PATIENCE IS REQUIRED IN PRAYER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

PATIENCE IS REQUIRED IN PRAYER
TEXT: 1 KINGS 18: 41- 46 
         
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15th
 
Key verse: Hebrews 10:36-37 36 For ye have to need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Patience is important in prayer. We need to wait for God’s divine intervention and responses to our prayers. We should try not to take any action until we are clear in our understanding of the will of God for our lives. We must have faith to believe that God hears our prayers and will respond at the precise time. Many times, believers do not understand the next move but have become hasty to make decisions. As we see in 1 Kings 18, Elijah instructed his servant, but the servant did not quite catch the vision until seven times later. It is a great lesson to us, that Elijah was not hasty to make rash decisions but was persistent to ensure the message and vision were clear. 
We must be patient to watch God at work in our prayer life by understanding His response to our petitions. As Christian people, we need to have faith that God will always act in our best interest. We have a purpose in our lives when we act within the providence of God! We have access to the power of the Holy Spirit when we wait on God’s providence with patient, purposeful and persistent prayer! We must be patiently persevering, as it shows God that we are serious in our prayer. 
We should not cease or faint in prayers, because the scripture admonishes us to pray without ceasing. Yes, there are moments of delay, but the Lord is saying to us, ‘don’t listen to delay, just continue praying and be patient.’ Remember, Jesus in agony went three times and fell before His Father with the same words. Remember, Daniel, prayed and was patient for the answer of deliverance even when the enemy was trying to rob him of the answer. When Satan comes with the spirit of defeat and impatience, shift to a higher gear in prayers, and your patience shall be rewarded in Jesus' Name.

Thought for the day: Wait on the Lord and be of good courage!

Song for the day: Pray until something happens, keep on praying,g and never stop

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 10-12; Hebrews 11:1-19

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
