Topic : Making Impact Through Prayer.

Memory Verse :James 5:14. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

Bible Reading : James 5:16-18 KJV. Key Verse : v17.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 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.

Here we see James teaching us how best we can always be our brothers keeper. One of the things we have to do for our fellow believers is to provide them with our prayer covering. Anytime fellow believers are going through challenges or difficult times, we should not feel unconcerned, but must take it up to stand with them in the place of prayer. Our intercession goes a long way to shape as well as reshape things in the lives of fellow believers. Even Apostle Paul solicited for prayers when writing believers under his spiritual watch. “Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. And pray also that God’s revelation would be released through me every time I preach the wonderful mystery of the hope-filled gospel. Yes, pray that I may preach the wonderful news of God’s kingdom with bold freedom at every opportunity. Even though I am chained as a prisoner, I am his ambassador.” Ephesians 6:17:18-20 TPT.

Prayer is a very important dimension in the life of every believer that wants to make impact in life. This is because it the authentic channel through which our relationship with God is strengthened and made viable. It is an exercise that lubricstes our spiritual life through communication with God who is the father or creator of all spirits. In the place of prayer, the mind of God is revealed to us concerning very important and sensitive issues of life. There we are able to receive divine direction and instructions that makes our lives outstanding.

According to James account from v13, there are certain factors we need to note that will make our prayers most effective anytime we appear before the Lord. One of these factors is that our prayers must be made in righteousness. This means that living our lives in pursuit of God’s righteousness makes it impossible for God not to listen when we call. This type of righteousness can only be found in his son Jesus Christ, who bestows his righteousness on us as a gift when we believe in him. Another factor that makes our prayers effective is that we confess our sins to, as well as forgive one another. Jesus taught in Mathew 6:114-15 that God can only forgive us our sins, to the extent we ourselves forgive those who sin against us. On a last note for today, the prayer that makes things happen must be born out of a fervent or passionate heart to be able to make a difference for kingdom purposes. Elijah didn’t stand to control the rain for his personal gain, but to prove that the God we serve is sovereign or rules over every authority of men we can see here on earth.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for listening to me anytime I call upon you in righteousness. From today, help me to make every sacrifices needed to be able to affect lives and society in my days in the place of prayer. Thank you for always honoring Jesus in my life in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 17:20-37.
