I've seen
God move a couple of times while ministering to the Youths in my local
assembly. But there's this particular one that thought me a great lesson. I was
just recovering from an illness that really affected my prayer life...
But that
night while in a brothers car with some youths heading for a youth evangelists
vigil.. I was confessing to them that I was really empty. I told them that my
aim of going to that vigil was to get revived and not to lead in any prayer
session... because I was among the leaders.
But
unfortunately, my state coordinator came and told me that after the praise and
worship session I should take over... I was really empty and the request was
sudden. But being my leader, I was finding it hard to say no, I obeyed him and
took over the podium and instead of prayers the only thing that came out of my
lips were worship songs; "fill my cup Lord... I lift it up... come
and quench the thirsty of my Soul..."
As I was
busy rendering worship to God, the power of God came down mightily... I've seen
youths fall under the anointing a couple of times while ministering, but this
particular night was so intense... It was beyond control. The power was so
intense to the level that my leader had to stop the brother that was supposed
to take over from me so that he won't stop what God was doing.
Now, this
actually thought me a lesson... I've now noticed by experience that whenever we
come before God and admit that we're EMPTY and needs His help... He'll come to
our aid.
“Blessed are the poor
in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”. Matthew 5:3
Sometimes
the reason why God is finding it hard to fill us is because we've not yet
emptied ourselves from our Pride.
Friends!!!
God can only
fill empty Vessels...
“And it came to pass,
when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel.
And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed”. 2 Kings
4:6
Do you need
more of Him?
Please empty
yourself of yesterday's achievements... Come to Him empty... come as one who
needs help. Why not pray and say; "Lord, I'm empty... Fill me up till I
overflow..."
