[The Glory Unveiled]
Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive. ( Genesis 30:22 )
Jacob loved Rachel so much and wanted to marry her, but his uncle Laban, tricked him into marrying Leah, Rachel’s elder sister. But that didn’t stop Jacob, he had to work for seven more year for Rachel. After his wives came to stay with him, Rachel could not conceive. And even though Jacob loved her more, because she could not conceive, it seem to her that her sister was getting all of their husband’s attention. In order to correct that, she turned to God. Challenges have a way of showing us the gate of priesthood; challenges drag us to the feet of God. But for sometime it seem that God had forgotten about her or couldn’t hear her. Along the way, Rachel, like Sarah tried to help the situation by allowing her servant to sleep with her husband to raise children for her. But this temporary solution didn’t take away her misery and so she continue to look to God in prayer until the scripture above; God remembered Rachel and opened her womb. No prayer is ever wasted because heaven has zero tolerance for waste. The prayers of the past are not wasted. Prayers can be stored up until their appointed time or when enough demand is made on heaven for the release of their answers. God remembered Rachel! Her secret and silent prayers were not in vain. Likewise, your prayers never fell to the ground, they will be remembered and you will conceive the blessings you have been carrying all along.
