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

  • How can we experience God in our life?

    The God´s mercy is renewed for us this morning. The Bible says: «Let everything that has breath praise Yah!» (Psalm 150:6). If you can breath today – it´s a mercy of the Lord and a sufficient reason to praise and thank Him.Today I would like to begin a new topic called “How can we experience God in our life?” Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.
  • Prayer is petitioning God and receiving from Him

    «Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened» (Mathew, 7:7-8).This passage of Scripture reveals three levels of praying. I really want you to see it. There are quite many places in the Bible where God has made known to us His desires and His will and promises. We can ask in prayer when the will of God has been revealed and made known.

    Send your treasures to heaven by investing in those who are going there. Many are rich with goods and treasures of this world, but they are poor toward God. The Bible call such people fools:20″But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?” 21This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12: 20-21)
  • The changes must start with us

    «When I was young my imagination did not know any boundaries. And I wanted to change the whole world. In time I realized that I wouldn’t be able to change the world, so I tried to change my country. When I realized that I wouldn’t be able to change the country, I concentrated on changing my city. But I couldn’t change my city either. So, when I had grown older, I tried to change my family. Now when I am an old man waiting to cross over to the other side I have understood that the only one I could change was me. Suddenly I realized that if I had worked on changing myself I would have been able to really affect my family and then my family and I could have affected the city. Through the changes in the city we could have changed the country and the world”.
  • Confession of our sins before God

    God cleanses and heals us from inside out. And one of the most important elements leading to the inner healing is confession of our sins before God and forgiving of other people’s transgressions. «And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors» (Mathew, 6:12).When we come to God in prayer, we must confess our sins and ask Him to heal us. Such a prayer brings healing and deep inner cleansing.
