PRAY IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
TEXT:
DANIEL 6:20-22
Key
verse: “The LORD is far from
the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.” Proverbs
15:29
God wants you to ask – anything!
Whatsoever you can ask that will move God to demonstrate His power in your life
and cause His Name to spread all over and move people to give glory to Him
everywhere – that is what God wants. But He says you must ask in righteousness:
“If
ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it
shall be done unto you” (John 15:7). Make sure you
are living the Christian life. Make sure you are an obedient child of God. Make
sure you are committed to the ordinance of Christ, that you abide in Christ and
the word of truth abides in you. Make sure you are living by the word in your
personal life, in your marital life and in your family life; you are living by
the word in your business life; you are living by the word in your academic
life. Then you can ask because you belong to God and you are a child of God.
I heard of a man of God who came
to the airport and discovered that the plane he was to board had already taken
off and he needed to get to his destination in order to keep an appointment.
So, it came to his mind that God said “Ask
anything,” “Ask and it shall be given unto you.” He lifted up his eyes and
said, “O God, I want to go on my journey
and the plane has left, but I am asking that this plane that is going should
come back for me.” Praise the Lord! Has it happened like that before? Do
not mind whether it has happened before or not; just pray. God is saying you
should ask and He will do it in your life. He wants to magnify Himself. He
wants to glorify Himself. He wants people to experience His awesome power. When
situations are difficult and you bring such difficult situations before God and
He manifests forth His glory, people will believe God. When the man of God
prayed, the pilot felt that he forgot something and turned back. But what do
you think he forgot? It was that man of God!
Thought
for the day: In righteousness, before you call, God will answer you.
Song for the day: All prayers He will answer
