Storms of wrong places.
Storms of wrong places.
Dear reader, many Christians pray, tithe, fast, attend church, and are contributing a lot to the expansion of God’s Kingdom but our Father in Heaven cannot answer their prayers for a simple reason. They are in the wrong places where God does not want them to be. As long as they stay in these wrong places, God will never answer their prayers.
The story of my wife.
About twenty five years ago my wife told me she wanted to open up a big business in our city. Her vision was to become a very rich and powerful business woman. My heart felt like asking her whether she had consulted the Lord about this venture. I hesitated because I did not want to appear as an obstacle to her efforts and advancement. Since the business she wanted required a lot of cash investment, I secured a bank loan to give her a very good start. Her merchandise store was located along a very busy street in the commercial center of our city.
A few months after opening up this store, my wife realized that something wrong was happening. All the shops near hers were getting a lot of buyers except hers!. We prayed about this problem but the best she got was one or two buyers a day! She was spending most of the day sleeping behind the counter desk. Then one day she prayed like this:
“Lord, this is really unfair. I always pray, attend church, I tithe and I contribute to our church projects. How come the unbelievers all around my shop are getting more buyers than I?”
A few days later the Lord answered her through a lady prophet who told her as follows:
“The Lord is telling you that you are in a wrong place. You are reaping the storms of being in a wrong place. You must close this shop and go to the right place where the Lord wants you to be”
This was the only option for my wife. She had to close the merchandise store and go to her home District where the Lord had asked her to start ministry work.
Always consult the Lord.
From my wife’s experience I realized that before any Christian does something new in life, they should first consult the Lord to know whether it is His will for them. If this consultation is not made, then many Children of God will end up in the midst of the storms of being in wrong places.
