FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 32:22-32
Jacob wrestled with the angel until he got the blessing he wanted. Yes he was rich at the time, but there was something that was still lacking. He didn’t just sit expecting a change to come, He got into action and wrestled not with a man but an angel.
He was determined and nothing was going to stop him. The Bible says that when the angel saw that he was not ready to let him go, he touched the hollow of this tigh. What situation or challenge are you faced with that seems to be a threat to you? You have to be violent about it in the place of prayer. From the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent takes it by force. The Bible states that the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Everything and anything can be settled in the place of prayer. It means you bring everything in your life under the subjection of God through prayer.
Jacob means supplanter (deceiver). It was a bad identity he had carried around for years, but one night of wrestling brought about the change of name (destiny). Your spiritual identity may be worse. May be people equate you with failure, bad luck and poverty. I would like to let you know that you can wrestle your way into a change of identity. The same way Jacob’s curse was turned to blessing and he moved from being Jacob to Israel through the power of prayer, today, God will turn your destiny around for good, in Jesus’ name. The Bible says that Jabez, in his precarious condition, cried to the God of Israel and he got a brand new destiny and identity. Today, the same wonder-working God who knows no impossibility will change your story for good, in Jesus’ name.
