MFM Daily Devotional 10 July 2023 MESSAGE
Prayer is the greatest force in the universe. It is the weapon on which other weapons of our spiritual warfare depend because you get to engage all other weapons in God’s armoury in the place of prayer. The following are some interesting and eye-opening definitions of prayer:
(1) It is offering one’s heart’s desire unto God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the help of the Holy Spirit.
(2) It is the greatest privilege of a redeemed soul.
(3) It is the key of the morning and the bolt of the night.
(4) It is conversing and fellowshipping with God. It is a love affair with God.
(5) It is the greatest outlet of power.
(6) It is a perpetual force, against all powers of darkness in all their ramifications.
(7) It puts a believer in a place of advantage.
As Christians, we cannot afford to dwell forever in the simplest realm of prayer. We need to go higher and further by exploring the depth that Elijah the prophet operated in. 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. (James 5:17). Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. Therefore, as you enroll in the school of prayer, you must make serious efforts to move unto maturity. Prayer is one of life’s deepest mysteries. There is no substitute for it. A Christian is greatest on his or her knees. Every great move of God can be traced to a kneeling figure or figures. Prayer is the only thing the devil cannot do and he trembles greatly when a Christian prays.
Beloved, you can rewrite your history on your knees like Jabez. You can stop the enemy’s agenda for your nation through prayers like Esther. You can control the elemental forces to your advantage through prayers like Joshua.
When it hard to pray, then it is time to pray hard. When you are down, pray! When you are up, pray!! Pray, pray, pray until your joy is full.
