Invitation To Prayer Is A Great Privilege
Tuesday 17th June
Text: 1 Kings 18:30-39
Key Verse: And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us. 1 John 5:14.
Three things are important in prayer:
i. Make sure that whatever you are asking for is in line with the scriptures: Something that is in purity and holiness; good, clean and not damaging to the cause of Christ. Make sure it conforms to the will of God. These are the things to pray on because they are in God's will.
ii. Know that God hears you: God has prepared Himself and has cleared the sky for the prayer of the righteous to ascend as the sacrifice of Abel. Your prayers will go up straight and acceptably to God. Praise the Lord! As you are praying, He is hearing. Knowing that He is hearing, wait patiently for the answer. Just go and wait for the answer. I'm assuring you that the answer is on the way. The answer will meet you in the Church, in the house, on the way, at your workplace, or at school.
iii. The Prayer Privilege of King Solomon And Prophet Elisha: Solomon had this great privilege. Elisha enjoyed this privilege; and you also have this great privilege! What was the privilege of Solomon? A thousand burnt offerings! I do not think anybody had offered anything like that to God before. No one could have done something like that: a thousand animals offered and burnt before God! It cost a lot. Solomon served the Lord in such a costly way because he loved the Lord. The Bible says, “And Solomon loved the Lord.” So, when that special dedication happened, it touched the heart of God in heaven and He came and spoke to Solomon saying, “Ask what I shall give thee.” What an open door! If God comes today and says, “Church, ask what I shall give thee,” what will you ask as a Church? If the Lord now talks to you personally just like He did to Solomon (you love God; you are consecrated to serving God; you are dedicated to serving God) and God says, “My child, ask what I shall give thee.” That was the privilege Solomon had.
