TOPIC: ASK ME TO DO IT FOR YOU
OCTOBER Friday 26th
TEXT: Ezekiel 36: 25-37
KEY VERSE: Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. Ezekiel 36: 37
“Then shall I sprinkle clean water upon you…” Can you see God promising to save the sinners, promising to give you a new heart: a heart of love, a heart of holiness, a heart of obedience? He is promising to perfect you. Among many other things, He said: “And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:27. In other words, God is saying, “I will give you My Spirit, and give you my grace, and put my power of righteousness within you that will cause you to live your life without offending me.” Doesn’t God know that you need the grace from Him to live a righteous life? Doesn’t God know that you need to fight temptation to keep a clean heart? Doesn’t God know that men are tempting, women are tempting, money is tempting, and the things around you are tempting to you? Yes, He knows all these troubles around you, but wants you to pray to Him about them.
God is saying, ‘With all these promises I have made, I am expecting the children of Israel to tell Me to do it for them because of my attribute as a prayer answering God. Go and offer prayers and I will answer by doing it for you.’ Thank God, the disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray.” He responded and said: “After you have worshipped God in heaven, then say ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’” Mathew 6:9-13; Luke 11:1-4. Does God not know that you need to eat food? He keeps your food and waits for you to pray. Does God not know that you are feeling headache, that you are feeling sick? He keeps your medicine (healing) and waits for your prayer. Does God not know that the enemy is attacking? He keeps the victory and waits for you to pray. In fact, sometimes, He expects your prayer to fill a bottle before answers start gushing out for you! “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” Psalm 56:8, 9. God expects volumes of prayer from you. When Jesus taught His disciples, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one,” these are just short statements but they talk about volumes of prayer, which is God’s expectation from you.
Thought for the day: God expects volumes of prayer from you.
Song for the day: Prayer is the key
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 17-19; 1 Timothy 6
