MFM Topic for Mon 10\07\23:- the believer’s weapons of spiritual warfare: prayer

Welcome to MFM Devotional 10\07\23

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalms 93 – 95; Ephesians 3 – 4

PRAISE & WORSHIP:
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

MEMORY VERSE:
Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable to them unto this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
If there is a man to pray, there is a God in heaven to answer.

10\07\23 PROPHETIC WORD:
I decree upon your life; all your prayer arrows will meet the target, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE:
Luke 18:1-8 – And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

10 JULY 2023 MESSAGE:
Prayer is the greatest force in the universe. It is the weapon on which other weapons of our spiritual warfare depend because you get to engage all other weapons in God’s armoury in the place of prayer. The following are some interesting and eye-opening definitions of prayer:

(1) It is offering one’s heart’s desire unto God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the help of the Holy Spirit.
(2) It is the greatest privilege of a redeemed soul.
(3) It is the key of the morning and the bolt of the night.
(4) It is conversing and fellowshipping with God. It is a love affair with God.
(5) It is the greatest outlet of power.
(6) It is a perpetual force, against all powers of darkness in all their ramifications.
(7) It puts a believer in a place of advantage.

As Christians, we cannot afford to dwell forever in the simplest realm of prayer. We need to go higher and further by exploring the depth that Elijah the prophet operated in. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. (James 5:17).

Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. Therefore, as you enroll in the school of prayer, you must make serious efforts to move unto maturity. Prayer is one of life’s deepest mysteries. There is no substitute for it. A Christian is greatest on his or her knees. Every great move of God can be traced to a kneeling figure or figures. Prayer is the only thing the devil cannot do and he trembles greatly when a Christian prays.

Beloved, you can rewrite your history on your knees like Jabez. You can stop the enemy’s agenda for your nation through prayers like Esther. You can control the elemental forces to your advantage through prayers like Joshua.
When it hard to pray, then it is time to pray hard.

When you are down, pray!

When you are up, pray!! Pray, pray, pray until your joy is full.
