Topic: Enforcing God’s Will.
Memory Verse :James 4:6. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Bible Reading :James 4:2-5. Key Verse: v3.
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Prayer is one of the things we are called to engage in as believers as a lifestyle. In prayer we talk to God in order to receive from him because he is our source in everything. This implies that we look upto him for the supply of our needs. Even God himself encouraged us to always ask in the name of Jesus the Christ in his word in order to always receive. But we need to understand that God will not always grant our requests when they are motivated by our selfishness and lustful lifestyles. We have to be careful here in our asking because some of the things we put ahead of God’s will in the place of prayer can become an idol to us because they steal our hearts from genuine and heartfelt service to him. This happens when our desires falls short of God’s will for our lives and our generation. This certainly can lead to unanswered prayers in the life of believers.
We must learn to discern therefore the will of God in the place of prayer as to align with hm in order to enforce divine purpose. “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2. This means that our focus in the place of prayer should be to make sure that God’s will is done on earth and not ours. This end time, there’s need for praying men to arise to agree with God for his purpose to find fulfillment here on earth, as the people occupying till he comes.
“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:18-20. We as people of God need to understand the authority Jesus willed to us here on earth to determine what happens and what won’t happen at any given time or places. As believers, whatever we allow is what happens and whatsoever we disallow, heaven will always uphold in our lives and in the lives of others around us including his kingdom generally. When we join our voice to pray in unity of purpose, there’s no power anywhere that can stop us from having our way when we are in line with God’s purpose. When we understand this, we will be able to take territories for Jesus standing on his word that is reliable.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for your saving grace that qualified me to represent you here on earth. From today help me to live upto my responsibilities before you in the place of prayer. Help me to always discern your will and agree with you, so that your will always prevail in every situation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Joshua 10:1-14.
