“Call unto me, and I will
answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
(Jeremiah 33:3 King James Version)
Christian’s responsibility is to call on God
consistently. In Apostle Paul’s words; “Pray without ceasing.” Prayer is the telephone
or means of communication to the throne of heaven. If someone needs help and
don’t call and ask for help, it means double trouble. Sometimes I would rather
work hard and give my all out effort to accomplish something, and not even dare
to try to lift up the phone and call for help. It’s a bad attitude, and how
much more if we’re doing it to God! Many of us may say; “Yes that’s ironic”,
but it’s true. After the creations, God’s desire for
men was to communicate on Him and have an intimate relationship with Him. And
you may all know that Adam and Eve fell into sin which destroyed man’s relationship
with God. I believe when God said, “Call unto me…” It would surely means He
wants to keep the communication line open and our relationship with Him intimate
and active.
The worst that can happen is we know that we are
just a prayer away from the Lord and from a miracle or answer to our prayers, and lack of prayer hindered the blessing. We
may be self-sufficient or doubtful and have the spirit of ignoring the importance of prayer, but
if we want the touch of God; we must be on our knees crying to God. The Bible says;
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their
land.” (II Chronicles 7:14 KJV)
