THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

PRAYING WITH A VOW

PRAYING WITH A VOW

SCRIPTURE:1 SAMUEL 1:8-12
DEVOTIONAL “Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head” (Vs. 11).

    Praying with a vow is a catalyst to our prayers being answered. This is because, God has needs as much as we have needs. God is in need of men and women who will help Him to carry out His plan on earth (John 4:23). He needs people who will allow Him to use them to touch other people’s lives so as to perfect His will (Ezekiel 22:30).

When Hannah prayed in her time, she could discover one of the needs of Israel and made a vow. No one trained his or her child to serve the Lord faithfully. At that time, people indoctrinated their children to take to other professions so that they can become rich, but Hannah made a vow to release her son to serve the Lord and she fulfilled it.  Most parent are also like the people of the time of Hannah in this generation. There was no king or ruler in the land at that time, yet God answered her prayers.

Friend, when you place a need before the Lord in prayers, try to know the needs of the house of God or of the servant of the Lord and strive to meet them. Be careful about making empty promises because God hates that. When you have it in heart (to meet such needs), heaven will approve your prayers so that the needs of God might be met through you. Learn to be as prompt as Hannah was in making and fulfilling her vow. As you do this, your prayers will be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be mindful of your needs

“WHEN YOU MEET THE NEEDS OF GOD, HE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS”.
