HELP! My Prayers Work On People Than Myself... by koife(m): 10:18am On Dec 16, 2014 |
I have noticed with a bit of pains that prayer works on people and not me! I have had the opportunity to pray and intercede for people and it comes out positive, but one surprising fact is that I hardly get answers when I pray for myself... It all started during my degree years; I will teach and even help people during examination but often time their result comes out better than mine. Fast forward to 2days ago. I prayed for someone who was koboless, to have a surprise gift to the tune of hundred of thousands for a project she scrambled for. Less than 56 hours later, she got it. I personally dropped someone's CV to be considered for bank job and less than 20hours letter the person received a call for interview. And today I prayed and my kid sis was given a visa....where as I have tried severally without succeeding. This, amongst other bizzare experiences have become a cause for concern. Matured advice only please! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Man and his desire to command GOD! James 5: 15 - 20 15 The prayer said in faith will save the sick person; the Lord will raise him up and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. 16 There will be healing if you confess your sins to one another and pray for each other. The prayer of the upright man has great power, provided he perseveres. 17 Elijah was a human being like ourselves and when he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, no rain fell for three and a half years. 18 Then he prayed again: the sky yielded rain and the earth produced its fruit. 19 Brothers, if any one of you strays far away from the truth and another person brings him back to it, 20 be sure of this: he who brings back a sinner from the wrong way will save his soul from death and win forgiveness for many sins. John 5:31 31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone honors God and does his will, God listens to him. Prov 15: 8 8 Yahweh detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but listens to the prayer of the honest man. I could go on and on. Man is really insatiable. What else do you want? To be counted amongst the elect is not enough? Do you think HE grants your prayers for others and rejects yours? DoubleFaith: He said it all !! 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Did the visa you prayed for fall from the sky, or did your friend go through the process of applying at the embassy? Your prayers did nothing, work had already been invested. 1 Like |

U have been called to consecration... Even me my prayers work on anybody i come in contact with me but mine are denied.. Apostle paul says in the bible that we are poor but thru our prayers we make many rich. So consecrate urself to GOd and live a life of self denial and see urself fully a servant of the Lord 6 Likes |

@OP Stop deluding yourself . Just like luck , an assumed answered prayer/positive outcome is as a result of dedication to one's pursuit coupled with hard work and not forgetting smart work either , and perseverance . This however does not nullify God existence , no - He own's all results since He is the architect of all that exist . 3 Likes |

koife: And you came to nairaland to seek help? You should go down on your knees, cry to God and ask Him why your miracle is being delayed. Do you have a spiritual mentor or pastor that you could talk to? Sorry to say but What you have just done is cast your pearls before swines. 2 Likes 1 Share |

divine mission and assignments are most times about others and not self. You've just discovered your gift, keep on using bro, to put smiles on the faces of people. we get honour not by what we receive but what we give, and those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. The prayers of those you pray for would work for you and not yours 3 Likes 1 Share |
