God’s Plan (II)

God’s Plan (II)

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you”. Jeremiah 29:12 [KJV]

Bible Reading: Jeremiah 29:11-14

Yesterday, I declared that God’s plan for you this year is amazing, and He will see to it that He bring His word to pass if you can align with Him. For a reader of this devotional, I am here to let you know that you are in for the miraculous this season in Jesus name. Will God, the creator heaven and the earth, not bring to pass that which He has said concerning you? He knows you by name, He knows the number of hair on your head, and He has your name engraved in the palm of His hands. Now that you know that God’s plans for your life are glorious, there are steps you need to take to align yourself to His plan and purpose. One of the steps is to pray God’s plan into fulfilment in your life.

You can’t afford to be lukewarm in prayer  this year because your life depends on it. In fact, you are to pray without ceasing (I Thessalonians 5:16). God wants you to pray for His kingdom to come and for His will to be done in your life this year. Our reading today is a continuation of God’s plan which started in Jeremiah 29:11. Because you know His plan (as He has said in earlier verse), you are to pray and seek Him and He will hearken unto you. The question is are you willing to obey God’s instruction to pray?

You have to understand that when you pray, you are communicating with God, and you are reinforcing His plan here on earth. You are taking authority and appropriating the victory you have in Christ Jesus. One of the weapons we have as Christians is prayer. In fact, the Bible says that ‘… the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much’ (James 5:16). Don’t just pray, rather be fervent in your prayer. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous is a prayer that is full of faith because ‘the just shall live by faith’ (Romans 1:17).

Dear friends, instead of complaining and speaking negative words about your situation, pray about it. Make declarations according to the word of God. Before you take any decision, pray first and I will finally say, pray, pray and pray.

Daily Confession: I choose to pray this year. I am wise this year as I appropriate my victory in Christ Jesus through prayer. I pray without ceasing. Lord help me to pray this year. I rely on the Holy Spirit to help me pray, intercede, and commit all things unto God through prayer in Jesus’name, amen.

Intercessory prayer: Lord I pray that you release the grace for supplication upon my household and the church of God to pray for your move in our city, nation, and the world.

Hymn: Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So in sorrow and in gladness,

Don’t forget to pray.
