WOMEN, WHO WRESTLE WITH GOD AND PREVAIL (1 SAMUEL 1:8-28, GENESIS 30)
As we journey towards our breakthrough and manifestation of our glorious destiny; it is no longer news that our journey is full of challenges and trials and that's why we need to break through every obstacle on our way. Everyone's challenges depend on the magnitude of their destiny; the bigger your destiny the tougher your battle; that's why you should not be judging your result based on someone else's achievement. These challenges are not meant to weaken us but to strengthen us. We are ordained to overcome them but most times when we have overcome all these obstacles standing in our way, and our breakthrough seems not to be in view then it will be very obvious that the enemies are no longer our problem. The road is clear, no more blockage. This is usually the critical stage in the journey; it can be very frustrating because at this stage you are battle weary after defeating your enemies and preparing to enjoy your victory and yet nothing seems to be happening. Many kingdom warriors have failed at this stage; many have given up on God, thinking that He is not fair to them but that is wrong. God does not waste resources; He fought the battle for you and defeated all your enemies and He did not just invest His energy and resources in you for nothing. It is time to prove your total trust in Him; He wants to be sure that when your enemy reinforces against you that you would be able to defeat them again. Satan left Jesus for a season, He always comes back but the good news is that you will always defeat him with God by your side. The question is, if the road is clear then where is my answer. Friends, It is time to face God one on one; He is challenging you for a wrestling match. Since we all know that you cannot appear before Him with filthiness; the first thing to do is to examine yourself and make sure you are standing on a solid ground; you need to present your strong reason why He should trust you with such a great destiny and why you think you are now qualify to move on. Isaiah 1:18 (Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool). You may ask, but Nene how? You stand on the word of God which is His covenant because He is a covenant keeping God. If there is no covenant between you and God there wouldn't have been a race in the first place. So, your argument will base on your own fulfillment of the part of the covenant. God set the terms of the covenant and you have fulfilled your own part of the covenant; so you have the right to ask Him why your breakthrough has not been released. Isaiah 45:11 (Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me). That's how you wrestle with God; there was a time in my life that I thought I was qualified for my blessing and I presented my case to God and He responded immediately and said, daughter no, you are not done yet and He shows me what is remaining. I love this God; He will always speak to His children and show them the way. But when He thinks you are due for the blessing but require a wrestling match; He will keep quiet and watch you, because He has trained you and expected that you should know what to do at this stage. It is time to hold Him tight and don't let Him go until He releases your blessing; that's how to prove that His assignment is very important to you and that you are ready to manifest your destiny. The bible says that Jacob was left alone and a man wrestled with him till day break. Rachel said give me children or else I die (Genesis 30:1). The bible said and God closed her womb; Rachel has to be desperate enough to get God to open her womb. Genesis 29:31 (And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren). Joseph was a child of destiny and Rachel needs to prove to God that she is ready to carry the seed of destiny in her womb. Genesis 30:22 (And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb). Hannah said to Eli the priest that she was not drunk but pouring her heart to God by letting Him see the reason why she is due for her blessing and when God noticed that her reason was strong enough He opened her womb and Samuel came; Samuel was a seed of destiny. 1 Samuel 1:15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. And the LORD remembers Hannah (1 Samuel 1:19). Hannah realizes that her breakthrough is now in the hand of God and He would not let that Shiloh end without her answer. Friends, you are the next to testify in Jesus' name. These women wrestle with God for their blessings; so what are you still waiting for; wipe your tears and approach the throne of grace with boldness and return with your testimony in Jesus name. If what you are expecting is not important to God there will be no wrestling, so rejoice because you are a chosen generation ordained for His purpose here on earth. If you are reading this message and you are not yet a covenant child; you cannot wrestle with God because there will be no ground to stand. Jesus is our solid ground; He is the word of God and you need a relationship with him. Here is the opportunity to enter into a covenant with God praying this salvation prayer below and surrender your life to Him.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
