COME TO PENIEL
COME TO PENIEL
Dear children of God, today let
us go to the place called PENIEL, there Jacob was blessed, where he had a great
transformation in his life. PENIEL means that I have seen God face to face and
yet my life has been delivered. In Hebrew, PENIEL means seeing God face to
face. The place PENIEL is situated north to Yapok River, and 40 miles away from
North East of Jerusalem. When Jacob had went to Laban his uncle’s house, with
emptied hands. But now he has two camps, two wives, two maid servants and
eleven children. Jacob was blessed in that place, a great transformation took
in his life, and he has prepared to reconcile with his brother Esau. So, he
crossed the river with his two wives, two maid servants and 11 children. He was
left alone in that place, where God intervened with Jacob, and he encountered
with God face to face.
PENIEL is the place where we
encounter God face to face and our lives will be changed as a new creature.
That is what happened in Jacob’s life. In that place the fear of the Lord God
was engulfed Jacob, because he has to confessed his sins, what he had hidden
from the face of his father Isaac. Now he had encountered God face to face, God
asked him that what your name is. He could not hide before the face of God.
Here he answered that lord I am Jacob the cheater. In PENIEL God had changed
his name, his life, and his character. Dear brothers and sisters if you come to PENIEL, you have to meet God face to face, then you have to confess your sins
which you cannot hide from his presences. There he will forgive your sins and
bless you and call you by new name. The one who conquers will be clothed thus
in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I
will confess his name before my father and before angels. Jacob’s name was
changed into Israel means you have striven with God and with men, and have
prevailed. Jacob has prepared to meet his brother Esau with gifts and appease
him for reconciliation .Jacob, in the womb he took his brother by the heel, and
in his manhood he strove with God. He strove with angel and prevailed; he wept
and sough his favor. Jacob said, I will not let you go unless you bless me, and
there he blessed him, so Jacob called the name of the place PENIEL, saying, I
have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.
