Travail and prevail...

Genesis 32:24-29 NKJV

Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.” Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there.

Shalom! Day #56. Do you know that when you want something, or pray for something, and if you never let God go, you will see the answers of the prayers? P.U.S.H = Pray Until Something Happens. Let's pray. Father in the name of Jesus we pray that let us not go weary in praying or even give up in prayers. As we travailed and prevailed in prayers, we shall see the result, the miracles!

Jacob was left alone and a Man wrestled with him. When you are alone and you began to pray and praise, the presence of God is there, in that infinite presence of God, when you grab hold of God's leg and pray unceasingly, you will see your prayers being answered. Miracles only happens for those who travail in prayer and believe for a miracle. Pray Until Something Happen. Never let go, never give up. When you prayer don't just simply pray, pray a prayer that moves God's hand. Wrestle with God in prayer! This is what Jacob did when he don't know where to run, what to do. He pray and praise.

The struggles we go through, as we walk with God, is for a purpose and a reason. He moulds our live according to every events that's happened in our live, bringing us into maturity physically and also spiritually. The Greek meaning for Israel is "he shall be a prince of God." The Hebrew meaning is "My God prevails or He struggled with God." When struggled or wrestled with God in prayer, you shall receive your miracle. In this case Jacob was a prince of God. When you prevail, the crown of victory is waiting for you. Do you believe in a miracle? I don't. But I believe in the Miracle Maker.... Jesus! Come on. Get and pray Till you see something happen! Never give up. Do not accept defeat as a fact, but travail and prevail in prayer and praise till God brings about a miracle!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
