Divine Visits🔥 Zacchaeus: If you Seek the Lord, He will Visit You! (Part 2)

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

Isaiah 55:6-7

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Psalm 14:2

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

Luke 19:1-4

And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-13‬ ‭RSV‬

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart,”

IF ZACCHAEUS HAD DELAYED HE WOULD NEVER HAVE MET JESUS. THIS WAS JESUS FINAL JOURNEY VIA JERICHO BECAUSE HE WOULD BE CRUCIFIED IN JERUSALEM. DO NOT DELAY TO SEEK THE LORD, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 

Luke 19:5-6

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 

Luke 2:15-16

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 

Psalm 119:60

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
