Topic — The Products of Dedication to Prayer
[Seeds of Destiny 2 May 2019 Devotional]
It has been confirmed that there can be no products without practice; where there is no effort, there cannot be effect, and without responsibility, there can be no possibility. This means, if we embark on the practice of prayer, there are products we are expected to see in life. Now, what are the products of prayer?
SCRIPTURE: And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. – Luke 9:29
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Transformation of destiny happens at the place of prayer.
Yesterday, we saw that a major proof of dedication to God is a lifestyle of prayer and study of the Word. Praying and studying the Word are very critical and essential duties of a child of God. Prayer and the Word must be combined in order to for one to become an outstanding Christian and kingdom star.
It has been confirmed that there can be no products without practice; where there is no effort, there cannot be effect, and without responsibility, there can be no possibility. This means, if we embark on the practice of prayer, there are products we are expected to see in life. Now, what are the products of prayer?
Let me give you four of them:
i. The Altar of Prayer is the Altar of Transformation.
Prayer does not only change things; prayer also changes people who pray. Prayer changes or transforms our character and makes us to be Godlike (Luke 9:29). Transformation of destiny happens at the place of prayer.
ii. The Altar of Prayer is the Altar of Consecration.
Prayer separates you from bad habits, connections and associations. Prayer purges the life of the Christian. The place of prayer is the place of consecration and sanctification (Luke 9:29, Matthew 6:13).
iii. The Altar of Prayer is the Altar of Empowerment and Manifestation.
It is not possible to be prayerful and be powerless (James 5:17-18). People of prayer are people of power; the negligence of prayer is the acceptance of powerlessness.
iv. The Altar of Prayer is the Altar of Connection to Divine Resources
Whatever is available with God is accessible at the altar of prayer – be it supernatural supplies, power, blessing, favour, etc. (Matthew 6:11). Prayer grants access to God and His treasures.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to be devoted to God in prayer in order to experience life transformation, consecration, empowerment and access to divine supplies.
REMEMBER THIS: Transformation of destiny happens at the place of prayer.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1.Make up your mind to live a prayerful life.
2.Resist every temptation to live a prayerless life.
PRAYER: O LORD, I ask that You rekindle the fire of my prayer altar. I ask for the grace to pray without ceasing, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
