BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ex 36, John 15, Prov 12, Eph 5
BIBLE STUDIES: Psalm141:1-4
Instead
of complaining or grumbling to God, take that matter or challenge to
God in prayer. Instead of worrying and asking ‘why me’, pray to God.
Matthew 21:22 says and all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive.
Many prayers are
unanswered today as a result of the activities that takes place after
prayer. Whether you believe it or not, what you do after praying can
either cause the heaven’s to honor your request or ignore your request.
Don’t expect a response from God if you walk straight into adultery or
fornication after praying. Don’t expect God to rebuke devourers for your
sake if after a praying you refuse to pay your tithes. Actually the
most delicate time is moments after praying, that is when the enemy
attacks most. This is why you have to guide your heart against evil
thoughts or avoid quarrels after praying because the enemy uses that a
lot to rob many of their blessing. Exercise patience and avoid getting
angry after praying, I pray the enemy will not rob you of your
breakthrough. There are certain things you have to do after praying;
failure to them may result in heavens not granting your petition.
Remember, the enemy waits after prayers to rob many of their blessings.
What did David do after crying to God in our bible studies? Firstly, he
surrendered his life to God. After praying to God, surrender the matter
to God. Secondly, he began to watch the words of his mouth. Many after
asking God for a job will start to confess that the economy is hard and
there are no jobs. It is what God hears you say that He will do, Numbers
14:28. It is unwise to go to God for a life partner, and after praying
you begin to confess that it is hard to get a good woman or man. Many
even do worse by confessing that there are no good men or woman around.
After praying, begin to confess what you want. Thirdly and the most
important thing he did was he did not allow evil thoughts in his heart.
Philippians 4:8 says whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Not only, that David separated himself from ungodly friends and kept
himself pure. Psalm 1:1 says blessed in the man who goes not walk in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful. After David did all these, heaven granted
his petition and his joy was full. By the time we get to Psalm 145, we
see David singing a psalm of praise. He sang a psalms of praise for the
rest of the book of Psalm.
PRAYER POINT: Father, please purge me of every thoughts that does not glorify you.
