It
takes only one encounter with the right person, at the right time to have your
life totally changed. I had one of those kinds of encounters recently and the
impact of that single moment still lingers in my life days later. It took
Esther of the bible only one night with the king to have her life, destiny and
that of her people totally changed.
I have
known this person for a while but from a distance. I have listened to him
teach, preach and even give wise counsel in different forums but never had I
fathomed the depth of his impact until the day I had a single encounter with
him. What started off as an unofficial meeting, turned out to be a life
changing moment for me.
In
that single moment, I was able to see from an eagle’s view what I needed to do
for the next phase of my life and how I could position myself for greatness. I
never anticipated the results of that single meeting. Each statement and phrase
was loaded with wisdom, insight and thorough knowledge of the subject. It felt
like sitting at the well and drinking from fresh waters. I never took any notes
but I sure downloaded a whole lot of what was said in that single encounter.
As I
drove home that evening, different pieces of the puzzle begun to fall in place
and suddenly many things made sense. More than the ideas, this person has a
contagious courage and attitude that seem to rub onto you simply by associating
with him. I gained a new sense of courage and confidence in the things that I
do. For a moment I was awakened to the reality of the giant within me. This
effect is still lingering on, days later.
This
encounter reminded me about Esther and the fact that we do not need several
encounters to be transformed. A single divine encounter with the right person
at the right time will position you at the threshold of your greatness.
Preparation must meet opportunity for an encounter to be successful, so you
must learn to prepare your heart to meet with greatness. Never go into the presence of another king
half-heartedly, have an open heart and a willing attitude.
It has
been said that when the student is ready, the teacher will come. Are you ready
for your destiny; are you ready to be birthed into your next level? Your
readiness has to do with the state of your heart and the willingness to drink
from the wells of the divine connections that come your way.
It
takes just one encounter with a king to turn your life around.
