DON’T CANCEL YOURSELF OUT

“And he said, about this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.” 2 Kings 4:16 (KJV)

Do you know we have people who have confined some prayer requests to the archives? They no longer believe that God can still answer some prayers because they have prayed for years and it appears nothing has happened. Some have said: “That debt can never be repaid. Let’s forget about having children and just keep serving God until Jesus comes. God can answer other people but not us.” They are standing on the fact that: medically speaking, both the man and the woman are not able to produce a baby.

But Elisha, the prophet of God looked at the woman and said: “…About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son.” And it came to pass according to the prophetic word. Yours too will come to pass.

Don’t be in the company of those who come to church and when prophetic words from God are released, they will just joke, laugh with it and cancel themselves out amongst those that it will happen to. No! I dare you to receive every prophetic word as yours and you will see God honour His word. The prophet of God spoke to the woman according to the word of God and it came to pass. You are next in line to testify.

The earth is filled with God’s goodness and so I declare that the goodness of the earth shall be released in your favour. Your children will not be frustrated. Your children will not be confused and discouraged. Heaven will respond to you.

Beloved, God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Your labour of love will not go unrewarded. God is on your side. You will shock your world. You will pull out a surprise. Keep on believing God. He will come through for you and you shall be celebrated.
