READ:
ISAIAH 1:2-13
The problem
of unanswered prayers has baffled many people. So also is the problem of
delayed answers to prayers. It is indeed true that hope deferred makes the
heart sick. Satan, the accuser of the brethren, has continued to use the weapon
of discouragement to wreck the ship of many heaven-bound pilgrims. If you have
discovered that God’s promises seem not to be working for you, you must examine
yourself and detect areas in which you are not praying aright. After all, in
Hebrews 13:8, the Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever.” Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the LORD, I do not change;
therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.” 2 Corinthians 1:20
says, “For the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him Amen, to the glory of
God through us.” If God does not change and all His promises are yes
and amen, how come that some promises made to some of us have not manifested,
one thing we should note is that prayers do not change God. If He is the same
yesterday, today and forever, it follows that before you prayed, He was God.
While you were praying, He was God. After you finished praying, He is still
God. Why then do we bother ourselves to pray? Almost invariably, it is through
prayer that we ourselves become changed. Many a time, what God wants to do is
already settled. All that He is waiting for is for us to tune to the correct
frequency. I am confident that your miracle is hanging around somewhere waiting
for you to pick it up. Joshua fell on his face before the Almighty God, in
Joshua 7, to remind God about His promise that no man would be able to stand
before him. God heard him. If you stand on God’s promises you will receive
instant miracles.
MEMORIZE:
ISAIAH 59:2 –But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and you sins
have hidden His face from you,
so that He will not heard.
