Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂

Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
📌

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
📍
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our lives?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,

This short drama is still playing out in our days.

Jesus noticed this man who had been sick, stagnant and hopelessly hopeless.

He had been there for 38yrs.
Obviously, he was not born there. He was probably dumped there by his parents.

2.
He was probably a teenager with dreams and aspiration when calamity struck, and had to be dumped there when his parents got tired of taking care of him.

Obviously, he had been in his new "residence" even before Jesus was born.... been crippled for 38yrs. WOW 😳

3.
📌
Matthew 5v6-12 TPT
When Jesus saw him lying there, he knew that the man had been crippled for a long time. So Jesus said to him, “Do you truly long to be healed?”

To cut the long story short, the crippled man was healed
📌

4.
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your sleeping mat and you will walk!”
9 Immediately he stood up—he was healed! So he rolled up his mat and walked again! Now this miracle took place on the Jewish Sabbath.

Now, watch this in V10

5.
📌
The leaders who did not see him when he was in abject poverty and pain, suddenly saw him when he was delivered. They never came to his aid...infact, he must have been a good sport to watch. Rather than rejoice with him, they began to use their reggae to spoil his blues.

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME- KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED
📌
You see, With God, keeping our fingers crossed connotes probability.

God doesn't make predictions. He makes promises and He keeps them. We must believe in order to receive.

2.
Habakkuk 2v3 AMP
For the vision is yet for AN APPOINTED TIME and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it, because it will SURELY come; it will not be behindhand on ITS APPOINTED DAY.

3.
I deliberately changed some very key words in the passage to CAPITAL LETTERS to really drive home what God requires.

1. AN APPOINTED TIME.
Yes, there is an APPOINTED TIME. It may look like your "time" has passed in your eyes and in the eyes of everyone around you,

4.
but, the truth is, who set the time, you or God?
Time may have passed, but, your SET TIME has not.

2. IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT.
God's word neither deceives nor disappoint.
📌
Joshua 21:45 MSG
Not one word failed from all d good words God spoke to the house of Israel

5.
Everything came out right.

At your SET TIME, everything will come out right. All the discouraging stuffs you are seeing now are all working for your good. You will see clearly at the end.

3. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it,

A LONG EXHORTATION

THEME - What if...

Woke up this morning with a puzzling question in my spirit. Dint pay much attention to it, but, as I got out of bed to begin my morning & daily drill of 60mins-90mins of Thanksgiving, that question again interrupted my thoughts 💬.

2.
The question was just packaged in two words....WHAT IF?

Before I could process the thoughts, a barrage of other questions began to roll in, and then, I knew I had to UP my game in my daily Thanksgiving drill.

You see, I do this Thanksgiving "drill" every morning before I

3.
progress to praying in the spirit and then in my understanding and with relevant bible passages. (Thanksgiving is key to my relationship with God, because, I Know this for sure...THE UNGRATEFUL CARRIES A MARK OF RESENTMENT)

NOW;

4.
What if you woke up this morning and you began to "knock" on the gates of heaven, and as you did, an angel appeared and told you, "hey, sorry bro/sis, God is still resting. He had a busy day yesterday, and cannot attend to anyone until 4pm...")

5.
What if you knocked on heaven's gate and was denied access because, the accuser of the brethren just used his reggae to spoil your blues the previous night

What if you needed to pour out libations before seeing God?

A SHORT EXHORTATION

Theme- ...God, you "Deceived" me -Prophet Jeremiah

Jeremiah accused God of deceiving him, yes, you read right. No he did not, you might say, o yes he sure did 🙆🏽‍♂️😱
📌
Jeremiah 20:7a KJV
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived...

2.
Incidentally, he was in the "WILL OF GOD" doing exactly what God told him to do. He was speaking the mind of God, yet, he was arrested, thoroughly lashed and thrown in solitary confinement.

"What's going on here? " he asked.
"This can't be happening to me, I'm in the will of

3.
God for crying out loud" yada, yada, yada

How can a "whole Prophet" accuse God of deceiving him, we may ask. Well, he did.

Things were not going the way he thought they would. He had expected the hearers of God's message to be trembling with fear at the godly warning of

4.
impending doom he was dishing out.

He was largely frustrated and disappointed. "Lord, this must be a joke, and if it is, it ain't funny at all..."

You see, when one is in this "precarious state," all manner of stuffs may begin to manifest. While some will pray for strength

5.
to go on to the end, others may be nagging and complaining, and sadly, many fall into the latter category.

Well, we must understand that even in the will of God, unpleasant things do happen.

Even in the will of God, we can grow weary, tired, disappointed, discouraged,
