Topic Prayer Changes All Things.
Memory Verse:Jeremiah 33:3. “Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvellous things that you know nothing about.
Bible Reading :1 Chronicles 4:8-9 GNB. Key Verse : v9.
There was a man named Jabez, who was the most respected member of his family. His mother had given him the name Jabez, because his birth had been very painful. But Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, “Bless me, God, and give me much land. Be with me and keep me from anything evil that might cause me pain.” And God gave him what he prayed for.
There’s something to learn from the life of Jabez in our main text. There was nothing to write home about the young man and his family, where nothing worked. The circumstances sorrounding his birth didn’t help matters because it was full of ugly experiences. The mum had to name him Jabez meaning sorrow or one delivered in pain. But Jabez refused to allow circumstances define him, as he took to a lifestyle of prayer because he knew a God who had what it takes to rewrites the stories of men with the ink of heaven. He therefore decided to seek this God till he answered him. “If you have ears, then, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches! “To those who win the victory I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give each of them a white stone on which is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.” Revelation 2:17.
One of the main reasons men fail in life is not because of the circumstances they find themselves in, but because they refused to serve and seek God in prayers till they find him. Prayer makes the creative power of God available to men on a platter of gold. In the place of prayer, destines of men, nations and generations are shaped and reshaped.. Through prayers, we are able to join forces with God to enforce his will and blessings over territories, our own lives and that of other people in distant and near places. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” .3 John 1:2-4.
If you look at the statement of Elijah closely when he was shutting down the heavens from giving neither dew nor rain till he makes another pronouncement over the land, you will discover that the secret of the uncommon power he wielded in the open was as result of the fact that he was a man who always appeared before the Lord in the secret place in order to control things using the intrumentality of prayer. ” Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years. Once again he prayed, and the sky poured out its rain and the earth produced its crops.” James 5:17-18.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for always coming down to my level to relate with me. I worship you because no praying man or people fails in life. From today, help me to stay with you in the place of prayer and change whatever situation that doesn’t glorify you in my life and that of my loved ones in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Genesis 11:1-9.
