DESPERATE FOR A CHANGE


READ: 2CHRONICLES4
You may not receive miracle until you become desperate for it. Prayer may be monotonous and dry if you are not earnest about it. When you are desperate for a miracle you would pray with every strand of fibre in you. You would cry out until the answer comes. God can change any situation if you allow Him. He once changed a witch, Mary Magdalene, into a divine treasurer. In Mark 5:1-20, He also took a man who was so terribly mad that he was living in a graveyard and transformed him into an evangelist. God can repeat this miracle. Always remember that those who are desperate are always candidates for miracles. When you can no longer sink lower, there is only one way to go: upward. No matter your situation, there is always help from above. This was why David said in Psalm 121:1-2: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills -from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Are you aware of the fact that help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth? A change will always come for someone desperate for a change. Hannah was desperate. According to 1 Samuel 1:9-11, she needed a son. She bagged a miracle. In 2 Kings 4:18-37, the Shunamite woman was desperate to see her son live. Death vomited her baby. The woman whose daughter was tormented by the devil, in Matthew 15:21-28, was desperate to get her miracle even though Jesus Christ called her a dog. The woman with the issue of blood was so desperate to get a miracle that she stole it from Jesus Christ. She secretly touched the Lord and received her miracle. We also read the story of the widow of the prophet whose sons were to be taken into slavery by creditors. She was desperate in her search for a miracle. In one day, she moved from poverty to prosperity. She was determined to suffer no more. Are you satisfied with your present condition? Do you desire a change? Are you desperate enough to ask God to grant you answers to your prayers as a matter of urgency? Are you ready to hold on to the horns of the altar? If you are desperate and decisive God will send help to you from above.
MEMORIZE: JAMES2:17 –Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
