June 4, 2019 Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional : TOPIC - Overcoming Struggle in Prayer

- , , , ,
--> 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.

June 4, 2019 Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional : TOPIC - Overcoming Struggle in Prayer 

TOPIC - Overcoming Struggle in Prayer 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 21-22; John 14
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 14:13-17
MEMORY VERSE: “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” – Luke 18:1

The MESSAGE:
When we begin to struggle in the place of prayer, two things are involved. The first is sin and the second is absence of the word of God.
Sin is a sinker, it is a devourer and it kills. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23), and “The soul that sinneth shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20). Sin is a destroyer. Adam had a beautiful experience in the Garden of Eden until sin invaded his fellowship with God. David enjoyed victory everywhere and remained the man after God’s heart until he committed adultery and murder (2 Samuel 11:17). Solomon remained the wisest king in biblical history until he was led astray by strange women and idol worship (1 Kings 11:5). Samson remained the strongest man in Israel until he encountered Delilah (Judges 16:4). These great generals were plucked down, devastated and grounded by sin, so that their relationship with God was hindered. Therefore, they staggered and struggled in the place of prayer because, the devil is an accuser of the brethren. Beloved, do you know that people living in sin in our churches today live in extreme criticism, gossiping and strife because their heaven has been made brass by their own doings? These people often make themselves judges in the house of God; they are political in all their decisions and not spiritual. They work very hard to frustrate the move of God, and they become haters of righteousness, truth and holiness in the house of God. People with such antecedents will definitely struggle in the place of prayer.
The second thing that makes us struggle in prayer is the absence of the word of God. The Psalmist declares in Psalm 119:105 that, “The word of God is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” This means that without the word of God in someone’s life, there is absolute darkness and lots of struggle in the place of prayer. This is because when we dwell in darkness, we are closed up in obscurity and ignorance of our rights as children of God. The devil therefore takes advantage of us and afflicts us sore. Remember that, God honours His word more than His name. Our Lord Jesus Christ defeated the devil with the word of God -“It is written…” (Matthew 4:4). Without the word of God in our lives, we will not only struggle in the place of prayer, we will also live in spiritual famine as recorded in (Amos 8:11-13) which states, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.”
A wandering soul will only pray amiss and will struggle in the place of prayer because of the famine of the word of God. Our generation is plagued with the famine of the word of God, truth, righteousness and holiness. Therefore, prayer has become a scarce commodity to many believers who stagger and struggle in an attempt to pray because the prayer of a sinner is an abomination to the Lord.
