Praying For The Power Of Consistency
Day 7: 40 DAYS PRAYER, FASTING AND WORSHIP FEB 3rd to MARCH 14th, 2021. 2021, A YEAR OF NEW BEGINNING - ISAIAH 43:17-19
Short Exhortation About The Power Of Consistency:
Today, we will praying for the power of consistency. One of the reasons why many don’t experience the power or the move of God in their lives is because they give up before they receive their miracles. You can imagine, when God gave Joshua the instructions that they should go round the walls of Jericho once each day for six days, and go round the walls seven times on the seventh day. If they had stopped going round the walls on the sixth day, they would not have received their miracles. Also if they had gone round the walls just six times on the seventh day, they would not have received their miracles. Consistency is very key for you to receive your miracles (Joshua 6). Job 14:14 says, “All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change comes” In Luke 18:1, Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
Even God refused to give up on His project. When He made man and put him in the garden of Eden, that project failed. There is a way a manufacturer expects his products to function. When that product malfunctions, that project has failed. That was what happened to man and he chased them out of the garden of Eden. But God did not give up. He tried again. When the ways of men were evil and they were entrenched in wicked acts according to Genesis 6:1-8, God was angry with the man that He made, he destroyed that project by wiping them out of the face of the earth, but he tried again. He started again with Noah and his family who found favour before Him. When that project failed He tried again. He had a relationship with one man called Abraham, according to Genesis 12:1-5. The Israelites failed many times, He will punish them and try again by restoring the relationship. He maintained that relationship until Jesus Christ came to restore that glory that we had lost in the garden of Eden. The reason why God has not given up on you and I despite all our sins and atrocities is because He is a consistent God.
God fought the Egyptians with plagues ten times before the Israelites were finally released from captivity by Pharaoh. God did not give up on that project. In Genesis 26:18-26, Isaac dug again the well that his father Abraham had dug before but the Philistines blocked it. He did not say that because his father failed on that project he will give up. Though the Philistines kept on blocking the well but he kept on digging again until he dug and the Philistines gave up on blocking the well. He named the well Rehoboth because he said “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land” (Genesis 26:22). If God had stopped working on the fifth day during creation He would not have created one of his finest creatures, MAN. In 2 Kings 13:14- 19. Elisha told Jehoash king of Israel to take a bow and some arrows and he should shoot an arrow of victory over Aram. He told him that he will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek. He told him to strike the ground and he did it only three times. The man of God said that he would have completely destroyed the Arameans if he had done it up to five or six times. Today, we will be praying for the power of consistency, so that we don’t give up before actualizing our dreams.

So he called its name Sitnah. 22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it.

Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark.

Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots and horsemen of Israel!”
15 Elisha said, “Get a bow and some arrows,” and he did so. 16 “Take the bow in your hands,” he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
17 “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.”
18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”
