May 1, 2019 Seeds Of Destiny Daily Devotional : Topic - Prayer and the Word – Tools in the Hands of the Dedicated

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Topic - Prayer and the Word – Tools in the Hands of the Dedicated 

A major proof of dedication is a lifestyle of addiction to prayer and the study of the Word. The ministry of prayer and the Word to a child of God is likened to the two legs of a person. Just as a person must stand on his two legs in the physical to maintain a balanced posture, it takes a stand on prayer on one leg and the Word on the other leg to have a balanced destiny.

SCRIPTURE: But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Dedication to God is a pathway to distinction in life; devotion is the pathway to destiny.
Dedication according to Cambridge English Dictionary is the willingness to give a lot of time and energy to something because it is important. Dedication to God means entrusting all of one’s life, time, energy and resources to God.
It has been confirmed that Dedication to God is a pathway to distinction in life; devotion is the pathway to destiny.

Just as a person must stand on his two legs in the physical to maintain a balanced posture, it takes a stand on prayer on one leg and the Word on the other leg to have a balanced destiny.
Now, let me give you few examples of dedicated people in the scripture and their commitment to prayer and the Word:
i) The Apostles: The apostles proved their dedication to God by giving themselves to prayer and the Word (Acts 6:4). No wonder they turned their world upside down for God (Acts 17:6) and did incredible exploits for the Kingdom of God, hence, we have ‘The Acts of the Apostles’ as a Book of the Bible. The apostles employed the tools of prayer and the Word in their journey of dedication to God.
ii. Abraham: Abraham was also a man of prayer and the Word. He got up early in the morning to commune with God (Genesis 19:27). He was also a man who knew the Word of God and so he had possession of the Ways of God (Genesis 18:17-19). He also employed the tools of prayer and the Word in His walk with God.
iii. Jesus Our Master: Our Master Jesus was a Man of prayer and the Word. In Luke 6:12, He went up to a mountain to pray to God all night, and in Luke 4:16, He read the Word, even though He was the Word of God personified.
Beloved, if Jesus, who had no need for anything could pray all night and also read the Word, then we are expected to do much more. I commend you to a lifestyle of consistent prayer and the study of the Word of God.
REMEMBER THIS: Dedication to God is a pathway to distinction in life; devotion is the pathway to destiny.
ASSIGNMENTS:

  2. You can use the ‘Daily Reading Plan’ in the Seeds of Destiny devotional as a guide.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: DEDICATION TO PRAYER AND THE WORD.
QUOTE: True spiritual growth is defined by increasing capacity to love what God loves and hate what God hates. Culled from WHO ARE YOU? by Dr Paul Enenche
DAILY READING: Judges 13:1 to 14:28, John 1:29 to 51, Psalm 102:1 to 28, Proverbs 14:15 to 16
AMAZING FACT: Billy Graham was often referred to as the ‘Pentecostal Pope’ because he attracted large crowds no matter where he preached. In a career that spanned over six decades from 1947 until his retirement in 2005, the preacher held more than 400 crusades and preached to more than 251 million people in more than 185 countries and territories across six continents.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: I prophesy a fresh hunger for prayer and the word on your life this season, in Jesus’ Name.
