*Acts 9:40 MSG*
Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: "Tabitha, get up."
ππΌ
It's an entirely different ballgame when you speak directly to a situation.
ππΌ
There is tremendous power backing up the
Word of God when spoken directly at Anything tangible or intangible .
ππΌPeter had nothing to offer the man by the beautiful game... He only had the Word and that made all the difference to the crippled beggar..
ππΌ Ezekiel spoke to very dry bones & the bones were restored &
eventually became an exceeding great army. ( *Just think about it for a second* )
ππΌWith Elijah's word, the impossible happened. The sunk iron axe-head floated from the bottom of the river, while the wooden handle sank.
ππΌBy the spoken Word of Jesus, a gold coin was found in
the mouth of a fish to pay tax
ππΌBy His spoken Word directly to Lazarus, He commanded him to come forth, and, he who had been dead for four days came back to life.
ππΌ
Here's the catch...God has exalted His Word even above His name & He backs it up with His integrity.πͺπ»
*Speak directly to;*
ππΌYour business
ππΌYour marriage
ππΌYour health
ππΌYour FINANCES
ππΌYour Womb
ππΌSpeak to every dead, dying, crawling or confusing. You can even call forth those things that be not as if they were.

Got several messages, comments and the likes from people who still have this belief that the Church should cease from praying and "diversify" into providing roads, stable electricity, good health care, etc
Well, for starters, the Church of
Christ cannot be held responsible for the failure of Government to provide basic, very basic amenities. Those ruling NIGERIA, from the federal level to the LG level, were either voted in or imposed on us by other means possible to do these things.
Elected officials the world over, have a minimum standard vis-a-vis citizen's expectations.
Therefore, the church cannot be held responsible for government's ineptitude.
The church cannot and should not be held responsible for poor educational facilities, poor electricity, poor
Proverbs 28:12b NKJV
...But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.
Everyone seem to be in hiding, Killers and their sponsors seem to be on a killing spree and the nation looks helpless. Not anymore in Jesus name.
This is what God says;
Jeremiah 48v28 MSG
"Leave town! Leave! Look for a home in the cliffs...(whether they are foreign killers or locally sponsored killers, the Lord says, "leave town")
Jeremiah 50:25 KJV
The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: (
The Lord has opened His armoury)
They will bare the wrath of God.
They have sown wind.
Hosea 8:7 KJV
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:
Let all those sponsoring terror, bloodshed, banditry, kidnapping reap the whirlwind of God
We cannot afford 2 stp praying 4 NIG..We may nt see d obvious results we desire nw, it is still inconceivable to stop. God is @ work.Imagine wat wld ve happened if we stopped praying...like I said, it is better imagined, dan experienced. Nothing done to us that Prayer cannot undo
Stopping is exactly what the devil wants and we cannot afford to give him the joy of satisfaction.
It's part of our job description as itemized in
Jeremiah 1:10 MSG
See what I've done? I've given you a job to do among nations and governments - a red-letter day! Your job is to
pull up and tear down, take apart and demolish, And then start over, building and planting." Stand Up and Say Your Piece
We must be seen to perform our job.
We pray
We point our their weakness
And we do the needful as citizens too.
