MEMORISE: Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16
BIBLE READING: 2 Chronicles 7:13-14
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
MESSAGE:
Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us; it is a direct line of communication with Him through which we can experience His power. True prayer goes beyond mere words; it must be fervent, faith-filled, and sincere. When we pray with expectation, believing that God will answer, our prayers become powerful and effective.
Many of the miracles, signs, and wonders we see in the Body of Christ today are the results of seasons of consistent and heartfelt prayers by God’s children. Sometimes, people testify saying, “Daddy G.O. laid hands on me and said a simple prayer, and my miracle happened.” What they don’t realise is that those miracles were birthed from nights of intense prayer.
My dear child, don’t wait for emergencies before you pray. Make prayer a lifestyle, not just an occasional activity. Stay connected to God by joining physical and online prayer groups that will help you grow spiritually and keep your fire burning. May the Lord answer all your prayers speedily, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT:
Spend the next 15 minutes praying to your heavenly Father.
