A brother was seeking the face of God for divine anointing and a better relationship with God so he decided to embark on a 3-day marathon fast. On the second day, God spoke to him through Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know”
On the third day, he was expecting to hear God probably in some audible voice or see an angel walk into his room to anoint his tongue with coal of fire but none of it happened. Instead, he felt a subtle compelling force leading him to take a stroll outside, for a moment, he thought he will encounter an angelic visitation outside his house but instead, he saw a little child playing with sand and singing:
“Read your Bible pray every day,
pray every day, pray every day,
Read your Bible pray every day,
If you want to grow!”
After waiting for a long time without any supernatural manifestation, he turned back in angrily. Again the Lord spoke to him through Genesis 28:16 “When Jacob woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it.” At this point, he started getting worried if he missed something, he suddenly became calm and in that calmness, it dawned on him that God had spoken through that child, the answer to his three days marathon is contained in the words of that song ‘Read your Bible and Pray every day if you want to grow’
It turns out that the secrete to great spiritual power is not in deep things but something as simple as reading your bible and praying consistently; the only problem is that it’s not as simple as it sounds.
Let’s do a simple test, when last did you actually read your bible and prayed? Before that time when was the last time? You see! Real power does not come in going to the mountain once in a year only to live carnally for the remaining part of the year. No, it comes from consistently being with the Lord listening to him, and doing his will. When we do this, we create the atmosphere for God to speak to us through anything your boss, the billboard Advert, and even the roadside gossip. You can not put him in a box, God works in mysterious ways.
So, where is your bible again? Pick it up, read it up and get on your kneel to speak with your heavenly father now, he’s willing, able, and ready to speak with you.
