Mark 11:24 ‘Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.’
DAILY READING; • Day 126 – Acts 17:1-15; Judges 6; Job 36
Reinhard Bonnke, the founder of Christ for all Nations (CfAN) is regarded as the father of modern-day crusades in Africa. It is estimated that over 79 million people converted to Christianity as a result of his ministry.
In the early 1980’s Bonnke needed a fleet of eighteen specially-built, 6-wheel-drive trucks to transport his massive crusade tents across Africa. These trucks would be the kind that could not get stuck in mud roads and which could take off cross-country when there were no roads.
However these trucks which were specially manufactured in Germany were estimated at $4 million. It was money which Bonnke did not have. But Bonnke knew the power of prayer. As he prayed, God provided the needed trucks miraculously from unexpected quarters.
Unknown to Bonnke, the Libyan revolutionary leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi had also ordered the exact fleet of specially-designed trucks that Bonnke needed.
However, due to Gaddafi’s support of terrorism, his country Libya had been placed under trade embargoes by Western countries. And so Gaddafi had to secretly use third-party purchasing agents to order the trucks from West Germany.
When the West German government learned that the buyer was Gaddafi, they stopped the sale. The manufacturers, eager to sell off these specially designed trucks, put them on the market for a give away price.
When Bonnke got the information he was able to raise the money and purchased the trucks at a ridiculously low price.. And so he suddenly had the special transportation to carry his revival tent. These trucks originally designed for Gaddafi, to carry rockets and bombs, became an instrument for carrying the Gospel across Africa.
When we sincerely cry out to God in prayer, He can cause help to arise from strange quarters.
Indeed the altar of prayer is the altar of turnarounds. Prayer is the platform for provoking divine interventions.
Through prayer you can overturn every resistance to your progress and enforce a supernatural change of story.
God has called us unto glory and virtue, and not to shame. You are a candidate for a glorious life. You are born a wonder to your world. You are not meant to be stranded. Thing are meant to always work for you.
Whatever tries to hinder your forward movement can be silenced when you assume the responsibility of prayer.
Your becoming a wonder this year will not be accidental. It will be the result of deliberately assuming spiritual responsibility. The truth is that if you do nothing, you will see nothing. But through prayer you can fight your way into the fulfillment of the prophecies spoken over you.
Already the race for this year has begun. The whistle has been blown. What you do now will determine if you will indeed end up as a wonder.
Therefore, now is the time to pay the price to see a glorious year. Fasting may seem unpalatable but it is a necessary price. Therefore do not limit what God can do in your life by limiting your spiritual responsibility.
Be prepared to seek God in a new and greater dimension through diligent study of His Word and prayers. Make a greater commitment to live holy, to walk in purity and in power. And always remain thankful and praise-full.
Indeed as we pray the required spiritual price in this season, our lives will surely become a wonder to everyone around us.
PRAYER
Father, thank You for granting me the grace to become spiritually responsible. Surely, as I pay the price of fasting and praying in this season, I know I shall see inexplicable miracles, signs and wonders manifesting in my life in Jesus’ Name.
