Engage Desperate Cry To The Eleventh Hour God

What else can you do to effect change at this eleventh-hour of the year? The days are rolling by and the year is almost gone, with your expectations yet to materialize. Furthermore, your hope is dwindling away faster than you can build it. So, it’s time to give it another push. This post encourages you to engage a desperate cry to God, who specializes in doing wonders even in the dying minutes.

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested– 1 Chronicles 4:9 (NKJV).

And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” – Genesis 32:26 (NKJV).

Truly, the year is fast approaching its end and you feel frustrated that you can’t slow it down or pause it for a while. All your steps seem not to add up, and you’re feeling like giving up and sitting down to watch the year roll by. I have additional step for you to take. This is engaging a desperate cry to the eleventh-hour God for a change.

What is a cry of desperation?

This is a cry from the heart, an action in despair when every other thing seems to have failed. Furthermore, it is a call for an urgent intervention from a person who is capable of rendering it. It’s not a mere loud outburst of words or shedding of tears and mourning, but a hopeful cry for change.

Cry to the Almighty God

Effective desperate cry is one directed to God. This is because human beings are grossly limited and satan never gives you anything with your good in mind. On the other hand, the Lord is the creator of the whole universe, and has the manual for successful life in it. So, He is the best authority to cry to. His thoughts towards man are for his good (Jeremiah 29:11) and His instructions are not grievous words (1 John 5:3). Read more...

How To End Still And Easily This Year In Success

Is it possible to still end this year in success? Many people may have given up on the year but you shouldn’t be part of them. Anything can still happen in the eleventh hour. This post tells you how you can still end the year successfully and with ease.

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” – Matthew 19:26 (NKJV).

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? – Jeremiah 32:27 (NKJV).

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever – Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV).

The year is obviously coming to the end; this is the eleventh month. Many things are yet to be accomplished, the success goals seem impossible now and you’re at the verge of breaking down. All year long, you had struggled to be successful. People are even wondering what you have been doing from the beginning of the year to date. You have come to the end of the road. I have good news for you – The God of eleventh hour miracle is here.

God makes it possible

Your issue is not an issue with God. You can easily still end the year in success. All things are possible with God. What is impossible with man is possible with God.  There is nothing hard or difficult for your Lord to do. Before you think or say anything, remember that He created the whole world in SIX DAYS only. Your issue is a walkover for Him.

Scriptural Examples

Elijah and Widow of Zarephath

1 Kings 17:8-15 gives account of Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath. She had only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar just for one more meal for her and her son. They were to eat and then wait for death. But God through Elijah caused those food items not to finish till the drought ended. They met the end of the drought alive and in good health.

Elisha and the famine in Samaria

Furthermore, the act of the God of eleventh hour miracle can be seen in 2 Kings Chapters 2 and 3. There was a grievous famine in the land of Samaria to the point that women were eating their children. Elisha prophesied that the Lord will intervene and cause overnight surplus of food in the land. One of the king’s officers doubted its possibility; however, it came to pass but he didn’t live to partake of it. Read more...

Fight Discouragement With A Spark Of Joyous Hope

Are you discouraged with the state of things around you now, especially your progress at this time of the year? The year is drawing close to the end, many people are still struggling to have a better life than what they had at the beginning of the year. It is truly disheartening and energy draining, but there is still hope; the year is not over yet. Discouragement and God don’t go together. This post encourages you to take hold of hope coupled with joy against the discouraging circumstances to emerge triumphant.

“For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant – Job 14:7-9 (NKJV).

But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion – Ecclesiastes 9: 4 (NKJV).

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation – Isaiah 12:3 (NKJV).

You may have started the year with excitement, enthusiasm and with great plans for a better year, and you have put in more effort in your work; however, right now you’re seeing nothing close to your earlier expectations. You are discouraged, sad and tired. I have good news for you – as long as you are alive, you still have a chance to end this year in a grand style.

The situation around you notwithstanding, there is still hope for a change. Everything may look gloomy and impossible, everyone may say this year is over and your case is closed, don’t allow them to discourage you. That may be their opinion but it’s not God’s verdict for you! Read more...

What You Have Is Enough, Don’t Belittle It

How often do you belittle what you have? Many people desire great things but they are ever quick to belittle what they currently have in their possession. They don’t see those things as keys to accessing what they desire. What you need for a change of story in your life is not far, it’s very much with you. This post stresses the need not to look down on what you have in your quest for greater things in life.

There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many? – John 6:9 (NKJV).

So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” – 2 Kings 4:2 (NKJV).

For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him – Matthew 13:12 (NKJV).

People are quick to look outside for solutions to their challenges, however, most of the time, their solution is inside. Belittling what you have leads to waste of time, energy and resources, and it delays the Lord’s intervention in your life. Sometimes, these persons end up not achieving their dreams because they belittled what they already had.

God works with and multiplies what you already have. Claiming not to have anything hinders the help of God towards you. More will be given to whoever has; but he who hasn’t, even that which he has will be taken from him (Matthew 13:12). Therefore, don’t be quick to say you don’t have. Look inwards and you will see what you have that will help you solve your challenge or get what you want.

In 2 Kings 4:1-7, a widow was in need of cash to pay up her husband’s debt so as to save her sons. When she was asked by Elisha what she had, she said, “nothing”, before adding that she had a jar of oil. At the end, it was this jar of oil that she considered not enough or as nothing that saved her and her sons. Read more...
