Be an Answered Prayer to Someone
Bible in one year: 1Sam 6-10
Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage.Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Phil2:3-4 MSG
While you are waiting for God to answer your prayers, do you realize that you are also a tool in God’s hands that He can use in answering the prayers of others. Take a look around you, you will discover there is at least one person whose prayer to God you can answer.
In Acts 10, Cornelius was an answer to the prayers of several people around him through giving of alms. This he did consistently until heaven remembered him for good. Nothing more proves our selflessness and willingness to distribute the blessings of God which are key to God.
As you help people around you by meeting their needs, you provoke the Favour of God upon your life. As the popular saying I love so much Goes; what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you also.
Words of counsel, encouragement, companionship, demonstration of love and care, financial assistance etc can be someone’s greatest need at the moment. You can be the answer.
PRAYER:
Lord help me see myself not just as seeker from today but as an instrument in your hand for meeting the needs of people around me. Amen
