COMPLELLING UNWILLING HELPERS
Memorise: But the Lord said
unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before
the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15
From Acts 9:1-20, we understand that prayer makes
things happen. Another lesson we can derive from this passage is that prayer
compels unwilling helpers to help you. For everyone that God has sent to planet
earth, there are helpers appointed to help each person at different points in
life. Access to these helpers and their God-ordained help has a lot to do with
how you can earnestly pray. Helpers are of different categorises. Some are willing;
some are feebly unwilling, while some are completely unwilling. When God
instructs feebly unwilling helpers to help you, they will resist a little but
after a while, they will yield to God. But when He instructs the completely unwilling
helpers to help you, they will vehemently resist. This may happen when such a
helper is your avowed enemy. The truth is, many ‘enemies’ we think we have are
actually our potential helpers. If you doubt it, wait for them to be converted
to Christ and you will realise what you have been missing. The good thing about
this is that God can use anyone to help you. Even if they are totally
unwilling, God can force them to help you.
There are some believers who fall under the group of
unwilling helpers. They will try to convince God not to help a particular
individual and as such, God would have to force them. When God decided to help
Saul, he chose a disciple – Ananias who resides also in Damascus – but Ananias revolted. After God
carefully explained to him the errand he was to run, he came up with strong
reasons why Saul should not be helped by him or by any other disciple. God had
to command him to go before he reluctantly went. Thank God Saul prayed. We all
have unwilling helpers. Many believers have lost a lot of benefits from their
unwilling helpers for failing to pray or not praying enough. If you can pray,
God will compel your helpers to deliver the help you require to you and they
may still tell you how much they hate you while doing so. This season, your
unwilling helpers shall willingly help you in Jesus Name.
Prayer Point
Father, let all my unwilling
helpers become willing and ready to help me.
