One day after preparing to go out, I looked at my hand and was so surprised to see that my wrist is now looking fairer than all the parts of my body. Could it be my cream and why am I just noticing this? I thought.
On a second thought I remembered that this place has often been covered by my wristwatch. It dawned on me that the mark was given to me by my leather wrist watch.
Wow! So my consistency in wearing a wristwatch has left an evidence or a mark on my body.
In the same way, If you see a chain smoker, observe the colour of his teeth and see that the smoke has left an evidence on his teeth. Even without a cigar you will know he has interacted
with cigarette. If you see a drunk, he wakes up in the morning uncoordinated even when he has taken no wine.
If you see someone who uses glasses, it leaves a mark at the sides of his face..
If you see someone that gyms, it leaves an evidence on his body building.
Beloved, when a man begins to seek God in prayers and the word, it leaves an evidence on him. Suddenly the fear of the future begins to fade... New hope begins to rise.. He sees the sick and feels like laying his hands... He begins to speak wisdom when he talks... You suddenly become bold as a lion. You suddenly discover that even though you lack money but you are rich... And so you say "silver and gold I have not but what I have I give thee... Rise up and walk"! You cannot interact with God's Spirit continually and the evidence will not be there...
The apostles discovered the evidence that followed them and then said.. "let's give ourselves to Prayer and the Ministry of God's word". Brethren... Power failure in Christians is due to prayer/word failure.
