MESSAGE:
In Matthew 26:36-46 , Jesus separated Himself from His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane to seek Gods face concerning His death on the cross. He prayed hard until His physical strength gave way to supernatural strength. In fact, He groaned in prayers until His sweat became as thick as blood. He repeated the same prayer request three times, yet God did not change His mind. From this, we can learn that no amount of prayer can cause God to negate His plans or purpose for your life. Rather than wasting your time and effort praying that God will change His word, ask to know His will and request for the special grace to align with it.
I remember Mummy G.O. and I fasted and prayed for 14 days, requesting that God would change His mind from choosing us to become pastors, not to talk of General Overseer, but God didnât answer. Malachi 3:6 says:
âFor I am the LORD, I change notâŠâ
Godâs personality and His words cannot change. However, He may decide to change a situation as He deems fit. Has God promised you something? Keep trusting in Him, praise Him, fellowship more with Him, study His word and remain steadfast in faith.
KEY POINT:
As long as God cannot change, all will be well with you.
HYMN: O Worship The King
