Luke 1: 11-12
"And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him"
When God suddenly visited Zacharias, he was troubled and afraid, because he was not expecting such divine visitor; though he had been serving in the office of a priest for a long time. Divine visitation is always unprepared for. Many Christians prepare for many things in life, but omit to prepare for the day of their divine visitation; which comes at God’s own timing and decision.
There is bit of concern in this episode of divine visitation. It appears that the priest might have been praying for a child, but was not expecting God to do something about it. May be the priest was expecting God to answer his prayers in a certain way. The truth is that we cannot dictate to God how He would grant our requests.
Clearly, Zacharias the priest was not preparing for the divine visitation. The good thing about him was that he continued in his serving God diligently regardless of the prevailing circumstances in his direct family. God visited him and his wife with great message, in the ordinary course of working for God. The Bible teaches us to pray with expectations. God is more than able to address whatever may be our concerns. “BE PREPARED YOUR DIVINE VISITOR IS ON THE WAY”
