PRAYERS ALTERED HIM
Oneday,
God appeared to a man and told him to push a rock, this man was pushing this
rock though it wasn’t moving faithfully till when the devil came and asked him
why he is wasting his time pushing a rock that wasn’t moving. This man reasoned
with the devil and stopped pushing. Later God came and saw him seating and
asked him, why are you nolonger pushing this rock as instructed? He replied,
there is no need wasting my energy, seeing the rock hasn’t moved an inch since
I started pushing it and God replied, but your muscles has grown more than an
inch. That’s when the man discovered that his sinews have grown bigger than it
used to be before God told him to push the rock. Then God told him, I asked you
to push not because I want the rock to move but because I want your sinews and
muscles to develope, because the task I have for you, you shall need a
developed muscle to be able to carry it out. At that point the man regretted
listening to the devil and quiting on pushing the rock because his muscles
would have developed more if he hadn’t stopped. Like that man, God didn’t ask
us to pray because by praying we move the rock but so that we develop spiritual
muscles and sinews. There are more serious issues in the world God is preparing
us to handle during our moments of prayers than the selfish little issues we
are praying about.
When
Christ was praying, answer weren’t pouring out from heaven but instead ‘...the
fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and
glistering’. Luke 9:29
The
ultimate work of prayer is not to give us what we want at the time we think we
want it but is to alter the fashion of our countenance and perfume us with the
glory of heaven just like it was on Christ when He was praying; because it’s
the man that has being altered at the place of prayers that can overcome the
world.
Have
you prevailed in the place of prayer to be altered or are you still sleeping,
watching movies or walking aimlessly about the street.
God
bless you.
