Psalm 37:4-5

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.  KJV

Are you thinking all hope is gone? Don’t worry, I know God will bring to pass his promises concerning your destiny. Actually, there may not be any indication of hope in your situation. The above scripture says to delight yourself in the Lord, In other words, love the Lord with all your heart. When you enrich your soul with the love of the Lord, I am so sure in all situations you will be excited. 

Excitement in the Lord is like medicine to your heart, even if you don’t have any source of livelihood today. If your complete connection is in the Lord, you’re better than those with political influence because you’re in the palm of his hands (Isaiah 49:16). Since you’re engraved in God’s palm, you’re always his first priority. 

I am so confident that no matter how dark the cloud is, a new dawn will soon arise. Instead of breaking yourself down with bitterness and depression, you should rather encourage yourself in the Lord. As for me, I know my tomorrow will be all right and he hasn’t pulled me out of his glorious agenda for his loving people. 

God is always ready to grant the desires of our hearts when they are in connection with his purposes for our lives. Although some are delayed by forces of darkness, then you must pray always. Don’t just fold your hands thinking because you’re a child of God you will enjoy all privileges cheaply. Friend, remember Danial how he fasted and prayed for twenty-one days. When his answer finally arrived, the angel told him that another force of darkness stopped him. Glory be to God that we serve a faithful and merciful father. 

A Prayerful Person Is a Winning Fellow 

There is a saying that, if you don’t pray, you will become prey. The ability to grow in the Lord comes when we always communicate with the Creator. There is No achievement on earth without the link of Heaven for every child of God. The Psalmist says; you should commit your ways unto the Lord. He is saying to bring your plans before the Lord. 

A few days ago I was supposed to visit my younger brother, when he didn’t hear from me he called and asked, Sir, are you not coming? I said I am still waiting for the ‘go ahead’ on the visit. My point is that we must put God at the center of all our plans and steps. Until you have peace and a ‘go ahead’ from God, you don’t have to embark on any project. 

That reminds me, of a few years ago when a lady cried to me and said the man she was supposed to get married to in a week's time said he is longer interested after all arrangements had been made towards the day. I said; please let me pray concerning your request, I will talk to you tomorrow.

When I lifted my voice to heaven asking concerning the young man, I said Lord; your son said he is not no longer interested in your daughter, why Lord? I perceived in my spirit that the Lord said he is not my son! I called the lady and told her that I wanted to see him. He came to my house and I told him what the Lord said about him. Are you sure you’re in line with the Lord? He said, Yes Pastor.

Did you ask the Lord before you embarked on this relationship because I was told you’re a pastor also? He said No! And you went ahead until the medical report said you’re not compatible martially? I see why the Lord said you’re not his son because every true son will get his father informed and then wait for his approval. Please you must go back to the Lord and seek his mercy. That was my last meeting with them. 

You remember the woman with the issue of blood for twelve years, I think you’re familiar with her story in Matthew chapter nine verses twenty to twenty-two. She wasn’t poor. Scripture explained to us that she spent all. “And a woman having an issue of blood for twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,” Luke 8:43 KJV. She did what she hadn’t done approaching her issue of blood with earnest prayer.

She made up her mind that if only I touch Jesus, I will be made whole. Physicians will only do their best but the best of the best is in Christ Jesus. No matter what you’re going through today just take a step of trust towards the Lord, you will definitely testify of his goodness. From the very first day she trusted in the Lord, she moved toward him and her healing was confirmed.
