TEXT LUKE 11:9-12
THE PREVAILING POWER OF PRAYER
[9]And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
[10]For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
[11]If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
[12]Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
Dearly beloved, prayer is so important in the life of a christian.
Whenever devil finds a child of God whose life is devoid of prayers, he camps with him and gradually destroys such a person.
He does not stop at the person but he ensures that he tears down every good thing that the person has ever done.
Prayer is as simple as the Lord presented it.
Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find.
If God's children ask not, they will have not.
When they have not, the ministry will experience hardship, obstacles that may ultimately hinder the plans of God for their ministry.
Paul speaking in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 said,
"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;"
When prayer starts becoming scarce, a desert is fast approaching.
When I say a desert, I mean the lack of everything that is good.
If you do not want to cry later, pray now.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
