“BACK TO SENDER” PRAYER
TEXT: JAMES 5:7-11
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 27TH
Key verse: Deuteronomy 28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken Me.
Back to sender is another kind of prayer or decree some misguided believers often make. According to them, the plague sent against them should go back to whoever sent it. This is not only a display of ignorance but rebellion! Many of the plagues sent against sinners and backsliding believers come from God Who intends to bring them to repentance and to His righteousness and holiness. When you see a plague in your life, you cannot quickly say Back to sender. You may be sending the plague back to God! The first thing to do is to examine yourself to see whether you have sinned against the Lord to warrant His allowing such affliction to come upon you. If the Holy Spirit brings your sins before you, what you need to do is to confess your sins to God and repent of them. Then you can ask God in humility and patience to remove the plague from you.
Sometimes the will of God for you is that you should bear with what your enemies are doing against you because He is turning it for your good. He is by the affliction working out some great transformation and glory in your life according to His will. We have seen this mystery in the lives of the Bible and contemporary saints. Apostle Paul had an affliction and prayed that God might remove it from him. God did not do so, rather He gave him enduring grace. Be patient and wait for the Lord. Do not follow these ungodly shortcuts. Subject yourself to scriptural prayers and you will enjoy answers to your prayers. To join misguided believers and churches to pray unscriptural prayers will hinder true answers to your prayers by God and corrupt the righteousness and holiness of God in you and open the door to more satanic afflictions in your life. The final consequence will be your damnation in hellfire.
Thought for the day: Subject yourself to scriptural prayers and you will enjoy answers to your prayers.
Song for the day: Verily, verily, You are good (3x), Jesus, You are good
Bible reading for the day: Zechariah 4-6; Revelation 18
