Memorise:
Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown:
yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon
them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Isaiah 40:24
Read: Isaiah 40:22-24
22 It is he that
sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as
grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them
out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the
princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not
be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root
in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the
whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Message
Jacob's experience at Peniel reveals that prayer addresses
the foundation of problems (Genesis 32:24-30). In other words, it tackles the
root cause. Most times, when attempts are made to solve a problem, the focus is
on the peripheral or at the surface level. When you attack the symptoms of a
problem but leave its roots, the problem may seem to fizzle out for a moment,
only for it to make a powerful, formidable comeback. Prayer is so important
that it can cause problems to receive queries from Heaven. After Jacob prayed,
the root of his problems received a query from God. Genesis 32:27 says:
"And he said
unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob."
As you pray, God will query the foundation of your problems!
The foundation of Jacob's problem was his name. As he prayed, there was a
divine shake-up. Some people do not believe that prayer can tackle problems
emanating from their ancestry. They believe that since the particular problem
affecting every member of their family from one generation to another began
several generations ago, nothing can be done about it, especially if the person
it all started with is dead. Nothing can be further from the truth! Why is
Jesus the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End if He cannot go into the
past and undo evil deeds? From today, as you pray, the Lord will query the
foundation of your problems.
The foundation of a problem quakes when God queries it. The
foundation of that nagging problem in your life, family, workplace and ministry
receives a divine query today! It begins to quake now! God is a specialist at
dealing with roots. In Isaiah 40:24, God declared thus:
"Yea, they shall
not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take
root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and
the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble."
When God queries the foundation of a problem, the roots will
no longer hold it down. That means the days of that problem are numbered. That
long-standing situation that has caused you so much pain, tears and sorrow is
receiving a divine query now! Its roots will no longer hold you down. The root
of that problem has just lost its grip over your life in Jesus' Name.
Prayer Point:
Father, by Your word, blow upon my problems and let them
wither from their roots today.
