TOPIC : THE CREATIVE POWER OF PRAYER
TEXT 1 Samuel 7:6-9
[6]And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
[7]And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
[8]And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
[9]And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
Samuel was a god- man.
He was the governing gate-keeper of Ramah.
He grew in prayer and holiness until everything within that geographical periphery bowed to him.
Nothing entered Ramah without his permission.
When you give yourself to intense prayers, you become the gate keeper of your locality.
You begin to declare what you want to see and what you do not want to see, what you want to happen and what you do not want to happen.
God the Monach of this universe does nothing without first telling some humans.
If even God must speak to some people, the satan should because of you avoid your spiritual locality and all those under your sphere because you are God's appointed police officer for your locality.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
