A family prayed daily for a car during their devotion. One day, a child blurted out, “Daddy, let’s stop praying, God is not answering.” The father was shaken but encouraged them to continue. Meanwhile, God had instructed a man to give them a car. Before evening, the car arrived. Their faith was revived.
Friend, God still answers prayer (Psalm 65:2). Often, the issue is not if He has answered, but if the person carrying your answer is obeying. Your miracle may be parked in another man’s garage, in someone’s account, or locked in a drawer. Men are God’s answers (Isaiah 46:11).
That is why we must pray for people, not just things (Esther 6:1-3). Everything you will ever need has already been released by God and placed in someone’s hands. Prayer bridges the gap between you and them, and accelerates manifestation. Those who don’t pray miss divine orchestrations (Acts 12:1-11).
There are no coincidences in life, only divine orchestrations (Ephesians 1:11). Prayer is what triggers them. It moves people’s hearts to act in your favour, and directs resources toward you. What looks like a chance meeting is often an answer to prayer, engineered by prayer (Acts 10:30-33).
Men are God’s answers (Luke 6:38). If you refuse to be an answer to someone else, you may unknowingly delay your own answer. Don’t only pray for God to send people to you, pray for Him to send you to people. Ask God to make you someone else’s answered prayer (1 Samuel 30:10-19).
Divine supplies respond to divine demands (1 Kings 17:9-15). When God wants to bring you supply, He will often first place a demand on your time, gift, or resources. He wants to make you a channel before you become a recipient. You may be the one delaying your own miracle. Become someone’s answer today (Genesis 41:14-16).
