March 1, 2019 Spirit Meat Daily Devotional : Topic - NOT ALL PRAYERS ARE ANSWERABLE - 1 JOHN 5: 14-15
This month, we will continue on the subject of prayers. Elijah was a man of like passion; he prayed that there would be no rain for the space of three years and God answered his prayer. If every believer in Christ would embrace biblical principles that govern prayer, the results would be phenomenal.
The first thing to understand is that not all prayers are answerable. The earlier you realize this truth the better for you because many Christians disturb themselves with prayers that God cannot hear because they negate the laws that govern prayer.
Verse 14 of today’s passage reveals that a major key to answered prayers is to obtain the hearing of God. This verse also tells you that it is only the prayer that is prayed according to the will of God that God will hear. “If we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petition that we desire.” The opposite will also be true that, “if we don’t know that He hears us in whatsoever we ask, we don’t know that we have the petition that we desire.”
Be a prayer champion that is victorious in prayer and not just a prayer warrior spending hours in futile unanswerable prayers. It is the prayer champion that receives answers to prayers. Prayer is not the same as begging. Asking is prayer, but begging is not prayer and complaining is also not prayer. Praying entails:
1. Reminding God of His written word or prophecy to you.
2. Listening to the Holy Spirit’s instructions.
3. Thanking God that He has already done what you requested.
4. Asking that your joy be full.
5. Casting your care of the answer on God.
6. Keeping your confession in line with your answer.
When you’re not doing these, don’t be surprised that your ‘prayer’ is unanswerable.
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from futile labours in the place of prayer. I ask for deeper understanding of the laws of prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen!
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Leviticus 24:1-25:46, Mark 10:13-31, Psalm 44:9-26, Proverbs 10:20-21
