There is a big mystery behind this which, i'm very sure you are not ready to know now.

John 16 vs 12: I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

The simple solution to your little problem is to change your prayers. Tell God; Father, let Thy will be done in my life. And watch how things will turn out for you.

I am very sure you have been praying amiss. You have a special case with God. There are people like that. God have a case with you but you think you know what you 'want and need'. It's just like Pastor Adeboye asking for a 3 bedroom flat when God wanted to build him a city. See? Just change your prayers. I'm speaking from experience. It may not make sense to you now, but soon, it will.
I am wowed...I never saw it in this direction

@OP. Do not assume you r the only person they approached
They might have gone to other places too. So thinking your prayers made it worked for them is fallacious
Pple can go any length whenever they r in a fix

I have noticed with a bit of pains that prayer works
on people and not me!

I have had the opportunity to pray and intercede for
people and it comes out positive, but one surprising
fact
is that I hardly get answers when I pray for
myself...

It all started during my degree years; I will teach and even help people during examination but often time their result comes out better than mine.

Fast forward to 2days ago. I prayed for someone who was
koboless, to have a surprise gift to the tune of
hundred
of thousands for a project she scrambled for. Less
than 56 hours later, she got it.

I personally dropped someone's CV to be considered for
bank job and less than 20hours letter the person
received a call for interview.

And today I prayed and
my kid sis was given a visa....where as I have tried
severally without succeeding.

This, amongst other
bizzare
experiences have become a cause for concern.

Matured advice only please!
yours will surely come to you please do pray for me too I need ur prayer

The thought process is the answer. With all due respect, your thought process towards yourself is that of impossibility, failure and the likes, that is why your prayers towards yourself don't work. While the thought process of those you pray for is positive and they channel it towards possibility of their prayers coming through. You really ought to change your negative thought process for the positive ones.

Well, the first time i read your case, the first thing that came out of my mouth was, Hallelujah! Cos this is something i have been through before and trust me, it's unto glory. So you should be very very thankful to God regardless of your present situation.

[quote author=koife post=28925227]I have noticed with a bit of pains that prayer works

I thought so about myself for a very long time until I found out I was pushing the very wrong dreams. I was so blinded by my "human desires" that I didn't realise God had prepared a fulfilling path for me, far from what I ever thought of or dreamt of. Many educated women wouldn't go that path at the time I started but when they saw the transformation in me after a little while, they began to troupe to me to lend them the rope. Now I'm an employer, supporting many. Even those who looked down on me ogle at me when they see me now. Right now, there's almost nothing I ask God about this business that I don't get.

LESSON: 1. You're praying for the wrong things
2. It's not time for your turn around yet, probably because you won't
Be able to manage the success that will come with it.
3. God wants you even closer than you think you're

Think over these and ask God to show you yourself. From there u can see your prayers getting the answers you always desired.

REMEMBER, When you get there, BE HUMBLE. Pride goes before a fall. And do not rob God.

U have been called to consecration... Even me my prayers work on anybody i come in contact with me but mine are denied.. Apostle paul says in the bible that we are poor but thru our prayers we make many rich. So consecrate urself to GOd and live a life of self denial and see urself fully a servant of the Lord

Brother, all you need do is pray for someone like me who will appreciate you later.

Some people don't know how to say thank you just like the nine lepers in the bible. Where only one leper returned to thank Jesus..

Re: HELP! My Prayers Work On People Than Myself... by ThaProphet(m): 10:18pm On Dec 16, 2014
Maybe you should stop praying, bruv. I can sort of relate to this without the praying part. I often spend too much time helping people out. I'm not doing bad myself but I know I could do a bit better if I were to become more self centred.

I noticed that the people you mentioned were actively pursuing something and were working at it (I'm not saying that you are sitting ducks). Sooner or later and without your prayers, they were going to succeed anyway.

There is no way to ascertain that your prayers caused their "successes". I am sure you must have prayed for others who did not achieve what they came to you for prayers for. If you can honestly say that 100% of the people you pray for have had their prayers answered 100% of the time, then I can say that you indeed have a "blessing", not a problem. If not, pray less and work more.

If I pray for someone applying for a visa, there are only two outcomes, they either get it, or get declined = 50/50 chance. The visa didn't come out of the blue. It's not magic neither is it a miracle, work was put in, people get visas.

The bank hired that person whose CV you dropped because they needed someone to fill a gap. Maybe you should have dropped yours instead? (if you are looking for a bank job, that is)

It is quite normal for those whom you teach to perform better than you because, you spent your time developing them, rather than yourself. This is not a bad thing if we lived in a collective/communal society where successes and failures are shared by all but unfortunately, we live in an individualistic one.

Don't feel depressed or worried bro, keep working, pray for others less.

Alright then bruh, my bad. However, one thing I was often advised is that you should never search for employment with a friend. That is like Samsung having an exhibition for its products and inviting Apple to have a stall there as well. You don't invite a competitor to your show. This emphasises my point about the type of society we live in.

The spiritual often eludes me, I must say.

I suppose you are making progress which is good.
