What if the answer to your prayer has already arrived, but you did not recognise it?
In a heartfelt call to prayer, Pastor Mary challenged believers to seek the spirit of discernment—the ability to recognise God’s hand at work and respond when divine opportunities present themselves.
She reflected on the story of Rebekah, the young woman who unknowingly stepped into her destiny when Abraham’s servant arrived seeking a wife for Isaac. Before he had even finished praying for success, Rebekah appeared at the well. She was diligent, prepared and positioned for a moment she did not know was coming.
What set Rebekah apart? Pastor Mary posed a thought-provoking question: Was it merely coincidence or was there a spiritual sensitivity that positioned her for God’s visitation?
Many believers pray for jobs, business partners, open doors and breakthrough, yet fail to pray for the discernment needed to recognise those answers when they arrive. God’s opportunities do not always come with announcements. Sometimes they appear in ordinary moments, disguised as simple conversations, unexpected connections or acts of obedience.
The message was a reminder that discernment is not optional for the believer—it is essential. As Rebekah’s story demonstrates, one moment of spiritual sensitivity can alter the course of a lifetime.
The call was simple yet profound: Pray for discernment. Pray for eyes that see, ears that hear and a heart that recognises God’s visitation. For when destiny arrives, may you never miss your God-ordained moment of breakthrough.
