Bible Reading: James 5: 13 - 20
Topic: The Power Of Prayer Of Faith
Our passage today shows us
clearly the efficacy of prayer in a Christian's life.
Prayer unlocks Heaven's
store rooms and lets loose the showers of grace, healing, provisions and many
other blessings.
It delivers from the power
of sin and the devil.
Prayer that is said in
faith draws spiritual strength from the deep well of God's grace.
Elijah was able to control
nature because he knew how to commune with God with a concentrated and pure
heart. He believed that one with God in prayer is Majority.
This implies that only
those who live right before God, those who hate sin with a passion (Prov. 15:
8b) can attract Heaven's attention, prevail over the challenges of life and
defeat the kingdom of darkness as Elijah did on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 17: 1;
18: 36 - 40; James 5: 17)
Brethren, when we face
crises or incredibly tough situations, let us remember that the same God Who
answered the prayer of Elijah is still alive.
All we do is to get right
with Him through confession of and repentance from sin (James 5: 16; Psalm 66:
18 - 20), then go down on our knees and pray the prayer of faith
We must persevere in
prayer until every barrier is removed and the windows of Heavens are opened.
Pray Until Something
Happens (PUSH)
Prayer:
My Father and my Lord,
enable me to remember always that "the effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much", Amen.
Memory verse: James 5: 16
"Confess your faults
one to another, and for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"
