YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SITUATION!
I have heard some people say that life is not fair. Some others have also said that the world is an unfair place to live in. Though these statements may be true, we will be doing ourselves some good if we purpose to do something about the unpleasant situations we are going through. Throwing in the towel will rather worsen our case because literally, we will be saying that it is ‘finished’ and we can’t do anything anymore. This article will briefly look at a scenario in the bible where the church did something about an unpleasant situation and had a good result.
“Acts 12:1-8: Now about the time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was make without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him: and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me”
If you are going through an unpleasant situation after doing all that is humanly possible, don’t worry so much. Don’t throw in the towel yet. You got to do something again! You got to first locate what God has said about the unpleasant situation and pray in faith. A pray of faith always delivers result(s). The church would have also lost Peter if prayer was not said for him. There is tremendous power in prayer and it is the responsibility of the child of God to pray and get positive results. The word of God will displace fear and increase our faith to reverse or stop any unpleasant situation. As we pray and meditate on God’s word, our actions are tailored in the right direction to change bad situations.
