DON'T LET GO
Memorise:
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. .. Luke 11:9
Read:
Luke 11:5-10
Message
In Mark 10:46-52, Bartimaeus cried continually until Jesus attended to him. If Bartimaeus had not been persistent, he may not have gotten his miracle. In Genesis 32:24-28, when the angel said to Jacob, "Let me go," he replied, "I won't let you go until you bless me."
Beloved, hold on to God until you get your miracle. He said in Isaiah 62:6-7 that you should not let Him rest until He establishes you and makes you a praise in the earth Many people don't get their miracles because they give up too soon. However, people who know how to continually knock on heaven's doors always receive answers. Jesus told the parable of the widow who didn't stop demanding justice in Luke 18:2-5. She wouldn't let the judge rest until he attended to her matter. Although he didn't fear God or regard men, the widow's persistence pushed him to help her. In today's Bible reading, Jesus told another parable of a fellow who went to his friend's house at midnight to ask for bread to entertain a visitor. Jesus said that even though his friend might not want to respond to him because it was late, he would rise and give him as many loaves as he wanted because of his persistence.
Every problem you might experience in your life has an expiry date if you don't give up on God. If you continually knock, the door will eventually open. People who are fainthearted or give up easily cannot get anything significant from life. Such people let go, even when they are so close to their blessing. People who don't let go are people of great determination. Some of them wrestle all night in prayer and continue knocking on heaven's door until they receive answers. Be determined; don't give up on your prayers until you receive answers like Daniel(Daniel i0:2-14), Jacob (Genesis 32:24-28), Elijah (1 Kings 18:42-45), and the widow in Jesus' parable (Luke 18:2-5).
Beloved, you can grow your strength by consuming God's word and waiting on Him in the place of prayer. Do not let the enemy cheat you by wearing you down at the edge of your breakthrough; hold on firmly to God's promises. Don't take 'no' for an answer, you will eventually receive your miracle if you persist in your prayers like the woman in Matthew 15:21-28.
Do you want a blessing like Jacob or justice like the widow in Luke 18:2-5? Don't let go. Keep knocking and pushing until your answer comes.
