BE CAREFUL ON HOW YOU PRAY
Being Extracts of the Message Delivered during the Special Morning Devotion Service held in Orlando USA by Pastor E.A Adeboye on Tuesday, 19th September 2023
Beware how you Pray because this Story that we read in our Bible Text (Isaiah 38: 1-9) is also repeated in 2 Kings 20: 1-21.
This Man (Hezekiah); Prayed, and Gid said to Isaiah to go back – Tell him that I give him fifteen (15) more years.
Very Good – The King was happy.
But then, things began to happen:
1. In 2 Kings 21: 12-14; some Visittors came to visit him – Congratulations, we learnt that you are sick and now you have recovered.
And King Hezekiah Volunteered to show them round.
As soon as those People left, Isaiah came back again – What happened he asked? The King said I have some Visitors.
What did they come to do? They came to Congratulate me.
And what did they see? I showed them everything that I have.
Prophet Isaiah said – The Day is coming that they will come and take everything that they see!
When are they coming back the King asked?
The Prophet said after you died and the Kimg said no Problem, I will be gone then.
Beware how you Pray! Don’t Pray a Prayer that will destroy your Legacy!
2. And then another thing happened after he got well.
Three (3) years after he got well, he had a baby boy – Ha, you see! If I had died three (3) years ago, I won’t have a New Prince.
The Name of that Prince is Manasseh.
NOTES: Manasseh was the fourteenth king of the Kingdom of Judah. He was the oldest of the sons of Hezekiah and his mother Hephzibah (2 Kings 21:1). He became king at the age of 12 and reigned for 55 years (2 Kings 21:1-18; 2 Chronicles 33:1-25).
The Bible said that He did evil like Nobody before him – Filled the Land with so much Blood of the Innocence.
There are some Children that are not better born – This might be a Consolation to some of you who Probably lost a Child or something.
If the Parents of Judas Iscariot knew what he was going to become, they would have been happy he died Young – But God knows tomorrow!
When you Pray, let your Prayer be – Father, let Your Perfect Will be done.
Not mine but yours. It may be Painful, but Lord let Your Perfect Will be done!
David said in Psalms 31:15 – He said: Lord, my times are in your Hands!
