Thursday Prayer Program Topic: My Change Must Come! Texts: Job 14:14; 2 Kings 2: 11-13. Rom. 8:19. Confessions: The good hand of the Lord is upon me and He will surely lift me from where I am to where I should be in Jesus name. Exhortation: And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?( Gen 3:9). This may seem like an ordinary question but it is a poser to a whole destiny and generation. The expansion of this question could be like this: why are you not where you are meant to be? What drove you out of your assigned haven? How will the angels assigned to you be able to work for you in that place, since that is not their place of primary assignment? So many questions! Like Adam, many of us are not where we are supposed to be. For Adam, the problem came from disobedience. For others, it could be an enemys action; for some, it could be a deficiency of vision and yet for some, it could be a conspiracy of adverse season and time. Every where art thou situation calls for a change- from the valley to the hilltop; affliction to wholeness, partial success to total success; emptiness to fullness. Job wanted a change. He had been buffeted by spiritual forces outside his control but he believed that his change would come. If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come, he said in Job 14:14. Elisha wanted a change. He wanted power. He worked for it and he was prepared to take it from his master: Elijah. He never rested until he got the mantle( 2Kings 2:11-13). Everyone needs a change. No matter your riches, reach, success and grace, there is always a need for change. Life is like a wheel: it rolls all the time to offer new realities. The lesson of infinity and eternity is this: nothing is final or concluded, even after death! So, change is real and must be seen as such. But the question is this? What type of change do you want? Upward progression? Increasing returns? A new launch or leap into favour? A break from retardation and relegation? A new honour? They are possible and you will have them in Jesus name. Romans 8:19 says: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. This is the real change: your manifestation! The whole heaven and earth are waiting for this. The world does not buy potentials: it buys actualities. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing: other people judge us by what we have done! This is why you need to pray today, that your change must come. Every road leads to the winner: you will win today in Jesus name! Amen. Shalom. Prayers: Please, sing this song meditatively and prayerfully: I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Chorus: Lord, lift me up, and let me stand By faith on Canaan’s tableland; A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground. 1 Jesus: lifter up of my head, hallowed be your name! 2.
