I thought that when people pray, and they receive the answers to their prayers, they go ahead and give testimony! Then they proceed to ask for another need, and they receive the answer and give testimony; and throughout life continue the circle!
I thought that as much and as long as you have faith in God, you keep asking and receiving!
But alas! Something has changed in the way I see God and answers to prayers!
Please teach me if you understand better after going through this piece! I want to learn.
Kindly follow my drift and endure to read with me!!!!
I have realised that I don't need more than ONE MIRACLE WITH GOD'S SIGNATURE in my whole lifetime!
This is the God who created all things! Then created me in His IMAGE &LIKENESS to rule over all creation. He didn't create me to begin to beg Him for what I need! He finished providing all I will ever need before He brought me out. I am not an accident or an after thought on earth!
God's signature has properties!
The devil can answer prayers and give you things. The devil can give you wealth, riches, honour, spouses and anything material blessings!
Look at this story:
Hannah prayed for a son and waited for God; God eventually gave her a son who became a priest, a prophet, the judge of Isreal and a kingmaker!
Can anyone tell me the names of all the sons of Peninnah?
1 Samuel 1:4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
The answer to Hannah's prayer had the signature of God!
His blessings makes rich and adds no sorrows.
Elisha prayed for the woman of Shunem to have a son. When the son suddenly died, the woman knew her blessing was from God, so she knew what to do and she got her son back alive!
Later, there was famine and the woman left the country. On her coming back after seven years, her land and all she had had been taken over and nobody remembered her again!
Her testimony with God's signature brought back all she lost and much more!
[2Ki 8:3]] KJV* And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.* And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.*
- And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.* And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
One more story:
Three kings went for a battle. When they got to where they would camp for the battle, there was no water for the horses to drink!
Imagine going for a war in the desert without water; and you are using animals as vehicles for your archers, spear men, Chariots and even for supplies to fight!
Therefore, Jehoram the son of Jezebel, the king of Isreal said, Surely, God has brought us to destroy us!
Thank God for one that had relationship with God though heavily yoked and compromised with those he should not have!
He suggested the divine approach!
Water came for them without rain or dew according to the word of the prophet; they were already satisfied because God had answered their prayers.
But God wanted to show His signature.
The Moabites saw the water,and thought it was blood! Their intuition told them to go for the spoils of the war(that they had not fought).
They rushed there unarmed and were destroyed!
The war was over!
[[2Ki 3:22]] KJV And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:* And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.* And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
When you pray, please check for God's signature on your answer.
