SEEDS OF DESTINY BY DR PAUL ENENCHE 10TH DEC 2015

WORD REVELATION: KEY TO EFFECTIVE PRAYING

SCRIPTURE: Take with you words and turn to the Lord. Say unto Him, take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, so will we render the calves of our lips’. – Hosea 14:2

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A wordless prayer is a worthless prayer

The Word of God is a vital tool that enhances effectiveness in prayer. According to our anchor scripture, the revelation of God’s word is a major key to effective praying. To pray effectively, locate insights from God’s Word and turn to God in the place of prayer. In other words, if there is no word, there can be no turning to
God in prayer.

The fact is that the Lord is not going to respond to you on the basis of sentiments but on the basis of His Word. The Word of God is the solid ground for intercession, supplication and request. When Jesus was walking on water, Peter said, “If You are the one Master, ask me to come,” and when Jesus said, “Come!” Peter stepped on that Word and did not sink on the water. Some people said that Peter walked on water; in a sense, they are correct. But Peter actually walked on the word “COME” that was laid on the water. The Word landed on the water, so it was the Word that held him not the water.

In Daniel 9:2, Daniel understood by books the number of years that the people of Judah should spend in captivity. In verse 3 of the same Scripture, he decided to fast on that basis. He said, ‘I set my face onto the Lord, having understood from the book of Jeremiah that Judah was to be in captivity for 70 years.’ You see, he took that word and presented it before God.
A wordless prayer, therefore, is a worthless prayer.

Remember this: A wordless prayer is a worthless prayer

ASSIGNMENT(S):
