LET US PRAY. (1) “GREAT EXPECTATIONS”

Post date: Sep 2, 2013 4:03:06 AM

“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know, do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand.” Jeremiah 33:3. Isn't it very amazing to know that God is interested in hearing our voices, He is calling on us to ask Him what we want in prayers with a promise to hear, to answer and to reveal amazing great things that had been hidden and fenced from our reach despite our physical efforts in reaching and acclaiming them, things we have not known, have not thought of, have not asked for and have never imagined we will be able to have in this life. Hannah was one of such person.

Prayer is never an easy task, it is a direct engagement in a spiritual battle with the evil forces of darkness who does not want you to move beyond where you are and what you are, to where you should be, where God had destined for you to be in life and to where you have worked to be all these years. Prayer requires determination to keep up till the deal is done to your advantage, ignoring all contrary distractions irrespective of its enticing magnitude as Hannah did. It is true that sometimes you will feel very uncomfortable humbling yourself to pray, you may feel very inadequate in approaching the throne of grace to seek relieve and intervention, you may feel very weak and very discouraged because of the delays in your past prayers, you may feel uncertain due to certain things that you may have known and those you may not know when praying, but despite your feelings, your God does not see you that way and does not feel the way you feel. He is very comfortable, happy and glad to hear you call upon Him, because He asked you to so.

The power, the glory and the blessings that you will receive tomorrow does not lie on any of the good wishes and imaginations of you have today for yourself, but it completely depends on the prayers you pray today based on what you see, what you know, what you are experiencing and your efforts in keeping up with the good activity which are in consonant with the words of God. Time spent in sincere prayer today is time spent in investing in your very best expectation and celebration tomorrow. The prayers you prayed yesterday took you to where you are right now, and the prayers you will pray today will take you to where you will be tomorrow. If you refuse to pray today, you close the door of seeing your expectations tomorrow and will be living only in your wishes which are never profitable. The prayers of your parents and friends will take you to a certain level in life, and your own prayers are expected to take you far beyond that former level, to a higher ground in all blessings and in living.   

As you have the believe that God exist, that He saved your soul from eternal destruction and from the power of continuous and dehumanizing sins, that He alone feeds all the births in the air, all the animals in the bush, and everything living in the waters, please I urge you to believe also that He answers prayers and will answer the current prayer that you are praying now. He sees every of your situation and He knows your present location. He sees your heart and knows your thoughts. The effects, results and rewards of prayers far exceed the best imagination you will ever have, and will exceed the best expectation you will ever have for yourself, for anyone else and in any situation under the sun, when you have an expectation pray, if none don’t.

As we pray this month, please remember that prayers gives a smile instead of a frown; gives a crown instead of a thorn; gives peace instead of trouble; gives grace instead of a struggle; and gives love instead of hate.  Today’s prayer lays the foundation for whatever you will become tomorrow. What you are today is what you prayed for yesterday. You will be what you prayed for today by tomorrow. When you fail to pray today, you will fail in your visions, dreams and desires tomorrow. As you pray today, you will increase exceedingly in every aspect of your life tomorrow. Let us pray again and over again. Divine peace and assurance from our Father above be on you as you humble yourself to pray. Amen. For Prayer Click here
