We have a weekly prayer meeting in the ministry. We pray for at least three hours. While praying earlier in the year, I declared under the inspiration of God, "We are not having our cross-over service on this property. We would be having it on our property".
At the moment of declaring these words prophetically, no work was ongoing for any building. It was not even in our capital project as a ministry for the year. But the moment the word was declared, and we aligned to it, grace to build came eventually.
You only know the capacity at which you can operate once you get yourself into the place of prayer. You do not know how high you can fly until you release yourself to God in fellowship.
In prayer and fellowship with Him, He imprints His thoughts into our hearts. There is no frequency at which we can catch His thoughts except at the frequency of the Word and Prayer.
The Prophet Isaiah told us that God's way are not our way. He mentioned that His thoughts are way higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8).
How do we get into that realm of knowing His thoughts and walking in His way?
1. *THIRST*: Thirst is a prerequisite for knowing His will and walking in His ways.
“Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink— even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk— it’s all free!"
Isaiah 55:1 NLT
2. *PRIORITIZE THE WORD OF GOD*: God said to listen to him. Do not get distracted by other things
"Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food." Isaiah 55:2 NLT
3. *PURSUE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD*: If you want the covenant of David to work for you, you must have the attitude of David. Pant for The Lord like the deer pant after the waters. Value His presence more than any other thing.
“Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David."
Isaiah 55:3 NLT
4. *WALK IN PROMPT OBEDIENCE*: Whatever the Lord says to you to do, make sure you do. Do not delay. Do not procrastinate.
"Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near."
Isaiah 55:6 NLT
Invest in prayer and fellowship. It will dig it out. Have a taste of just one of the proofs that it will happen:
"You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.” Isaiah 55:5 NLT
You will begin to attract what you did not request.
