THE POWER OF PRAYER AND PRAISE


MEMORY VERSE: - Acts 16:25 - "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them"

Paul and Silas were on their way to prayer, when they encountered a fortune telling girl. The spirit inside the girl knew the truth about God’s power, and she followed them for days saying the same thing over and over. Eventually, Paul sensed that the spirit in her is not right thus, he cast the spirit out of her.

This made her masters angry and they came after Paul and Silas and locked them up in the prison. Now, in the midst of their challenge, Paul and Silas did not murmur against God neither did they complain nor feel bad about their situation. Rather, they turn to God in prayer mixed with praise.

While some believers would have felt bad and abandoned by God for not coming in His power to save them immediately but instead He allowed the matter to escalate to the point of them being taken to prison. I tell you that most naturally minded believers would have been downcast but Paul and Silas were found to have a heart of gratitude.

Wherefore, they arose at midnight when others were sleeping in order to avoid distractions and they began to pray and sang praises to their God who alone is able to deliver them. They acknowledged that He is faithful and true. They recognised that He has power over all people and things and they know that He will certainly prevail for them.

The prayer that is mixed with praise is that of faith in the power of God's Almightiness. It is the prayer of knowledge of the victory we have in Christ already. It is the prayer that commands heaven's attention and confuses the enemy. It is the prayer that flows from within the innermost part of your being.

Child of God, don't allow any situation to deter you, take charge and pray the prayer of Paul and Silas. It may be you have prayed in the past and they seems to be no sense of God's presence and no manifestation yet, put a praise on it.

PRAYER
I will exalt you Lord for your love has lifted me above my circumstances. You are great and greatly to be praised and adore..... let your glory overshadow me today in all wisdom in the name of Jesus, Amen.

MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 3:6 - “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Like I said in the part one of this topic, Jesus did not come to bring another religion but to bring sons and daughters unto the Father.  Religion is nothing but an ideology, but relationship and family is the real thing. Wherefore, Christ has enabled us to be children of God by the Spirit not of laws (religion). The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. Living in religion kills but being a man or woman of relationship gives life. What Satan is using to rob people of their right to experiencing God's full package for them is religion.  Religion is a mock, a counterfeit, and a deception. But that which God offers us is relationship by the power of the Spirit.  Christianity is not in religion but an

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
