HEARTFELT PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS 2

MEMORY VERSE: - James 5:16 - “.... The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

In Part 1 we looked on Point #1, which is the "Heartfelt Prayer". Today we are looking at Point #2: "PERSISTENT PRAYER" that which KJV translated as Fervent Prayer is talking about persistent prayer. To be persistent is to press on, to put pressure on something, to work to achieve a goal even if it is difficult. 

Furthermore, to be persistent is to be determined, it is to not quit nor give up until you achieve the desired result. It is to stubbornly continuing to do something. 

And so, persistent in prayers is to continue to pray no matter what. Even if in the cause of your prayers the battle becomes more intense, you must not get discouraged nor quit praying but must pray more and keep praying.

This is where many are failing, they do not persist in prayers, they give up easily. Do you not know that the enemy of your glory will always fight back and will not want to let you go? 

Just as Pharaoh pursued the Jews when they were leaving Egypt because he did not want to let them go: so also the enemy continue to fight you back because he does not want to let you go to become what God has destined you to be. And you must not let him have his way by giving up.

David wrote in 2 Samuel 22:38, “I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed." David said he didn't give up until his enemies were consumed, finished off, eliminated, crush, conquered. This is a man of perseverance. Why should you turne back when you are not done yet? You must accomplish the mission and return back with victory report. 

Listen, Jesus said "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62). In order word, such people are not counted among the true children of God. Because every true child of God is exactly like their father in heaven and the Father does not stop until he has achieved his goal.   


PRAYER 

Father in heaven, honor to your name. This day I ask for grace to be persistent in prayers. I repent for my insensitivity to my commitment to prayers, Amen.

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED MEMORY VERSE: - Philippians 1:6 - “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” God doesn't do anything halfway, whatever he starts, he brings it into a perfect end. They maybe distractions in the process, they maybe some forces contending with you to stop you from getting to the finishing point but they can't stop you because they cannot stop He who is involved in the affairs of your life.  Therefore, no matter what the enemy throws your way, have faith in God, refuse to be distracted, refuse to be frustrated by anyone but stay focused: for the Lord God in the midst of your life is mighty and greater than all. Who can contend with Him, who can withstand His great power. He promised you that he is with you always. “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20). And furthermore, in Hebrews 13:5 He said, "I will not leave you

AVOID DIVERSIONS

AVOID DIVERSIONS MEMORY VERSE: - Jonah 1:3 - "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish” (NLT) One of the ways the devil is using to rub many people of their blessing is through diversions. The Lord gave a message to Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and announce his judgment against it because of their wickedness but Jonah chose not to go, instead he went another way and his own way the scripture says was the "Opposite Direction." Oftentimes, people choose to go the opposite direction against God's original agenda for them when things are not going as planned. When vision is being delayed and when they are hit with challenges and difficulties in the process of trying to achieve what they were given to do. In the opposite direction is confusion.... In the opposi

NOW IS YOUR MOMENT

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   NOW IS YOUR MOMENT MEMORY VERSE: - John 11:21-24, "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day"   A lot of people pray but do not believe they can have the answer to their request immediately. Their faith is always in the future. The mindset of future has kept them from embracing that which is theirs at the moment. Thus, they neglect the place of faith in the now of today’s experience. While Martha could only think of the future as the only time her brother could rise again from the dead, Jesus was seeing it happening in the moment. Beloved, it's time to wake up and begin to walk in the 'now' faith. What is now? It means at the present time or moment. it is right
