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

    You cannot say you love and at the same time neglect spending time with the one whom you love. It is simply not possible! Time is our life. By spending time with the one whom you love, you are giving or sharing with them part of your life.In order to earn money, you need time; in order to spend money, you need time. If you have money but do not have time to spend it, this money will not bring you any blessings. If you lose the money, you can earn it back tomorrow.

    You should understand there is nothing that belongs to you. Your life itself is not yours, it’s a trust God has shown to you. Understanding this truth changes the way you respond to what is going on around you.You do not live for yourself; you did not appear on this Earth by your own act of will or for your own personal purpose. God has given life to you as a sign of His trust for you. You are entrusted with life from God and the day will come when you will have to give account to God for the life He given to you, – for all your deeds and words while living in your body.

    If you had a polluted garment on even a brand new garment, what would you feel like? I am sure you would feel disgusted. This is exactly what those who try to please God through their good works without Christ feel. It doesn´t matter how many good works you do, God would never accept you unless you accept Jesus by faith. God´s peace enters your heart because you get to know Jesus and realise that in Him you are saved and accepted by God.

    The first thing God did to Abram was that He took him out of the tent, out of his comfort zone. While we stay within our comfort zone where we feel at ease, where we do not need to make an effort, where everything goes according to the habitual scenario, we are not able to see what God wants to show us. For this reason God often desires us to get out of our comfort zone, out of our routine lifestyle and for us to put forth some effort to expand our knowledge of the will of God for our life.

    “ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”In this short statement of Jesus Christ there a very important lesson is hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for manand not man for the sabbath.In life it is often possible to observe such a picture where by those things over which man is meant to dominate, are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often result in many tragic problems in people’s life today.
