VISITATION OF SALVATION

“Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, VISIT ME with YOUR SALVATION” – Psalm 106:4

The Psalmist pleaded for a Divine VISITATION of SALVATION: “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, VISIT ME with YOUR SALVATION, that I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your inheritance” (Psa.106:4-5). Divine Visitation is not merely a polite call; it is the deliberate, supernatural intervention of Almighty God in the affairs of humanity, turning desperate situations around for His Glory. Here, the psalmist recalled a history of rebellion (vv.6-7), yet pleaded for a Visitation of Salvation, highlighting that God’s Visit is anchored in His enduring Mercy, not our human perfection.

Before asking for help, the psalmist praised God for His goodness and enduring mercy. Praise provokes Divine Visitation. Gratitude creates an atmosphere for God to step in (vv.1-2). Also, righteousness attracts Divine Presence (v.3). God blesses those who walk in righteousness. However, while Grace is free, a life of obedience aligns us with God's Visitation. Verse 4 is a plea for favoured remembrance; a request for God’s action, just as He remembered Noah and Abraham. This was coupled with the need for personal salvation, not just general blessings. The decisive desire was to see the prosperity of God's chosen ones – to share in the communal joy, victory, and heritage of believers (v.5).

God’s Visitation breaks cycles of stagnation, terminates satanic oppression, and accelerates long-awaited blessings. Verses 4 and 5 are gems in pursuing this visitation. The psalmist asked not just for physical escape, but to be included in the "Favoured" and "Chosen" status of God’s people, a humble acknowledgment that we are too weak to solve our own problems, necessitating a visit from the Great Physician. Just as God visited the Israelites at the Red Sea to transform their fear into a victory song, He desires to visit us today (vv.9,12). This is our season to step out of the wilderness of forgotten promises into the good of His chosen ones. It’s a time to move from mourning to glorying!

Visitation is basically about God’s reputation, not our merit. Despite the generation in the wilderness sinning, God saved them “for His name's sake” (vv.6-8). His Mercy overruled human failure. His visitation brings dominion over impossible situations, turning obstacles into paths of escape, like the Red Sea into dry land (vv. 9-11). The ultimate purpose of a visitation is that we believe His words and sing His praise (v.12).

In Jesus’ Name, I prophesy that:

The Lord remembers me with the Favour He has towards His own. Every long-standing delay in my life is broken today by His intervention!

The Lord shall dry up every Red Sea before me. I shall walk through on dry ground! My story changes from complaining to singing praises!

I shall partake in the good, prosperity, and gladness of God’s chosen ones! I will see the Hand of God in my health, family, and finances!

Whatever has been stolen from me is hereby restored by the Favour of God and the Divine Visitation of Salvation!
