Good-Life Devotional: TRAVAIL TO BRING THE FORTY YEAR OLD PROPHECY TO PASS.

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

     Even when God gives a prophecy, prayer is often the means by which the prophecy is brought into manifestation. God declares the end, but He also ordains intercession as the channel through which it is fulfilled.

The captivity of Israel in Babylon was clearly foretold to last seventy years:

Jeremiah 25:11–12 — “And this whole land shall be a desolation… and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”

Jeremiah 29:10 — “After seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you.”

Yet when the seventy years expired, nothing happened automatically. It was when Daniel understood the prophecy that he began to pray and travail.

Daniel 9:2–3 — “I Daniel understood by books the number of the years… seventy years… And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting…”

Daniel 9:19 — “O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not…”

It was after this intense intercession that restoration began to unfold (Daniel 9:20–23).

The same principle appears with Elijah. He prophesied rain, yet he still had to pray for its manifestation.

1 Kings 18:1 — “Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.”

1 Kings 18:41–42 — Elijah said, “there is a sound of abundance of rain”… yet he went up to Mount Carmel and bowed down to pray.

1 Kings 18:43–44 — He prayed repeatedly until the cloud appeared.

Prophecy gives certainty, but prayer brings delivery. God speaks the promise, but intercession births it.

This is why scripture compares spiritual fulfillment to travail:

Isaiah 66:8 — “As soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.”

Ezekiel 36:37 — “I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them.”

God promises it — but He still says, “ask me to do it.”

Therefore, prophecy is not a substitute for prayer.

Prophecy reveals God’s will; prayer enforces it.

Travail is needed to bring forth what God has spoken.

  Intercessors need to  birth Pa Sydney Granville Elton's prophesy about  Nigeria ( google search it ) by the Holy Spirit like Daniel did the deliverance of Isreal . It was made in 1986 , we are in 2026, 40 years later ,  the year of transition haven suffered as fortoled in the prophecy. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power for effective prayers .
