Prayer is good

Prayer is good but it isn't everything in the quest of a Christian to get God's intervention. Sometimes, what is required is your CHARACTER. No matter how we pray, attitude has its place. A lot of Christians fail to understand this truth. Prayer is good, but prayer isn't the answer to everything.
Somewhere in the scriptures, the Bible says that before we pray, God will answer (Isa.65:24). Why?
Because we've exhibited attitudes that will attract miracle. God has seen characters like true love for one another; a man with pure heart will attract God's blessing without binding and casting demons.
People, sometimes pray for miracles to happen when what they need is good character, and they won't need to  pray nor speak in tongues.
God is a spirit. So He will always needs to pass through a man to bless you.
If you lack good relationships with men, you'll hardly be blessed. God works with relationship. You must learn to treat people with courtesy..
The Shunammite woman must have been praying for a child all through her life. I'm sure. She was a prominent woman and surely she had money but couldn't buy a child. You know what made her have a child? She took care of Elisha, a man of God. She respected him, she was hospitable, she was kind. She had character! Elisha, spoke into her womb and in a year, she had a child (2Kgs.4:8-17).
Assuming she wasn't kind and hospitable? She would've still be praying and fasting, binding and casting demons that don't exist. What she couldn't get with her prayer and money, her character got it for her.
Sometimes, we are our demons. Our attitudes are our destiny killers.
Some people have insulted persons that were divinely orchestrated to help them.
Some are keeping malice with their destiny helper..
Many are suffering, not because they lack talent but because they lack character. Talent is attractive. Anyone can be talented, but character is a proof of discipline. A proof of responsibility.
Character is what sustains the attraction talent gives you.
Character is virtue, and sometimes what we call FAVOUR is triggered by virtue.
Mary was a Virgin. She had virtue!
Which attracted the favour of being the mother of the Saviour of the world!!
In all thy getting, get character, Respect people, Treat strangers with courtesy, Be kind. Your Angel won't always come like an Angel..
Don't look down on nobody, anyone can change your life.
It was the maid of Naaman, that told him where to get healing (2Kgs.5:2-3). Naaman was a great man but had leprosy. He must have visited the greatest hospital in the world as of that time. Who would've ever thought that the solution to his
problem was in the mouth of his maid?
Sometimes the solutions of our problems are trapped in the mouths of mere people, but many of us are too proud to see it.
Prayer alone is not enough. Build relationships. God still uses men.
Respect people. Get character. And you will see God.
Have a blessed season.
