He was known and loved by many in the church for his dedication and prayerfulness, but something was missing in his life. Those that tried to help in the past got tired, wondering why he rejected their offers. They had on various occasions informed him of a vacancy in their companies and even got him an interview slot with the HR. The few he finally attended and did well, he turned down the offers. When he finally opened up to a close confidant, he claimed that he had an agreement with God that he will get a job in an oil company with fat salary. He explained that the offers he got were between fifty to hundred thousand naira pay and that is why he turned them down. It is now more than two years and he seemed to be getting impatient with God. He now feels depressed because no one in the church ask him about his unemployment challenge as before.

She yielded to family and friends’ influence and chose the wrong but rich spouse, when in all her prayers for the will of God in marriage, her heart leaned towards the young man who was still a starter with not much wealth to display. Now that she tastes the bitter pill of wrong choice, same people are advising her that prayer solves all problems.

It is a wonder how some believers spend nights in vigil praying but reject opportunities that come with little beginnings. It is time we stop wasting our time praying over one thing and following it up with contradictory action. God answers prayers but cannot be fooled. Do the right thing, follow it up with the right prayer, and you will definitely touch the heart of God. Never despise the day of little beginning. Zechariah 4:10
