An Encounter That Makes You Count In Your Generation

When an ordinary man meets the Extra ordinary God, he is turn to an extra ordinary man.

No one can encounter God and not leave a mark in their generation.

Examples: Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Elijah, Paul etc.

These people encounter God differently but all of them were transformed by the Voice of God and they left a mark in their generation.

It takes an encounter to make you count.

Elijah Example:
I Kings 19:11 – 12
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Jesus was transformed by a voice
Matthew 3:17 - And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Moses was empowered not by the burning bush but by the voice of God
Exodus 3:2 – 4, 10
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
