Sometimes we pray for a condition to change but still it remains the same. And we’re wondering why that condition is still the same despite our prayers. Well, may be it’s not that condition that needs to change, may be you’re the one to change.
God’s way is not our ways, and sometimes He doesn’t answer our prayers the way we want because He knows best. Changing our situation is easy when we become a changed person. Until a person is changed, whatever help is rendered to Him/her may not last long. For instance, it will be a waste of resources to bless a man who lacks financial management with 1 billion naira. If that money doesn’t destroy him, It’s just a matter of time, such a man will return to poverty and his condition may be worse. Sometimes we’re praying that our spouse changes whereas the major change should come from us, etc.
Whenever we come to God, His attention is more on transforming and building us up, before dealing with the situation. Without doubt, there are times He deals with the situation first, but not all the times.
Job 22:23-24 NKJV says
[23] If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; You will remove iniquity far from your tents. [24] Then you will lay your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
You see that, God takes interest in building us first before blessing us with gold and the likes (Proverbs 22:24) so that the blessing will last and not destroy us. This sometimes is hard to for us to admit but that’s the truth.
So, what changes have you been praying for? Is it concerning your spouse, finances, ministry, business or career? Could you be the one that needs to change first? Think about these!
