The more we collaborate with God, the more prophecies we will see fulfilled
I bless you precious children of God and pray, so that God´s word be revealed to you in a special way today that it fill your life with new values.
Yesterday we talked about God´s prophecies, fulfilment of which also depends on our contribution. No prophecy will be fulfilled unless certain human resources have been released in appropriate circumstances.
We have heard many prophecies of personal character and those that refer to church, and all of them are waiting on the day they will be fulfilled. Maybe you feel grieving these days, ill or completely exhausted. God has a different view at your life, He says: “You future is wonderful! You are healed! You are mighty and great!”
When God turns to you He always calls you “a strong man”, while He seems flattering because the reality looks totally opposite to this. Maybe you are ill today, while God is saying: “you are well”, so you take a look around thinking: “Whom is He saying it to? Anybody, but me?” Sometimes God is full of humour! When Gideon was full of fear and in panic, he even hid himself from people, the angel of God visited him and called Gideon a strong man. Hearing these words Gideon thought the angel was talking to somebody else but him.
«The angel of Yahweh came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. The angel of Yahweh appeared to him, and said to him, Yahweh is with you, you mighty man of valour. Gideon said to him, Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt? but now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian. Yahweh looked at him, and said, Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent you?» (Judges 6:11-14).
The more we collaborate with God, the more prophecies we will see fulfilled. When Gideon followed the way shown by the angel of God, he witnessed incredible God´s miracles. Collaboration with God leads to the fulfilment of God´s prophetic plans.
When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, «all the city was stirred up», – this is a good example of His collaboration with God. We wish all our cities could be stirred up by the Holy Spirit, don´t we? We desire that God´s actions would be apparent, so that reporters reflect the ongoing events daily, don´t we? God stated that, so places will be stirred up one day. God desires that, but what about you?
What does it mean to be stirred? When such things happen due to the changes taking place in people and through people the latter can´t remain indifferent to God any more. Nowadays people live wrapped in their problems, immersed in their own world, as though there is no God at all. They use some duty phrases in their speech like “For God´s sake”, “Thanks God”, but there is no God in their hearts at all. It happens to them just because they have never experienced the real God in their lives. God is a care taking father. Such people have not felt how real the God is, how powerful and Almighty Creator He is.
God wants to manifest Himself in your life and in my life. God wants to bring revival into our families, our church, our cities. To accomplish this He needs helpers, ready to follow His call and obey His orders. Make a decision to become His co-worker today!
God bless you!
