said to Solomon: “There will be no king like you before you nor shall there be one like you after you. “– What does that mean? Solomon received a unique miracle, the kind that only happens once. This miracle was designed for him and him alone.
A visitation will always set you apart and make you distinct, we see this in:
• Gideon
• Moses
• Joseph
• David
• Solomon
• Paul
• John The Baptist
“THIS IS YOUR YEAR OF DISTINCTION!!! A VISITATION WILL ALWAYS SET YOU APART, LIFT YOU AND MAKE YOU DISTINCT”
4. SOLOMON RECEIVED MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN HE ASKED FOR:
Solomon only asked God for Wisdom, but God said I will add wealth, I will add honor, I will add long life, I will add peace. He was given much more than he asked for. It was all in abundance.
“A VISITATION WILL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU ASK FOR
WE SERVE EL SHADDAI – THE GOD WHO IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!”
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” – Genesis 17:1 (NKJV)
Whenever you go to the Almighty God and ask Him for one thing, He will give you more than what you’ve asked for.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. – Psalm 23:5 (NKJV)
“YOU CAN NEVER EXHAUST THE BLESSING OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD”
A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” 2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.” 5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” – 2 Kings 4:1-7 (NKJV)
“GOD IS ABLE TO PAY YOUR DEBT SO THAT YOU NEVER HAVE TO BORROW AGAIN”
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, – Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV)
“A VISITATION WILL CAUSE YOU TO HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH. IT IS TIME TO ENCOUNTER THE GOD OF MORE THAN ENOUGH”
5. SOLOMON WAS CROWNED THAT DAY WITH GLORY & HONOR:
- Remember when Prophet spoke about spiritual crows
- When God visits you – He crowns you.
- When people look at you, it is your crown they see, the crown is your countenance!
- Your crown is your glory!
- Your crown is your honor!
- Don’t let ANY man steak your crown
11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take/steal your crown. – Revelation 3:11 (NKJV)
Things where never the same for him again after this day. Everything changed.
- He was great before but he became greater.
- He was rich but became wealthier.
- He was a dull before but became wise.
- He was unknown but became well known.
For the rest of his life, he never had to fight a battle. The joy of Solomon became full from that day forward, because everything he ever wanted begin to come his way. He was not only world famous, but all the kings & queens of the world where bringing treasures to him. He began to succeed without much effort.
“GOD WANTS TO CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR THE BETTER IN YOUR LIFE!!!”
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. – 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Whether you believe it or not but
- It is possible for someone to never know sorrow again.
- It is possible for someone to never be sick again.
- It is possible for someone to never borrow again.
- It is possible for someone to let God do something in your life, that the only time you ever cry again is when you are crying for Joy.
“FOR SOLOMON EVERYTHING BECAME NEW”
