God never ceases to amaze us. It is just that we have restricted the manifestation of God in our lives to 'big things' such as healing us, giving us a breakthrough and the likes of miracles.
But our God is a God that does miracles every day in our lives. And so as Christians we need to develop the habit of praying over everything even over the 'little silly things' that happen to us.
God is bent down on showing to us that just as He is not small for any situation same too He is not too big for any situation.
Is it that there is power outage and you need to iron your shirt to go for an important meeting or is that you forgot where you kept that precious jewellery of yours? God wants us to call on him even in the craziest and silliest situation in which we find ourselves.
And so develop the habit of praying for the leading of the Holy Spirit as you go through the day; for the angels of God to go ahead of you and secure your blessings, your breakthrough, your success, etc; for the presence of God to grant you favour in the eyes of men; for the power of God to make every crooked way straight and for the blood of Jesus to speak better things for you.
Some will call it mere coincidence, others will call it luck but as Christians our Bible tells us that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord.
God wants us to develop that daily relationship with Him. He does not want us to come rushing to him in panic when we are in trouble. He wants us to be in constant communication with Him through our thoughts. He does not want us to set particular time for prayer as in morning when you wake up or evening before you sleep. He wants us to feel free with Him and know that He will always have time for us. Is He not our father?
When we recognize God's hand in our daily walks of lives, we will live a life of gratitude, rejoicing always in the Lord and as a man of God said 'if you thank God for His finger in your life, He will show you His hands.' Failure to acknowledge these doings of the Lord, belittling them, taking them for granted will push us to live a life of ingratitude and murmuring.
From now on live life knowing that God is always listening to us and waiting for us to call Him so don't defer the calling, call Him now, call Him always. Live knowing that He has placed angels to be in charge of us so that our feet shall not hit a stone and on judgment day these angels will be accountable to us and they are at our service. Live life as the child of God knowing Jesus is your elder brother.
To end let me narrate these amazing happenings.
A man was doing a small repair on his car when a small part of it fell in the grass. He and his elder son started looking for it but couldn't find. His younger son came home after playing with friends and asked them what they were doing. When told, the boy asked the father whether they had prayed first and the answer was no. So he said "dad let's pray." So the boy prayed asking God to help them find that small missing part. Immediately after the prayer, the man went down, put his hands in the grass and retrieved the part.
Two men were having a discussion. One of them was writing a letter but his pen was giving him a bit of a problem because the ink was not flowing properly. He bowed down his head and said a short prayer. The other man asked him what he did and he responded that he was praying about the pen because the letter he was writing was a very important one.
Now this is my personal experience. One Sunday, I left the house ten minutes to seven for the morning service that starts at seven. I walked towards the taxi rank to take a taxi. But as I approached the rank, I realized there was no taxi. Not just that no taxi passed by. I started praying saying "God please send me a taxi. The service is only ninety minutes. If I am late even for ten minutes I will miss so much of the service. God please send me a taxi." Walking to my church will take me about fifteen minutes and it was five minutes to seven. When I reached the taxi rank and was about to branch and start my foot journey to the church, the Spirit of the Lord told me to slow down. Am late, no taxi and I should slow down? Well I did slow down. The Spirit further directed me to look in a particular direction out of the six different roads that met at the junction I was standing and lo and behold I saw an empty taxi coming towards me. I stopped the taxi, told the driver where I was going and sat in it without negotiating the price. I got to church before the service started and the taxi driver charged me much lesser than other drivers did on other Sundays.
These testimonies of God answering a prayer is not about God healing someone, giving someone a job, blessing someone with the fruit of the womb; it is about God intervening in the daily little problems we face.
Everyday will be a testimony for you if you develop that attitude of prayer, praying over everything.
Be blessed in Jesus mighty name.
