TABLE IT BEFORE GOD

December 23, 2014

In a corporate setting, any request any of the management staff have, would most likely be taken to the management meeting where they would all deliberate over it and then agree as to what to do about it. Same way a child would go to his/her father and show him the academic bill for the new term/semester, so that the man can make arrangements for how to make the payment. We all have someone somewhere that we always table our needs before, unfortunately, majority of us go to mortal men who also need help.

In Isa 36, a certain man named Rabshakeh started threatening Hezekiah and his people. He went further to say that not even God can save Jerusalem from the attack of the king of Assyria. This report was a bad one for Hezekiah and his people, to make matters worse, another letter was sent to Hezekiah that, “Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” Many times this is what the devil does. “Do you think your God can pay this huge debt?” “Do you think your God can heal this kind of disease?” “Don’t you think this problem is too big for your God to handle?”

However, Bible says in Isa 37:15 that, “And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD,” and the Bible says in verse 36 that, “The Angel of the Lord struck the Assyrian camp and 185,000 died. By the time the day broke, they were all dead. Even Sennacherib the king of Assyria who thought he had escaped was killed by his own sons. 2 Chron 7:14 says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

However hard that situation is, take it to God in prayer!
