TOPIC: FAITH IN PRAYER
TEXT: MARK 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them . KJV
I am glad that you and I can have access to our desires by prayer. God want us to have the best of the things we truly need in accordance to his will, thus, he gave us the righteous means to receive this goodness. He said we should pray. However, with the direction that there is need to have faith and belief in our prayer such that, we don't wait for our desires to materialise but should see it as that which is achieved already.
Thus, Jesus went further in the interpretation of his actions to Peter and the other disciples as regarding the fig tree. He established that we don't just have what we say, when we believe; but also by faith, we will have our desires met. Prayer is simply the act of expressing faith in God. Therefore, the child of God, who is well acquainted with the pattern of exercising the spirit of faith, will learn to walk by faith and not by sight.
What are your desires? Can you practice the word of God in Mark 11:24 above? Pray about them, believe that what you say will be done and that which you have asked in prayer is answered. Then, rest in the Lord. Don't go about devising means to manifest or bring to reality what you already prayed about. Simply, listen to God's voice in your Spirit. You are being carried on the wings of faith, allow him to do his work. Keep rejoicing and give maximum thanks to God. You will see mark 11:24 come to pass in your life and you will be bold to trust the power of God's words.
It's Christmas! Let your desires cut across thanksgiving to God, who loved the world and gave his only begotten son. Let it reach out to the lost in the world and to those, who are incapacitated and are trusting God for a miracle. You can be an answer to someone's desire and prayer as well. Ensure you put a smile on someone's face today. Be intentional about God's goodness.
Be a conduit of his faithfulness, power, grace and glory today. Merry Christmas to you! I rejoice with you.
PRAYER
Thank you, Father for the grace to pray and opportunity to have my desires met. I thank you because I can exercise faith in you, by trusting that all that I truly yearn for can be achieved by your power. Thank you for a beautiful Christmas. A day to celebrate you the lover of my soul and rejoice with others. Help me to be a blessing to someone today in Jesus' name. Amen
