INTRODUCTION:
There is no greater honour than for God to visit a man’s house. His presence carries peace, healing, and transformation. When God visits, everything changes: burdens are lifted, prayers are answered, and His glory fills every corner. Divine visitation is an act of mercy and favour that no human effort can earn. It comes by divine election and preparation of the heart.

Throughout the Bible, divine visitation always produced unforgettable encounters. When God visited Abraham, He broke the yoke of barrenness. When God visited Obed-Edom, His household was overwhelmed with blessings. When Jesus visited Zacchaeus, salvation entered his home. God’s visitation always leaves behind undeniable evidence of His power and love.

In our generation, many homes are under pressure, homes full of sorrow, fear, and financial struggles. Yet, when God visits such homes, peace returns, relationships are restored, and miracles begin to flow. This message calls us to prepare our hearts and homes as divine dwelling places where the glory of God will continually abide.

1. GOD’S VISITATION BRINGS SALVATION
When God visits your house, the first thing He releases is salvation. His presence delivers from sin, guilt, and spiritual blindness.

a) God’s presence reveals man’s true condition — (Isaiah 6:5)
When God draws near, sin cannot hide; His light exposes what needs to be cleansed.

b) Salvation is the foundation of every divine blessing — (John 3:16)
Without salvation, divine visitation cannot produce lasting change.

c) God visits those who hunger for righteousness — (Matthew 5:6)
A heart that truly desires God attracts His saving grace.

d) When God saves one person, others follow — (Acts 16:31)
A single encounter with God can transform an entire family.

Biblical Example: Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). Jesus visited his home, and a greedy man became a generous, transformed believer.

2. GOD’S VISITATION BRINGS DIVINE BLESSINGS
When God visits a house, His blessing rests upon it. Prosperity, favour, and peace begin to manifest.

a) God’s presence transforms poverty into plenty — (Deuteronomy 28:8)
Divine visitation opens doors of financial and material abundance.

b) Favour follows those who host God’s presence — (Psalm 5:12)
When God is in your house, favour surrounds every member of your family.

c) God’s blessing neutralises every curse — (Numbers 23:20)
His visitation overturns every negative pronouncement.

d) The presence of God multiplies everything you have — (2 Samuel 6:11)
Obed-Edom’s home flourished when the Ark of God rested there.

Biblical Example: Obed-Edom (2 Samuel 6:10–12). In just three months, God’s visitation turned his house into a centre of divine prosperity.

3. GOD’S VISITATION BRINGS HEALING AND DELIVERANCE
When God visits a family, His power heals diseases and breaks the yoke of oppression.

a) Divine visitation destroys satanic afflictions — (Isaiah 10:27)
The anointing of God breaks every yoke that burdens His people.

b) Sickness cannot survive the presence of the Healer — (Exodus 15:26)
When Jesus visits, healing flows effortlessly.

c) God’s presence releases deliverance from demonic bondage — (Psalm 97:5)
Mountains of oppression melt before His glory.

d) God’s visitation secures household deliverance — (Exodus 12:13)
The blood of Jesus protects families from the destroyer’s hand.

Biblical Example: The home of Lazarus (John 11:1-44). Jesus’ visit turned mourning into dancing and death into life.

4. GOD’S VISITATION BRINGS JOY AND FULFILMENT
When God visits your house, sorrow gives way to rejoicing, and long-standing expectations are fulfilled.

a) Divine visitation reverses hopeless situations — (Psalm 126:1-2)
When the Lord visits, tears are replaced with songs of victory.

b) Joy is a mark of divine presence — (Zephaniah 3:17)
God rejoices over His people and fills their homes with laughter.

c) God visits to fulfil His covenant promises — (Genesis 21:1-2)
His visitation makes the impossible possible.

d) Hope springs alive where God dwells — (Romans 15:13)
Divine visitation rekindles faith and restores confidence in God’s faithfulness.

Biblical Example: Sarah (Genesis 21:1-7). God’s visitation brought the birth of Isaac and turned years of barrenness into laughter.

CONCLUSION:
When God visits your house, everything changes. His presence brings salvation, blessing, deliverance, and joy. Divine visitation is not just an event, it is a life-transforming experience that leaves a mark of grace and glory. Every believer must prepare for such visitation by living in holiness, prayer, and obedience to God.
