ARISE AND PRAY


May 14, 2013


I recently heard the story of a woman that said that in her family, they are bookworms. She went further to say that all the children in that family were always coming out with “A” grades.  She said that almost all of them in the family are chartered or have completed their professional certificate in all their chosen careers. However, she said that none of them can boast of a roof over his or her head except her.

Thank God for the power of prayer that got this woman delivered and today she said she is the bread winner in that house.

There is no point been brilliant without having any result to show for it. What is the point in graduating on top of the class yet jobless for years? What is the sense in been called a beautiful and goodly to behold lady, yet at 35 years of age, there is no suitor? What is the essence of been called a child of God, yet you are a regular object of molestation and ridicule in the hands of Satan? What is the essence of having a business office in the most profitable area of the town, yet you experience the lowest and profitless patronage in town.

Friends, listen to me very well, the enemy does not want you to shine, it is your job to determine within yourself that whether the devil likes it or not, you will shine. We all quote Isaiah 60:1 that says “Arise, Shine.” But there is a point to note there which is that you must arise. To arise is a personal decision. It is like waking up during a cold morning, you can decide to keep sleeping or you stand up to go out.

I am urging us to arise and pray. Arise and take charge. Arise and take authority over every stain on your garment. Arise and claim back your throne. Arise and refuse to be tossed up and down by the enemies.

I pray that henceforth, you cease to be an object of reproach and shame in the hands of the enemies in Jesus Name. Amen!
