United in Prayer

Again, I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:19

Bible Reading: Acts 4:23-31

Prayer is a way of communicating with God. Prayer is a vital tool for unlocking the doors of heaven and getting our desired blessings. To get answers to prayer, you must decide on what exactly you want from God in accordance to His will (Mark 10:51). Prayer of unity is when two or more people agree on a particular issue and put it before God in prayer. In the text above, a certain lame man was healed by Peter and John as they went to pray in the temple, the people marvelled at what was done and some surrendered their lives to Jesus. But the elders and Sadducees were wroth with Peter and John, and they arrested them, commanding them not to preach any longer in the name of Jesus. The apostles were grieved about this and reported the case to their local assembly. The people gathered and prayed fervently concerning the matter and God intervened, leading to a great harvest of souls by the church. This pattern prayer exemplified by the early church still works today if God’s people can be united in prayer. However, for this kind of prayer to work there must be unity of purpose and it must be made in one accord.

Action Point: Prayer of unity must be among believers for it to work. Amos 3:3

Daily Confession: Lord, grant us boldness that we may declare Your word to all.

Intercessory prayer: Lord encounter your church afresh (in our mid-week and Sunday services) and encounter our community through our service to our community in Jesus name.
