Scripture Reading: Genesis 32:24-26

“So Jacob was left alone, and a Man [came and] wrestled with him until daybreak. When the Man saw that He had not prevailed against Jacob, He touched his hip joint; and Jacob’s hip was dislocated as he wrestled with Him. Then He said, “Let Me go, for day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing on me.” (AMP)

The best teacher in prayer is to pray and you cannot learn to pray until you pray. Great men in the bible prayed into their breakthrough and supernatural turnaround. The kingdom of darkness is not afraid of people who knows the word but can’t pray the word. But they’re afraid of people who understands the efficacy of God’s word and pray the word. Hell is not move by our plans and strategies but by our effective fervent prayers. This will take us to: PRINCIPLES OF TRAVAILING;

If there’s a situation in your life, you have the power to create a change. Are you struggling to meet your financial commitment, travail. Is there sickness in your life or are you surrounded by enemy within and without and they’re fighting you without a cause. Luke 9:1 says; “Now Jesus called together the twelve [disciples] and gave them [the right to exercise] power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.”(AMP). The Lord has given us power and authority over the demons and to create an atmosphere that is suitable for our living.

He gave them power and authority not to boast around or oppress people but to silent the enemy and it works around them. In the same way, you also possess power and authority from God and is for a purpose. But it quiet unfortunate that some believers were truly empowered but lack their place in God. Let discuss the principles of travailing:

1) There can be no sanctification without separation: From our scripture today, Jacob was left alone at a point and that actually lead to the fulfilment of his destiny and becomes a blessing to generation till today. Moses went up to Mount Sinai alone, Jesus Christ our Lord also went alone to mount of transfiguration where destiny is settled and fulfilled. As a Christian, we often need separation for total sanctification without which so many things will be hindered and delay. To be continue tomorrow morning by God’s Grace. Good morning and happy Sunday, peace.

Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, help me to create an atmosphere of great change in my life in fulfilling destiny. Am Sanctify by your word in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
