🙆 PROPHETESS ANNA PRAYED FOR 60 YEARS FOR THE ARRIVAL OF JESUS.
Some of you today, the dimension of grace God has brought you was a 25-years prayer of your mother, 30-years prayer of your grandmother. Don't you think intercessions just happen in two days. You've cried for two weeks and you say, "Lord, I'm tired, I've given up". Go and read your Bible and find out how many years Anna the prophetess interceded for Jesus; from the time she became widowed, she started interceding over a period of 60 years, she interceded for the arrival of Jesus.
Go and read Church history, read about the move of God and you will learn that there were people, missionaries who did not really have spiritual powers but they held unto the horns of the altar and prayed and prayed, suddenly the Heavens opened. Go and read the history of the Church in Nigeria. You see; many believers, we are not students of history, that's why the secret to the future is in yesterday; go back and study yesterday. Study the Generals and those who serve the purposes of God; men like Archbishop Benson Idahaosa, Papa Babalola; you go and read about them. You may not know but there were prophetic intercessors who prophesied their arrival and prayed. They were not educated and wealthy but they understood the act of prophetic intercession. Our generation is not praying for anything; we are just praying for cars and houses.
An Intercessor is obsessed with seeing Prophecy birthed. When Anna the prophetess held Jesus, she said "behold, I have seen the consolation of Israel." Do you know how powerful it is when an intercessor sees prophecy birthed in your lifetime? There are many of you here who are parents, don't weep over your personal failure; begin to invest over your grandchildren; "Lord, grant that in my lifetime, I'll see a prophet that comes from my loins; one who the government will be on his shoulder." These are the kinds of destiny prayers we need to pray and we need to obtain grace to stop praying this tea and bread.
You need to go to the horns of the altar and start praying national and territorial prayers. John Knox went on his knees and said, Lord grant me this Scotland or I die. Unfortunately, most of these regions do not appreciate the sacrifices; You see if you don't teach children history, they will abuse privileges. Blessing people without teaching them history is what leads to compromises.
