MFM Daily Devotional for 29 April 2022 MESSAGE
We are still on the power of prayer. Our discussion of the topic will not be complete without mentioning the name of Daniel. Or how else do we want to classify someone that was thrown mercilessly into the den of lions overnight and came out alive in the morning hale and hearty? No doubt, there is power in prayer.
Please note that Daniel did not become an emergency prayer warrior so that the lions would not make him their dinner; he had already cultivated the habit of prayer before that time. Prayer was practically second nature to him. It was recorded concerning Daniel, that: “…….he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.” (Daniel 6:10b)
Daniel was hated, not for any offence he committed, but simply because of God’s grace and favour upon his life. Jealous and envious colleagues conspired against him to pull him down; they cleverly and successfully instigated the king against him and thought that was his end. Humanly speaking, that would have been the end of Daniel, but not with the God of Daniel.
May be, like Daniel, you have been doing your duties diligently in your place of work, business or environment but there are evil gang-ups and conspiracies all around you. I have good news for you: the God of Daniel is still very much alive and at work. If only you can be like Daniel and cultivate the habit of persistent prayer, you will also see God in action on your behalf.
It is written: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20) Our Lord Jesus Himself, while teaching on prayer, said: “…..that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” (Luke 18:1b).
Beloved, I encourage you to pray persistently and experience the power thereby, in Jesus’ name.
