"Faith without works is dead". Prayer without works is mere exercise.
The blessings of God are pronounced upon us in fellowship with Him (in prayers) but they are manifested when we work. The harvest will rotten in the field no matter how bountiful if the farmer does not go to reap it in. We all have a major role to play if our appointed time must come as it shall.
Yesterday we noted that anything we accept as the will of God will maintain its course. To produce a desirable change we must CRY OUT.
We must be aware of the fact that anchoring the release of the appointed time of our breakthrough on God alone is a pointer to a sense of irresponsibility. The appointed time will not materialize unless you DO SOMETHING.
Exodus 3 chronicles the conversion between God and Moses. God had heard the cry of the Isrealities and He purposed to send the man Moses. Note that every move of God on the earth is always tied to a human vessel. God will not literally come down to bring a change, He uses man. That is why you must prepare to DO SOMETHING.
After prayers have been answered many people debate with God like Moses did instead of doing what they should do. No matter how fervent a woman is in prayers she must exert energy to push out the baby on the day of delivery. Prayer can produce the strength but the woman needs to use the strength.
To pray fervently and go to sleep afterwards is a 'criminal offense' in the spirit realm. Such attitude portrays God as a liar. After prayers have been answered, blessings are release and work is the next to make it spring forth. Without making a conscious effort to work in God's direction we strangle the seed of prayer.
The purpose of crying out is to obtain heaven's support. When He hears, HE EXPECTS YOU TO ACT!
Consider this scripture about the miracle of wine in the wedding at Cana of Galilee: "His mother saith to the servants, whatsoever He saith unto you, do it" - John 2:5. They needed to do as they were told. Jesus literally did nothing, all He did was to give instructions and there was a miracle.
Instructions of what we must do comes when we cry out to God but if we refuse to carry out those instructions, we have cried in vain. This is the reason why many people are crying without result. They are doing nothing!
If you don't fill your pot with water, the miracle wine (appointed time) may remain elusive. It is time to stop giving excuses, stop fidgeting in fear, start believing, start working. When God has done His part (in giving you instructions), do yours (in working at it) to enjoy the miraculous.
NB: If you don't have the whole picture of what to do, start with the little that you perceive. Where you have no direction whatsoever, it is clear that you need to CRY OUT to God. When your cry reaches Him He will issue out INSTRUCTIONS no matter how little it seems.
DO SOMETHING NOW!
