“It
is written according to (Luke 18:2-8 GNT) “In a certain town there was a judge
who neither feared God nor respected people.
And there was a widow in that same town who kept coming to him and
pleading for her rights, saying, “Help me against my opponent!” For a long time the judge refused to act, but
at last he said to himself, “Even though I don’t fear God or respect people,
yet because of all the trouble this widow is giving me, I will see to it that
she gets her rights. If I don’t, she
will keep on coming and finally wear me out!”
And the Lord continued, “Listen to what that corrupt judge said, “Now
will God not judge in favour of His own people who cry to Him day and night for
help? Will He be slow to help them? I tell you, He will judge in their favour and
do it quickly.” What does this all say
to us about our requests for God’s favour when we ask in prayer for His help
and recognition in our times of need?
Well, you can be sure that God hears our prayers always and acts
accordingly to bring our justice and our rights to come to pass simply and
precisely when it’s needed and not a moment too soon or too late. I can vouch for this in my life, for just
yesterday, I was given God’s justice in a moment I thought would never come. His ways are far so superior to ours. Remember He is our Maker, and He knows far
more than we could ever imagine about ourselves, or others. The situation is this, that we must trust and
obey Him at all times, in the good times and in the bad when it seems we have
not been heard by Him for any of our requests to be fulfilled.
I am here to tell you that God Almighty is faithful
through and through, for He will always grant us favour and blessings, if we
choose to obey Him in our daily lives, by not grumbling and complaining about
certain matters that have not come to pass as we thought they should have in
our timing. This is the fundamental
truth, that to complain will hinder our progress, and as God is faithful, He
will grant us that which we are complaining of, for example: if we have been
waiting for a long time- that’s what you’ll get- more of the same. The only way to end the frustration of
waiting in those times would be to, firstly repent of the complaining about the
matter in general,
and to give it all over to God by “letting go and letting God” on the situation
at hand. A short prayer of faithfulness
is all that God requires of us, and surely He will respond at the perfect time
we could never foresee, simply and promptly—
*”Lord
Jesus I humbly repent of all the times I have grumbled and complained in my
justification for my rights to be served me by you. I repent of it all now, and recognise my
errors. Help me by your grace Lord Jesus
to be patient in the waiting for you to act quickly when you see it of an
advantage for me, by washing me clean now from all my sins which have hindered
my progress in matters, with your precious blood you shed at Calvary on that
cross for my redemption and pardon from my sins to date, that I might find
favour in your sight, and give you praise in all my situations, that you will
carry me to the finish and completion of every prayer request I have asked for
in Jesus’ name, Amen! And may the Holy
Spirit endow me with your grace of patience and confidence when I say, I let go
and I let God in this situation.
Help
me Lord Jesus to remember all that you have already done for me, and never
return to worrying and complaining again, with your precious bloodline drawn
over the whole lots now and forever, Amen!”
