TOPIC: The Power of Prayer (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 29 May 2019)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 7-9; John 11:1-29
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 4:24-31
MEMORY VERSE: “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” – James 5:17-18
The MESSAGE:
Prayer is one important asset God has given to man and it often said that ‘a closed mouth is a closed destiny’. Little wonder the Bible encourages believers to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The Psalmist, having known the relevance of this important tool for his life fulfilment, cried out to God; “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come” (Psalm 65:2). Biblical accounts and experiences of our time show that great things and truly all things are achieved through prayers. By prayers, the sea parted before Moses and Isreal, the sun stood still for Joshua; three nations perished before Judah when Jehoshaphat cried to God; God secured Judah against king Sennacherib when Hezekiah prayed in faith; the wisdom of Ahithophel became foolish for king David’s sake; Daniel was saved from the jaws of lions, Jesus called Lazarus out of the grave after four days, Peter was delivered from prison and all the expectations of the jews, and lots more.
