I WOULD HAVE DIED A NONENTITY IF I DIDN'T GET UP TO PRAY. PRAYERS MADE ME WHO I AM NOW.
GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR GRAMMAR, GO AND PRAY.
-Pastor David Ibiyeomie
Jacob means a supplanter, a cheat. He said I cannot remain like this, No! My father Isaac blessed me and I am not seeing the blessing manifesting, that was what Jacob said, he said my father blessed me but the blessing is not reflecting in my life. ChurchGist. That wrestling means prayers. The angel said no longer shall you be called Jacob but Israel, that means today you have moved from an individual to a Nation, you will no longer be called Jacob (one man) but Israel (a Nation). ChurchGist. You can change your identity with prayers. He moved from an individual to an institution, Israel came from Jacob, he prayed himself from an individual to a nation, are you getting what I am saying.
I would have died a nonentity if I didn't get up to pray. It is prayers that made me who I am now. I stood and said God this is not how you want my life to be, No! This is not how it should be, God change my story now, with a holy anger. It is not all the kind prayers that you pray with a fine boy attitude. ChurchGist. God has known your English already, stop speaking English to God, he's the owner of all languages, God is not interested in your grammar. Go and pray, Jacob prayed. You've never suffered, if you have suffered, if you came from my kind of background, nobody will advise you; you will advice yourself. ChurchGist. You know some of you, your father gave birth to you in GRA, you didn't witness mosquito bites, you stayed in GRA all your life, from GRA you went to Queens and Kings college, if you had gone to one public school, that even after school your mother will send you to the market, nobody will tell you to pray, you will pray, you will look at your life and pray.
If they tell you that you want to travel from Lagos to Port Harcourt by road, you're very happy, you will say this night I won't sleep, because to travel by road is a big deal, some of you all your life, you've been moving via flights, even just from Port Harcourt to Benin. ChurchGist. If you've ever suffered, that you just came back from school, your mother will send you to the market, it is after you're back from the market that you're sure if your lunch, you will pray, or you go somewhere and you get rejected and you see people who are not qualified getting the opportunity, you will pray. Look at Jacob, he prayed. He prayed his way, he stood up and said no, this can't be where I ought to be.
