Bringing God's will to Pass

Friday 22 April
READ: 1 Kings 18: 41 - 46
MORE LESSON: Psa. 126: 1 - 3

God gave a word to Elijah that there would be rain after three and half years of drought. Elijah then gave the word to King Ahab and urged the king to go home quickly before the rain would start. That was a prophetic statement that was backed up by the Lord but Elijah did not stop at that; he went to a mountain and prayed till the clouds began to gather.
The Bible says, the Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it: Psa. 68:11. God might have spoken to you but it is also your responsibility to declare the word and pray your miracle into reality. God had spoken to Elijah and he knew that it was God's will for the rain to come but he still needed to engage the force of prayer for God's will to be down. It is God’s will that everything that has been a failure in your life be turned to success, joy and increase but you have to pray His will to fulfilment in your life.
God doesn't just perform miracles haphazardly; He does miracles in response to prayer and obedience to His Kingdom principles. God also does not do a miracle without a divine purpose. He does miracles to make His Kingdom come and His will to be done on earth. When you pray in accordance to the will of God and are devoted to the furtherance of the Kingdom on earth for His glory, you will live a life replete with miracles and answered prayers.
The testimony of the children of Israel when God answered their prayer is recorded in Ps 126:1-2, When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, The LORD has done great things for them. When their answer came, even the nations saw that the Lord had done great things for them. In like manner, your victory will not be a secret. The Lord is out to turn your captivity, fill your mouth and tongues with laughter and singing. He is out to give you testimonies by the victory He will give you. However, you must stay with God in unrelenting and earnest prayer till the Lord hastens to perform His Word concerning you.
Recall the projects you have abandoned out of frustration, dust them and re-present them to God. Many people like miracles but detest having any difficulty. A man who will have a testimony must necessarily pass through a stormy weather. So don't be afraid of difficulties, when they come as they must come anyway, present them to God in prayer and He will be glorified in them.
