Changes always come from praying! III

Good day to you, dear readers of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! God bless you and keep you today from all evil!During the past few days we have been talking about the idea of a person being the main initiator of the miracles he needs in his life. In order for God to be able to do something supernatural in the individual’s life this individual must create the natural platform or foundation for this miracle. When you mix your distress with prayer, then the miracle will surely happen and you will have true and undisputable proof of God’s miracle and His supernatural intervention.We talked about the life of Hannah who cried out to God inspite of her practically hopeless circumstances and kept expecting her miracle. People that saw Hannah thought she was drunk. But it was her despair mixed with prayer and trust in God.What was the result of Hannah’s prayer?The result or the answer to Hannah’s prayer did not linger. A year later she was holding in her hands undeniable proof of the fact that God intervenes in human affairs.
„So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, „Because I have asked for him from the LORD.” Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow. But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, „Not until the child is weaned; then I will take him, that he may appear before the LORD and remain there forever” (1 Samuel, 1: 20-21).
During prayer Hannah gave a promise to God that if He gave her a son she would give him for the service to God.If we are ready to give the Lord all the blessings He has given us, then the flow of miracles won’t stop in our lives. If our hearts are glued to God Himself and not His blessings, then God won’t be able to turn His eyes away from us.After Hannah weaned her son she returned to Shiloh with the proof of God’s faithfulness.
«Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh. And the child was young. Then they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli. And she said, “O may lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you’re here, praying to the Lord. For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him» (1 Samuel, 1: 24-27).
We looked at Hannah’s situation and saw what she did, how she acted and how God rewarded her trust and consistency.If you will imitate her then you will be able to initiate your solid and undeniable proof. Do not sit and wait, and waste your time! Start initiating your miracle and may your life be filled with God’s miracles!May God abundantly bless you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Without God I cannot, but with Him I can do all!

    We can not do the works of God without God. Very often in our own strength, we try to do what God requires us to do with Him. Often we rely on ourselves and on things we already know. Often we rely on our experience. But when the prayer is our priority we understand that when relying on ourselves and doing the job without prayer, we are wasting time and energy. Without a strong prayer movement in the church, the church vision cannot be accomplished. It´s just not possible!
  • The generosity and hospitality that opens doors for God’s intervention

    “The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, “If I have found favour in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way – now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There in the tent,” he said. Then the Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.”
  • Jesus transforms those that follow Him III

    We must keep God’s call to change right before our eyes as one of the most important goals. As soon as we come to God and enter His Kingdom, the desire to change and grow into the likeness of Jesus should be our single desire and our daily bread. And when we start changing, the things around us will change along with the inward changes we experience. Then the most awful situation will change for better and terrible problems will be solved. All of this will happen along with the transformation of our character in the process of the spiritual growth.
  • The steps God takes in disciplining us II

    If we listen to the conviction of the Holy Spirit that is communicated through the people God sends to us to correct us and repent of our sins, then He stops all the judgments. But, if we continue in our stubbornness and resist Him, God allows more trouble in our lives in order to show us that there are spiritual problems in us that we need to resolve. If after that we still resist Him and refuse to humble ourselves before Him, then He increases penalties. God does that because He loves us and does not want any of His children to perish.
  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.
