READ: 2
KINGS 18:30-39
The
shortest way to receive a miracle is by repairing the altar of the Lord. When
the altar of the Lord is in good shape, you will receive whatever miracles you
desire from the Lord. Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken
down. And fire fell. Our altars have been broken down, that is why it seems God
is not answering our prayers. We are not where we ought to be. Many have lost
their bearings. Would you repair the altar of the Lord that has been broken in
your heart? The Bible says, in Isaiah 55:6-7: “Seek the LORD while He may be
found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will
have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. ” As
I read today’s text, an interesting fact caught my attention. The prayer of
Elijah lasted less than thirty seconds. It was a casual prayer. Yet, fire fell.
This is the kind of prayer that I like to offer; prayers that will bring
instant answers. Let me ask you this question. What exactly is the water in
your life preventing the fire from burning? Could it be outright disobedience?
Could it be that you have not been witnessing the way God wants you to? Could
it be that you have been robbing God and you have not been paying your tithes?
Could it be that you have not been praying the way you should? Have you been
praising God the way you should be praising Him? Could it be you have just been
reading the Bible instead of studying it? Could it be that you have been living
in sin? You cannot hide anything from God. You have to separate the water from
the fire so that each time you pray, answer will come. As you think of the
water in your life, make a decision to amend and ask God to help you because
you cannot do it on your own.
MEMORIZE:
ISAIAH 55:6 –Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is
near.
