HOW MOSQUITOES CHANGED MY LIFE
Many people are of the opinion that mosquitoes are 'very very bad'; they give malaria, make sleeping difficult as they disturb your ear and they sulk your blood.
While these are true of mosquitoes, one of the biggest benefits of my life came after I encountered the mosquitoes in Aba.
Aba-Made Mosquitoes are the worst, they'll make you add them to your prayer list.
incidentally I schooled in Aba. I had moved to this apartment given to me by the school principal, the mosquitoes in this apartment was so much that even during the day, even our guests can't leave without blood stains on their clothes. We slept individually with mosquito repellant and once the smell is exhausted, every mosquito that missed you due to that repellant would troupe at once on you.
One day, during our prayer vigil, one of us raised the issue of mosquito as a prayer point. This was how he presented it 'Promise! you are from Umuahia, Do you have Mosquitoes in Umuahia? yes I replied, 'is it by anyway like what we are suffering here', he continued, I said, 'NO'. He asked another roomie, You lived in Isiala-Ngwa, have you experience what we are experiencing here? his answer was 'NO'. Then the prayer leader would say, 'this mosquitoes are demonic, they don't fear mosquito-coils, they don't die at the smell of repellant and they attack both day and night.
So we prayed that night and I was expecting angels of God to kill the mosquitoes for us but nothing changed. We had prayed with Matt. 7:7 and I was holding unto that word, and was hoping the mosquitoes bites would reduce and stop totally but nothing changed. After praying that friday night, we endured another night of mosquitoes bite
it continued for days, weeks and months but I'll keep wondering why God didn't do anything despite out prayers. One day, as I was thinking about that prayer, I noticed someone come pour piss on the front of our window, at that moment it occurred to me that the piss being poured every morning there is the cause of the mosquitoes so I decided to clear and clean that place up and warned those who pour debris and piss there to desist. I used a car tire and light a big fire, raked the place and make it very neat.
That night became my first night when I could sleep without mosquito troubles.
That same day I knew why the prayer took so long before I could get the answers, I had prayed to God to do for me what He had enabled me to do for myself. This is the reason many prayers are still unanswered.
We just need to look out and take the step of faith. Now that you've prayed, are you still seating down? get up, take the step of faith and let God use you become the answer to your prayer. You are the first vessel God for the answer to your prayer, not angels, not others but you. Take responsibility and see the result you have prayed for.
God bless you
