Why You Should Intercede In Prayer (30sec Read)

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Uplifting Christ

Satan wants your attention. His goal is to shift your focus from God thereby destroying the relationship you have with Him through Jesus Christ. He does this by either attacking you or something and/or someone you love. Often a strong believer spends more time praying for himself or herself and ignores the people and things he/she cares about. But remember that when the enemy cannot attack you, he attacks someone or something close to you. His goal? Your attention.

Jesus prayed for Peter in Luke 22. In Verse 31 and 32 He said “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

Satan knew that he could not match Jesus Christ in power and glory so he went after the Rock upon which Jesus’ church would be built. Imagine that if Jesus had kept to himself and not prayed for those around Him, Satan could have had his way in Peter’s life and ministry, as well as the other disciples.

Therefore this week as you carry on with your busy schedule(s) and pray for yourself, remember those around you. Pray for them because you may not know what they are going through. Pray for your supervisor, employer, employee, stakeholders, friends, family, church, leaders, etc. Satan would always seek ways to get your attention so Watch and Pray. God bless you.

Think about this: Jesus told Peter to “Come” on the water when he was in distress, the wind was against his boat…in the midst of waves. Jesus could have calmed it down before telling Peter to “come” But he wanted Peter to seize that opportunity in the midst of chaos.

What is God telling you to do in 2020? Maybe you wish the pandemic would be over before you start But I am here to encourage you that if God has said it, then it’s feasible. Step Forward and Grace will takeover

The 11th Hour Miracle (1min read)

Posted on December 14, 2018December 25, 2022 by Uplifting Christ

I feel so passionate to share this message because deep within my spirit, I believe that God’s best for us this year shall come to pass. I believe in The 11th Hour Miracle.

It happens to me many times, just when I thought or begin to think that it’s over, then God shows up suddenly with an answer.

The 11th hour is the time when everything suggests that you give up. And the miracle comes in like your team scoring in the last minute of the stoppage time before the final whistle. Often times December becomes the 11th hour and sadly many of God’s children give up on their dreams, targets, and/or plans for the year.

In Luke 5:5 (AMP), Simon replied, “Master, we worked hard all night [to the point of exhaustion] and caught nothing [in our nets] (emphasis added).

Peter and Co were;
- Experienced fishermen.
- They worked hard all night.
- They caught nothing.

Maybe you can relate to the above in that (1) you are experienced in your field (2) you have worked hard throughout the year seeking for opportunity or a break, or promotion, or an answer to a need, and (3) nothing has happened.

It’s heartbreaking especially when you have placed your hope and trust in God yet it appears that you are the only person not making progress in life. You have watched the clock ticked and the calendar rolled over from January to this day with nothing to show forth. Therefore, like Peter and colleagues, you have decided to wash your nets and give up.

The good news was that Jesus Christ came at the 11th hour to cause the miracle to happen and also to usher them into their divine mandate. I need you to believe that Nothing is too late for God. He doesn’t work according to our calendar/time but by our faith in Him. Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame. (Psalm 25:3, ESV)

In this month, something good is about to happen in your life. It would be beyond your imagination and all the glory would go to the Lord. Are you ready to believe?

Peter and Co had their break at an odd time when everyone thought it would be impossible. They obeyed what the Lord said to them and the miracle happened. In the same way, be careful to obey what God speaks to your heart and you will never be put to shame. Anything you set your heart/mind to achieve this year is possible. It’s possible. Miracles happen at the 11th hour, and yours is on the way. Amen.
