--> 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.

WHEN THE CHURCH PRAYS

Read Acts 12:1-11

MEMORISE
Peter therefore was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him (Acts 12:5).


EXPOSITION
When the church prays in unity of purpose and one mind, miracles happen. Prayer is enforcing and executing God’s will on earth. When we don’t pray, then God seems to keep quite on our cases, until we realize the need for prayer.

King Herod took James and killed him without anyone questioning his actions, and the Bible did not record that the Church prayed for James, but when Herod took Peter, the Church quickly realized that, if they did not go into intense prayer for him, he too would be killed like James. Thank God for the prayer of the Church over Peter, the result of that prayer was that Peter was miraculously delivered from prison.

When we pray, we demonstrate our total dependence on Him, we declare our insufficiency and limitations and express our trust in His sufficiency and might. We also express our desire for His timely and right interventions. So, let us pray.

Many miracles pass us by because, we don’t pray at all, or we don’t pray enough. Many a times, God wants to do great and mighty things for us but, we don’t pray, so God keeps expecting our prayers. God has given us the power of choice and always wants us to ask (Matt. 7:7). He does not force anything on us but respects our choices on prayers and supplications. When we don’t pray, we cheat God, we cheat ourselves and we cheat our generations. Prayer is the key to experiencing divine intervention. So, pray always.

PRAYER POINTS

1. God, instill in us the Spirit of prayer.
2. God, rekindle the fire of prayer in our churches, in Jesus’ name.
3. Lord, help us to pray aright so we don’t pray in vain or amiss.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: 2 Samuel 14:28 - 16:21; Luke 24:36 - 24:53; John 1:1 - 1:4.
