Let There Be Peace International Ministry family gathered under the unifying presence of the Holy Spirit for a sacred Sunday encounter on the 11th of May 2025.
In a joyful and reverent atmosphere, we commenced with intercession, praying for mercy and claiming protection under the precious blood of Jesus. Our dynamic worship team’s infectious energy and passion led us in a rousing session of triumphant praise (Praise is rising), (What shall we do today) and humble worship (Casting crowns).
As our Man of God, healing Evangelist, JK. Fenuku entered he began by sharing this mighty word from God, “Do not take no for an answer. You are not being disrespectful, Zacchaeus did not take no for an answer, neither did the woman with the issue of blood. If they did not, why should we?”
Now a days we bargain with God and yet we wonder why we are not seeing what we want to see. We often take no for an answer to make ourselves happy, we look for a scripture and make it the reason we take no.
As we continued we were led to scriptures that displayed why exactly we should never take no for an answer (Matthew 15 vs 23–28), (Mark 7 vs 24–25). In this scripture
Jesus wanted to be hidden, but he could not because someone heard about him. That woman said to herself that she is not going to take no for an answer! Jesus did not want to see anyone, but this woman was desperate for an answer.
In this day and age we say “Oh, if you do not want to do it, then fine.” But NO. In God, things are different! Even the disciples asked Jesus to chase her away, but she was persistent! She told herself, “Whatever it is, I will do it as long as my daughter gets healed.”
Jesus is working behind the scenes. He is waiting for you to do your part. It is time for us to provoke God and shake His throne!
At that moment when the disciples told Jesus that if He cannot do anything, to should chase the woman, that was an insult to Him! It is when Jesus’ attitudes and character went out from Him and healed the daughter. He was provoked to react to this word.
And in that same way, we need to provoke Jesus. When you are coming to the presence of God every Sunday, you may think nothing is happening, but He is working behind the scenes. The Bible says that Jesus is the lion of Judah but do you ever see him in battle?
Are you seeking Jesus’ face or hand?
Jesus is telling us that “Whether you see it or not, believe me that I am working it out for you!” Whatever it is in your life—family, career, marriage, health, business—God is working it out. Tell yourself, “Whether I am healed/ delivered or not, Jesus is still my healer/deliverer.” Are you not tired of doubting God? Does your doubt ever bring any result?
We then turned to the word one more time (Psalms 103:7). The Bible is saying that He made known His ways to Moses. Now you pray for a car, God gives you a car, then you forget about it. But those who know God has blessed them, they will use that car to do God’s work. Begin to believe that God is working behind the scenes. Believing is our connection! Amen!
Prayer Points:
1. In the name of Jesus, I remove my name, marriage, business, career, finances, from every evil port.
3. My blessing/breakthrough is now attached to me. In the name of Jesus.
