THE MYSTERY OF BELATED PRAYERS


Prayer is an act of worshiping and praising God. It is a way of presenting our request to God and it is a way through which we converse with Him. More importantly, it is the spiritual respiratory system of Christians. Prayer is the spiritual invisible cable through which God blesses and strengthen us which has the ability to release what we cannot ordinarily accessed. Prayer is the key for everybody who is willing to accept God’s words. Nevertheless, people may scorn our words, toss our appeal, discard our message or oppose our argument but they cannot stand against our prayers.

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (KJV). Phil. 4:6

Prayer is timeless because it is capable and effective, such that it can touch the toughest heart, the powerful and can even go through distance we cannot stretch. You can subsist without a sermon but not without prayers. Prayer can do and undo and it can turn things around. Prayer is timely, if you are complacency about the importance prayer, then it can be belated and the repercussion that follows such action will be grave and great mercy will be required if such prayer will be answered.  Most suffering and pains we pass through might be as a result of belated prayers. Objectively, you are born for a reason and a season; this same principle is applicable to been timely with prayer.

”To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace” (KJV). Ecc.3:1, 8

 There are some prayers we pray fervently but unfortunately they are already late because we are supposed to have said these prayers yester years. Have you heard these proverbs that, “a stitch in hand saves more than nine, medicine after death or Pray now so that you will not pray later”. On time prayer is better than belated prayers. Why this statement? When prayers are belated, opportunities are lost, destinies are delayed, systems are changed, heritage and possessions are lost and kings and princes become slaves.

What are belated prayers?
They are prayers and sacrifices are offered, actions that are done, behind schedule or time.  Most of the time, when belated prayers are offered, the season of that person has gone. Belated prayers are those prayers we pray after our opportunity has by-passed us. Does it then means that God cannot answer every prayer? No. God can answer every prayer but within a specific time or period. By the time you are offering belated prayers, things, time and opportunity has changed. One minute prayer can save your life if you refuse to pray. At that instance, you will eventually pray and fast and you may not get the actual result. If you pray belated prayers, you may not get the right result or answer like someone who is timely with his or her prayers according to His will. 

Jesus prayed on time prayer, so why are you praying belated prayer? Most of the time when we apply the “fire brigade approach” to issues in our life that requires fervent prayer, the end product of such is what I call belated prayers. Parents do not wait for such perilous times; begin to pray for your children now because once their times pass, there is nothing else you can do. Pray now so that you don’t pray later with a price.

”Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt”(KJV). Matt 26:36-39

Jesus knew there was problem coming so He prayed. Why do not you pray now so that when problem comes, you can be strengthened to overcome it. In the next edition of the blossom, practical examples from the Bible shall be explored with Jesus Christ as our center focus. I strongly believe that this message is timely and it is the right panacea you have been waiting for so that God can arise on your behalf and disgrace every stubborn enemy that has held you in bondage and you will be free indeed in Jesus name, remain blessed.

MEDITATE
·     The resurrection power of Jesus Christ is the most powerful event in the Human history.
·     The law of resurrection is superior and it works better than the law of lift and aerodynamics.
·     The resurrection power defies all blockages, barriers and bondage and it destroys every               ordinance. It also guarantees total victory in every area of life.
·     The blood of Jesus is your surest guarantee against the upsurge of the devil.
·    The blood of Jesus was shed thousands of years ago yet it is potent over all sicknesses, affliction and wickedness of the devil.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
·    No matter how far your adversaries have gone, the Lord will nullify their wickedness in your life!
·   Whatever went down in your life or wherever you have stepped down in shame, the power of resurrection will lift you again!
·    As death could not hold Jesus captive in the grave, likewise nothing I mean nothing will hold you down again in life!
·     The rest of your days will be the best of your living on earth!
·     By the reason of the blood of Jesus, nothing good will pack up in your system again!
·     I declare sound health upon your bones and blood!
·     As from now on, nothing will stop you any more in life!
                                                                                               In Jesus Name
