WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DETAIN THAT HAS BEEN PASSING YOU BY CONTINUALLY
"And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually."
God will give you ears all over your body. The type that will make you arrest what should be detained at once. You can get to a place of sure knowing even at the first contact. You don't have to encounter the second time before you confirm the reality of what you should draw into your house or welcome as heaven's blessings into your home. You can at a contact decipher people for who they are and take a decision on them - to befriend or put at arm's length; to let into your house or let loose.
Look at Abraham and how at once he refuses to let go of the strangers who pass by him.
Genesis 18:2-3, KJV
"32 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
3 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:"
"Pass not away...from thy servant." What has been slipping off your own hands that God intends should have been brought in? It could have been due to your negligence, lack of attention to details or hospitality. What I know is that God is on your matter today. How did Abraham know that the Lord and two angels have just come down? How did he have a clue that these divine beings are connected to the receiving of Isaac - the promised child? (Gen. 18:14). Though the Bible didn't specifically mention any act of perception, yet we saw a man who fulfills Hebrews 13:2, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have entertained angels unawares."
Imagine what Abraham was drawing to himself and to his house when he persuaded those men to come on, dine and rest with him. Is there space in your house for December's blessing? This cart that's on the move, can God mercifully stop it at your house? God wants you to be an 'opportunist' like Abraham. He's not dull of perception at all. God might send one by you and irrespective of how, it will just be recognized for what it is and taken in. You must know your time that has come.
That Shunammite woman says, "I perceive this is a holy man of God which passes by us continually." God did not intend that Elisha would have passed them by continually countless numbers of times without their drawing him in. Rather, it was their dull hearing and late perception that led to that. God was so merciful that He kept sending Elisha that same way until they came to a realization of themselves. That's God's mercy to compensate for their many failed attempts to get hold of the provision He has exclusively sent their way.
God is saying, "how many times will I speak and you will not hear?" God is saying, "I've sent the answer to your prayers but do well to search yourself. You aren't fulfilling your part. It's mine to make your paths cross but it's yours to accept, receive and welcome into your life and consequently your house."
God has sent some their spouses. They have met and interacted even a number of times. The only thing that is lacking in their lives is that they have refused to perceive that, "this is he/she." That woman exclaims eventually during her moment of revelation saying, "I perceive that this is a holy man of God which has been passing by us continually."
God wants you to acknowledge your fault. If you acknowledge your sin and confess them, you'll receive forgiveness of sins (I John 1:9, Prov. 28:13). For every opportunity and blessings that you have prayed for till now but which you have missed, God wants you to acknowledge that He sent them but you were the one who out of your novices let them pass by you continually. That woman acknowledged that. She acknowledged the fact that God won't come down from heaven to help them contain Elisha or make him part of their household. Elisha (the moving blessing and the holy man of God) could have been earlier detained but their lack of perception didn't allow them to go to that mile of trusting and seeing him as someone they could open their door to.
The Bible says in Job 33:14, "For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not."
You see, the fault is with man. He's the one without perception. God's communication and message reached him in clarity but he just couldn't decipher and interpret what it means and how it should be used. God is repairing hearings today. God is helping you to fine tune your channels today. God is beating you into alignment today. God is helping you to catch, dot and stay on the right frequency today. You will no longer lament in regret saying, "This is a holy man of God which passes by us continually." Once God speaks, twice you will hear. That's how sharp and full of perfection you will be. In 2026, you will draw with your nets into your boat every blessing meant for you. Not one shall bypass you due to negligence or a lackadaisical attitude. Not one! At every point in time when an opportunity, a flight or a benefit you should take is being publicly advertised, you'll have a knowing that you should put in for that job, speak with that critical person, visit that critical place, invest in that critical business etc. At that moment and on the spot, God will grant you a moment of revelation that will make you howler and say, "Now I perceive that this is a holy man of God - that long awaited and missed blessing." You will see things for what they are. You will not have the problem of mistaken identity. You will not see men as trees. You will see rightly and on time. I pray for you, enter into moments of revelation and constant understanding henceforth. When it matters and is critical to your well being, "may you know and not be out of perception." Wake up to the realization of every dots and tittles that you have taken for granted.
PRAYER: I wake up to the realization of every dots and tittles that I have taken for granted till now.
